I count on them for my our door garden lights even when the wire brakes! No job is to big or small they are the best! **★★★★★ — Kristy Andrews, June 2020** > John and his staff are wonderful. We had a very unusual situation in that it was difficult to get any wireless connection on our second floor. I had a couple of other people come out to the home and no one could solve the issue. John came out to our home within in few days of my call and was able to solve our issue beautifully. Recently, another member of his team came out for a separate issue and resolved the problem quickly. They are so clear about everything and don't waste anytime getting to the heart of the issue and resolving it for you. It's the kind of service that used to exist years ago and that you wished every business today would operate like this. I'm very grateful for John and the rest of the crew! **★★★★★ — John Parkinson, April 2019** > John and his knowledgeable team did some fairly challenging installation work for us. Did it quickly and efficiently, with minimal disturbance at a very fair price. We'd definitely use them again for any sort of digital home technology installation and support. Highly recommended. **★★★★★ — Kay Benoy, Dec. 2018** > The professionalism show by this company was impressive. > They know their business and are prompt > Would recommend them time and time again!! **★★★★★ — Karen Haworth, July 2018** > John Goldene & Digital Home Technologies are great. I have used them several times over the past few years and I am always happy with their service. They are trouble shooters and problem solvers. They recently completed the installation of outdoor speakers and an outdoor television on my new patio. I had a tight time constraint and they met that with no problem. I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Jennifer Pakulski, July 2018** > John and his team are exceptional. They have helped us with many projects which have all exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend. **★★★★★ — Michael Stone Group, March 2018** > JOHN is the consummate professional. Always upbeat and positive, with a “can do” approach to problem solving. We have worked together on many Custom projects over the years. JOHN listens to the clients needs, develops creative solutions, and then executes the game plan. JOHN is always versed on the latest technological advances our clients want in their homes, and is driven to achieve complete customer satisfaction on every project he undertakes. Digital Home Technologies is my vendor of choice for implementing cutting edge technology into our Custom Homes. I enthusiastically recommend John and his team at Digital Home Technologies. **★★★★★ — None None, March 2017** > With the expertise of Digital Home, they crafted an unbelievable home movie system in my family room. Great install and service, they're the best!!!! **★★★★★ — Heidi, April 2015** > We had digital home come out and install sound system and wired our whole house with audio and visual systems before we moved into our house. We were so pleased with the work that we had them back last summer to install an outdoor TV and speakers. Always professional, knowledgeable and easy to get a hold of. John, the owner knows his stuff and really took the time to explain all our options. Lately, we had a TV crisis when lightning struck out tree and did damage to our receiver- which meant no TV!! John came to our aid the next day and had his guys install a new system. He and his crew truly understand the importance to TV and sound systems! We know that as the years go on, we can count on digital home to satisfy our home digital needs. **★★★★★ — mikeh31, April 2015** > Digital Home and John have been a pleasure to work with over the years. I have worked for two distribution companies and am now a Rep. John has always broken his back to provide great service and good products for his customers. **★★★★★ — victoria\_shank, April 2015** > Digital Home worked with our home builder and us (the home buyer) to design and install our whole home audio, theater, TVs, networking and security cameras. They were very knowledgeable and attentive to meet our expectations as well as teach us a few things. It was a pleasure working with this professional and reliable company! **★★★★ — dzki, April 2015** > “A Digital Home” and John Goldenne are synonymous. > One can’t mention the Business without association with John. And, of course, the reverse is true. > > I find this alignment key, in that, John’s focused, personal attention to detail is reflected in the service and expertise ‘A Digital Home’ delivers. > > In a time when technologies are in a state of constant improvement, I am impressed with his depth of current product options. And yet, John knows which products fit well into a person or company’s personality. I guess that’s the design side of things and why I rely on John to work his magic. > > DS- ## Selected projects - [Barrington 2017](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/barrington-2017-pj-vj~2905676) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Highland Park](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/highland-park-pj-vj~2030004) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - Description: Simply put, everything about this suburban Chicago home is state of the art, from its deceptively simple facade to its complex yet easy to use home automation features.

Day after day, week after week, month after month for a year, the Chicago family contended with a “smart” home installation that was more pain than pleasure. There was no easy way to turn anything on. The video signal was lamely out of date, and the audio system wasn’t delivering a peep to where the homeowners wanted it. Sometimes the whole system just didn’t work. It seemed futile. The family shunned hiring a new contractor until an acquaintance glowingly recommended Digital Home T… - [Barrington Residential Retirement and Commercial](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/barrington-residential-retirement-and-commercial-pj-vj~1035491) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: The client’s demand was simple.
