Nice man and punctual. He was able to repair furnace when other repairman had said that it wasn't repairable and that he would sell us a new one. I highly recommend this guy.

I took the care to Pacific Auto Repair and they wanted $368 for a replacement window seal. Then I took it to Marshall's from a referral. He went to the junk yard, found a seal in excellent working order and fixed my door seal. It works perfectly. Very honest, reliable work. <br />

The cleaners removed the window screen but while cleaning them, they destroyed my windows screen.

I have very high windows and the cleaners left behind water marks all over, did not look very good.

"Pretty good deal for $100 up front. The 5 included sensors cover my doors/sliders. We were disappointed that the mobile app functionality isn't included with the base monitoring plan after the first month. And my bathroom door sensor only works half the time. They told us that the dog (a little mini-poodle) wouldn't set off the motion sensor but she does - so we don't ever use it which leaves us exposed if someone comes in thru a window. But for basic coverage at $35 a month its not a bad deal. I like that its cellular (no land line needed) and self-installation was easy with their excellent phone app. I may upgrade the system at some point with window sensors, glass break sensor, front door camera."
