Client Testimonials

“Great company. They’ve done work for our church multiple times now and they’ve done a great job every time. The quote was competitive and the work was excellent. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.”

David Luttrull

Indiana Christian Academy, Grace Baptist Church

If anyone is ever looking for a contractor for audio/video projects, this is the place to go.  The quality of their installation work is some of the best I have seen being in this business. When it came time for turnover, there were next to no wiring mistakes / bad connections. As with any project of this size, SPL was delayed time after time by General Contractor delays. Pinnacle always came through when the going got tough. They would work 18 hour days to keep systems on schedule. I cannot say enough good things about Pinnacle Systems.

Steve Gibbons

Senior Project Engineer, SPL Integrated Solutions

We needed a camera system for our new building.  Pinnacle Systems came in gave us a quote and got everything installed professionally. Even a year after installation they still help us when we have questions. This is a family run company you can trust.
