Cali Communications and Wiring

Calvin successfully concluded the project for me, and was only temporarily «way overloaded with work…
His knowledge is tops, and his prices are low… I WILL be calling him on the next occasion for getting an intercom fixed.
Thanks, Calvin.

Calvin did wiring for moving my office and computers and cable down to my lower unit. The work was done quickly, cleanly and very professionally. It’s nice to work with someone who knows their job, takes pride in their work and keeps their appointments. I would highly recommend Cali Communications.

The buzzer broke on the entrance doors of my building so my landlord hired an electrician to fix it. The electrician he hired decided the solution was to rewire the entrance buzzer, which involved cutting the wall open and replastering it — time consuming and costly… When he completed the rewire (for hundreds of dollars) the buzzer still did not work AND the doorbell, intercom and video system stopped working. Understandably, my landlord expected him to correct this costly damage. After 2 months and numerous hours of my life being available for him to have access to my apartment to attempt to fix it he gave up. Yes, he said, «sorry it is just no longer working. It is old and needs to be replaced. We can simply put in a wireless doorbell» Very frustrated that the building might not have an intercom, buzzer or video anymore with this solution I got approval from my landlord for me to call other companies for a different opinions. I called –7– different companies. Yes, 7. They all came by, trouble shot and determined the system is faulty and old, something just doesn’t makes sense why it isn’t working and the only solution is it needs to be replaced — for $ 1,500 as the best quote. Calvin from Cali Communications offered to attempt to fix it. Considering the crazy quotes I decided to give it a try. They fixed it in half an hour — 30 minutes!!! AMAZING! With years and years of experience of well known companies looking at it confused he was able to see the problem and fix it in less than an hour. Turns out the seasoned and skilled electrician my landlord originally hired had wired it incorrectly inside ethernet cables (the mini wires were not in the same order and so they weren’t connecting properly when you plugged them together). It just took Calvins keen eyesight and his thought to look for that. Absolutely the best $ 125 I have ever spent! Thank you so much for your skill and prompt service. If anything goes wrong with my building’s electric I will be sure to give these guys a call again! The BEST!

We’ve been trying to upgrade our internet access for a few months, and could not find an electrician that understood our needs. We finally found Cali Communications and we are delighted with their work. We now have a fast internet network for our home & adjoining apartment. Yeah! Thank you Calvin & Andre.

Calvin and his associate came out to work on an ancient intercom system. They responded to the call almost immediately and were able to repair the system, even after several other companies said it was impossible. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable and efficient. I highly recommend Cali Communications and will definitely be using this company again if we ever have another issue!

Calvin and his guys are awesome. They show up on time, work hard and get the job done quickly. I had them terminate some cat5 wiring and then they cane back to move the wiring from one side of family room to the other. Calvin offered me two solutions and laid out pros and cons of both. I chose the raceway and my husband didn’t even notice! I’d use him again in a heartbeat!

Cali Comm fixed the telephone and internet wiring in our office. We had to move our copier fax machine and they assisted with that too. Very quick and professional service. Team is highly knowledgeable, would def recommend. Calvin is the man!

I just have to give Calvin and his team at least 5 stars !
After our (great) building owners tried several types of patching repairs,
finally, let Calvin do it right !
He is always early and will to wait in his van
until it’s time for our appointment. Super Smart Calvin and another
other smart guy, Replaced all 7 apartments worn out intercom system in a few
short hours.
Very impressed with Calvin, his 8 years experience and his and his company’s
professionalism.
They are our go to guys forever … Thanks, Calvin!

I recently assisted a neighbor to improve her WIFI coverage in her Victorian, replete with lots of «unfriendly to wireless» lathe and plaster. After determining that she needed a wired backbone running between her router and two access points, we interviewed some local wiring vendors and decided on Cali-​Communications due to the great reviews here and a reasonable quote. Calvin and his associate did an excellent job, finishing quickly and neatly which resulted in a very professional installation. In addition, he is friendly and dedicated to building his business by being a straight shooter and doing a great job. Highly recommended!

Efficient, knowledgeable, professional, reasonable! These 4 words describe them best! It doesn’t get better than that. After talking to two other companies we chose Cali. Go no further! Call them!

Fixed all the cat5 jacks in my house in 30 minutes. and on July 4^th. these guys are awesome!

Calvin did a great job. We have a really old intercom system at our San Francisco job that we were remodeling. Calvin and his crew came in and fixed it in a matter of 15 minutes at very little cost. Thank you Calvin we really appreciate the work I would definitely call you back for any the other jobs that I would have in the future.

