Success Story One

Our very first client at Sawyers Controls is still a client today!

Sawyers Controls had its first client, even before we had started the company.

It all began with Tom and his first truck, and a client’s interest in cutting edge technology.

His family was moving into their new home, and he wanted to apply technology throughout his home.

Sawyers Controls created a “Smart Home” for them long before it became the buzz word and standard it is today!

Sawyers automated the thermostats, the lights in the house, driveway alerts, as well as full perimeter security and fire protection for his growing family.

In the late 1980’s, his original home was featured in early news articles on home automation. A follow-up article about home automation was written 25 years later about how technology fares as it ages. Because of the original, thoughtful design and innovation, the system was still performing as it was intended to do!

As the relationship grew, the client brought Sawyers Controls into his manufacturing plants to provide the same type of innovation to his commercial facilities. Updated versions of our systems are still running his manufacturing plants to this day.

After working on his home and in his manufacturing plants, Sawyers Controls then installed systems for his mother’s house, his sister’s house, and some of his employee’s homes. A testament to the relationship and the quality work that was provided.

As the kids have grown up and become part of their family business, Sawyers Controls has also provided security to give peace of mind to his children, their homes, and his grandchildren! Generational.

Success Story Two

“When I find a good contractor, I like to keep working with them again and again.”

30 years ago, a client of Sawyers Controls was building a weekend mountain retreat. It was a place he and his family could go to relax and enjoy on holidays and during the summer.

He wanted a home automation system back in the early years of smart homes. Sawyers Controls automated the home’s thermostats, fire and security protection, lighting controls, as well as music in the house and for the pool area.

The client and Sawyers Controls fostered their relationship, which led to working on a CCTV camera system for the client’s Mid-Atlantic grocery store over 20 years ago. This store led to a second grocery store, that led to other retail stores he owns. Sawyers Controls still maintains security and fire systems as well as camera systems in all those locations.

For the grocery stores, Sawyers Controls installed facial recognition cameras, they installed special cameras that integrate with their self-check-out registers, and video surveillance that helps with slip and falls, parking lot fender benders as well as deterring crime.

Consistently providing superior results, Sawyers Controls was brought into the client’s place of worship to upgrade their security system, camera system, and networking systems for that facility. A home, a business, a place of worship – each location customized to fit their specific needs. All systems were designed to evolve with the changing technology as needs and applications have changed throughout the years.

Recently in a meeting about moving into a new main residence, the client recently shared with Tom, “when I find a good contractor, I like to keep working with them again and again.”

At Sawyers Controls, we never lose sight of the importance of taking care of our clients every day so we can work together again and again.

Success Story Three

The importance of “always do right”

Sawyers Controls often partners with builders to design and implement a whole array of solutions for our residential clients.

One memorable story involved a builder who reached out to Sawyers Controls after a tree had fallen on a client’s house, setting off the house fire alarm as a storm was raging. The alarm company wouldn’t come out to work on the alarm that day, nor any day. They told her, “the power has been shut off to her house so why should they fix anything?”

However, the client wanted it fixed because it was still going off. Even though she wasn’t going to be able to live there for a while as repairs were made, she wanted it to work properly.

The builder contacted Sawyers Controls, and we took care of her alarm. We helped repair the storm damage to the system and made sure everything was in good working order.

This collaboration led us working to with the builder not only on her home but also on her son’s home, her best friend’s home, her best friend’s daughter’s home, and her neighbor’s homes. We were hired to maintain the alarm system at her husband’s dentist business as well as her son’s law practice. The relationship with the builder led to numerous new home construction projects that opened the door to even more opportunities.

We understand the importance of “always do right”, particularly in a stressful situation.
