I would give ZERO stars if I could. This company is a joke and they literally do not care about customer service, doing the job right the first time or getting issues resolved in a timely manner. Brand-new property in Midtown and we have called with issues almost weekly with fire alarms, gates, cameras - you name it - if they installed it, it either does not work properly or breaks within a few weeks of the installation and then continues to break.

I've communicated with multiple people at this company - Art, Ube, Bill Waters, Bill Harmel, Dan (who has since either quit or retired) and multiple other techs too many to name and there is no sense of urgency and a complete lack of concern for their customer. I will be willing to change this review if I can actually get a response and see a change in their customer service attitude. We'll see.

Good company to gain experience other than that look somewhere else. Cheap company doesn't fill full promises, and very unprofessional every boss will cuss you out.

Scheduling can sometimes be backed up, but they always send great technicians that get the job done. Friendly and informative.

We had two service calls. Both times they lied about time spent on property. Sure, they credited me back after I complained but do you really want to do business with people like this? How does 20 minutes turn into 90? They also don't return calls. Looking for a new company.

Worst company I've ever dealt with. The employees are worthless. They dont return phone calls. Send invoices that are a complete lie. It's been since February we had our fire inspection and it's still not complete. Worst company in houston tx.