Wow, I was so happy with Cali Communications and Wiring. They were intelligent, kind, fun, on time, thorough, professional and on target. They let me know the results of their research, give me an estimate of what needed to be done, fixed what they said and created new ideas to address my challenges. Amazing! I am honored to refer them to you! Dana

Calvin was terrific. He installed a cable for our internet connection in our condominium building that Comcast refused to install due to the amount of work involved. He was flexible on scheduling the appointment, arrived right on time, quickly did the work exactly to specifications, was willing to work over the weekend, and billed a reasonable amount for the project. He’s also a very nice guy. I’d use him again for any of my wiring needs. Highly recommended.

We have an older door intercom system that was not working for some time. We had an electrician look at it and a locke company. They did not know what the problem was, and quickly suggested that we upgrade to a modern system. Calvin had done work for us a few years ago for some wiring and cable needs so we called. He came out the same day, quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem. It was refreshing that he looked to repair/​resolve rather than discuss how old the system is.
The price was reasonable and he is very professional. I recommend him to my family members which is significant and demonstrates how impressed I am with him. I highly recommend Cali Communications and Wiring and will use them for future needs.

Calvin and his team are great! Found them on Unilocal,called him earlier in the week and explained what I needed. He came out to the home in the East Bay later that day and did a walk through. They were in uniforms and professional. They provided great suggestions on how I should have the system installed. A few days later he sent over a estimate based on 16 hours of work. Being on a budget, I designed a new approach of how I wanted the system installed and expressed this to Calvin. Calvin was open to my request and installed the system in 6 hours without error. The work was high quality and looked like a 50 year vet completed it with a crew of 10.
During the installation they were diligent in making sure wires and cameras were in the right places and that any concerns I had were resolved promptly without question. His team worked well with one another and were very respectful of my house.
These young men are going places, their attention to detail, understanding of technology and high level customer service are all great attributes to a thriving business that wouldn’t hesitate to do business with again. Allot of these old timers could learn allot from these guys!
The pricing was reasonable but competitive. These guys know their worth and understand what they bring to the table when it comes to installing low voltage systems.
Good work CC&W, in the future you’ll have my business!

Calvin and crew are amazing. Calvin is very friendly, easy to deal with and provides a quality service at quite good rates for business and residential projects.
He is an expert in low voltage wiring systems including Telephone, Computer (Cat 5E, Cat 6 and Fiber Optic) Coaxial, Intercom and Door entry, Audio systems and Video Surveillance Camera systems.
They sell and install systems for all of the above.
I’ve worked with him on many projects over the last 7 years and often am amazed at how fast he can solve problems and ensure his work is clean and neat.
Obviously I do recommend Calvin. (After all he is my son and I trained him over many years :) I’m retiring and he is making much effort to keep up with current technology in these various systems. Give this bright young man a chance and I honestly do not think you will be disappointed.

Calvin replaced my elevator phone and programmed it to do the alert if someone is stuck in the elevator. Then he and his crew came back to replaced the 30 years old Nutone intercomm with new ones. He is competent, honest, and fair with his pricing. I’ll call him again if needed.

I had just had a huge alarm box removed from a closet by an experienced electrician. I thought the job was done, however, the electrician left me without a dial tone. He came back and could not figure out how to restore the dial tone and said he was sorry.
I called a person named Kent who did IT work for me awhile ago and due to his own busy schedule he advised sending over his son, Calvin, to try to resolve this problem. It took 1 minute for him to recognize the problem and I had my dial tone back. I was thrilled. Incredibly helpful & efficient.
I just learned that Calvin is involved with this new business and I felt compelled to leave him a great review as a technician. I know who to call in the future.

While remodeling a 3 level townhouse across from West of Twin Peaks in San Francisco I needed a company that «knew their stuff» to replace 30 yr old phone lines w/​new voice wiring, install inside cable television lines and Cat. 6 data terminals to several rooms on all three levels and ‘home-​run’ the lines inside the walls back to a new mid– level patch panel in the utility room.
Calvin, a tall mild-​mannered technician and his asst performed these tasks while never getting in the way of other trades i. e. plumbers, electricans and sheet rockers. Calvin neatly opened walls to run lines in the finished areas of the home.
I am so pleased as Calvin did this efficiently and without compromise.
What a surprise when Calvin accomplished this all in just three days.
Cali Communication is committed to fine work and at a very fare price.
At least give them a call to price out the work and provide you with a bid.
You won’t be disappointed.
