We hired Liberty Communication to cable our new office building and hang our TV's. They not only did an extremely good job but were always prompt, quick to reply to emails and extremely professional. We have used several cabling companies in the past and they by far exceeded our expectations. I would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them!

I have been working with Liberty Communications for 7 years now and I cannot say enough about the support we receive whenever we request services or are in need of support. The response time is amazing. Just today our phone system went down and within 1.5 hours of the call our phone system was up and operating again. Thank you Shane and the Liberty team for your excellent service.
