**★ — Alexa Parashos, March 2026**

> The worst possible experience you can imagine. Spent over $300,000 on a home AV system with Josh and Project Automate. Josh was never able to get the system working properly and it was filled with bugs and other issues.
>
> Josh then resorted to creating fraudulent invoices claiming that he came to my home and performed services when he never did so.  Plain and simple fraud. When he was called put the fraudulent invoices, Josh sabatoged our system and cut off all our wifi access points.  As a result of Josh's incompetence and malicious actions we have to hire another AV company  to come in and take over the job.
>
> We are filing a civil lawsuit in superior court against Josh and his company and will update this review with the status of the case.

**★★★★★ — Phil H., Nov. 2020**

> We hired Project Automate to fix and take over our Control4 system. Josh was very professional and continuous. Very knowledgeable and excellent follow through. Always called back right away if he wasn’t available right away. I only wish we would have found him first! So we highly recommend Josh and his team.

**★★★★★ — HU-677182302, Oct. 2020**

> The Project: automate team recently completed an upgrade to our existing smart home system. Upgrading speakers and wifi routers, replacing amps and cameras, incorporating more options into our Control4 system and even replacing our home security system! They are full service, knowledgeable, prompt, reliable and dedicated. Thanks Project: Automate!

**★★★★★ — craig, Sept. 2020**

> Josh & Justice are amazing, knowledgable, always reachable to help troubleshoot after hours if necessary and genuinely excited about what they do. They set up the alarm system, landscape lighting plan and an amazing entertainment system. Everyone comments on the music from room to room, the unobtrusive speakers beautifully installed in the ceilings throughout the house and the back yard sound system. It truly feels like I'm at a resort. They worked w other subs to make sure the systems being installed would integrate seamlessly with theirs - and everything is controlled by one device (in addition to my phone): the alarm system, the music, the A/C, the pool & spa features, the TV & streaming services, etc. I don't at all consider myself an audiophile or tech savvy in the least. The thought of getting into all of this stuff made my head spin and made me feel a little insecure about whether or not I'd be able to navigate so many systems. With each new component that needed to be added, it was incredibly easy to book appointments and the guys showed up on time/early  and were neat, respectful and totally professional. Can't recommend them highly enough. They will totally transform your home into a place you can't wait to entertain (and maybe show off a little bit too).  ; )

**★★★★★ — HU-652349606, Sept. 2020**

> Project Automate provided a great service in updating my homes sound, control 4, tv, and camera systems.  Josh really offered me the best service at a great price and was very hands on in helping me set everything up in a timely- accurate fashion.  They also made great suggestions that has really upped my home AV game.

**★★★★★ — Ronnie Sieger, Aug. 2020**

> Josh and his team are the most knowledgeable and reliable team out there. Second to none. Always thorough, always accommodating!

**★★★★★ — Sheri Silverton, Aug. 2020**

> Josh has been our “go to” guy for house technology for 2 homes.  Our last house was just for internet TV but our latest house was old and Josh helped us turn it into a “smart house” with 5 internet/Roku TVs, Wi-Fi In every room and the backyard, and  sound bars on 2 of the TVs.
>
> If there’s ever a problem he is easy to text and responds promptly.   Josh knows his stuff!
