My wife and I actually discovered Exodus on Angie's List and after doing some research we decided to go with them due to the many positive reviews. It not a surprise, however, to see that they have recently endured some very poor reviews. We concur with the other negative reviews. It seems Exodus has an MO of just letting things fall through the cracks and then offering up poor excuses as to why. They seem to state 'well, with so many jobs, one is bound to fall through the cracks' and offer no solution. Ultimately, they just go MIA and it takes weeks to get answers. What ethics! Initially the interaction started smoothly. After contacting Exodus, Scott Larcomb swiftly came to our house to discuss our needs and promptly emailed us an estimate. While Scott was at our place my wife and I kind of felt like his sales pitch was a bit sterile and typical. Scott is a really nice guy but we couldnt help but get the vibe that we were just another job for Exodus. No real guidance or proper customer service. I guess we were just expecting him to share some options, etc.. But instead we got a book and some pictures of nice doors. We received a bid about 2 days after the meeting and we felt that the price was a little steep. I called Scott to talk to him about it and he willingly cut the budget a bit. However, we were still skeptical about the high cost of purchasing and installing 8 doors. My brother is an architect in NY and he thought I was nuts to pay such a high price. Essentially, we decided to go with them mostly due to the warranty policy (which we will get to later in the review). We also had Exodus paint the doors as well. Almost all of them were split colors on either side. We were charged a premium for that service. The process of ordering the doors, painting them and receiving the locks and hardware took forever. We understood that it was going to take a while (it took a minute for us to establish all the colors) but the communication was a nightmare. Every step of the way my wife and I just felt nothing but apathy coming from them. Although the workers were very nice and professional, and the doors looked great, there were snafus throughout the entire installation process. Three of the doors weren't split painted, the wrong screen door was ordered for the front of the house, and the back security doors were the cheapest pieces of crap we had ever seen - you could've cut through them with a butter knife! After they installed one of the back security doors we politely asked them to take it down (we ordered real security doors from another company). After the installation and the corrections were handled (aside from the from front door lock), we were pretty happy with the final result. Upon careful inspection, however, my wife and I discovered that the front door jam wasn't replaced. I thought it was ridiculous that we had two new beautiful doors in the front of our house but the door jam was 40 years old. I called Scott to ask him about it and he said door jams are an extra expense. I was furious. How the h*** am I supposed to know a new door jam isn't included? I wouldnt have had a problem putting money towards a new door jam if he wouldve brought it to my attention when he was at the house providing a bid. This concluded my notion that Scott was NOT thorough at our first meeting. In essence, he wanted to charge us over $750 to replace the jam. We are going with another company called CCC to do it for $460. Scott was not always accessible to us. He relied on his 2nd in command, Rick, to do most of the trouble shooting. Scott dropped by to check on everything on the second day and we were very happy that Scott came by but he was literally there for 15-20 minutes then split. We never saw him again. Ultimately, when I spoke to Scott about how unhappy we were with the service he responded by saying "There were a lot of moving parts with this job. Things are going to go wrong". Sorry, but that's not what we were paying for. We expect excellence and proper customer service. We felt we received neither. About two months after the project was complete we discovered that the front door lock was faulty. My wife and I coudn't lock the door knob without two hands and sometimes using pliers. It was definitely dysfunctional. As a matter of fact, right after the lock was installed on day 2 I felt as if the mechanism was broken. I brought it up to all of the workers including Rick and he convinced me that it was my imagination and the lock was working perfectly. Yeah right? I contacted Scott about the problem on November 4 2014. (Like I was saying earlier, one of the main reasons why I went with Exodus was the warranty policy.) I justified paying the high price of the job with the notion of not having to worry about something if it goes wrong. After constantly trying to contact everyone over at the company, Rick finally got back to me on Dec 5th. He told me the replacement lock would be in within days. On January 26th the lock finally came in (7 weeks later). When the serviceman came to install the new lock he discovered someone ordered the wrong part. Really? I was informed the replacement would be arriving in a week. Ha! Its been a month since that last visit and at this point NO ONE is returning my emails. They have never returned to fix the lock. THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!! I sent Rick and Scott emails on Jan 19th and Feb 12th... NO RESPONSE! Ultimately, I've decided to buy a brand new lock and eat the cost of the lock I purchased through Exodus. I have completely concluded my business with Exodus.. Yeah, I feel like we got ripped off??. Fair warning. Go elsewhere!

FAQs for security door installation projects in Valley Village, CA
The average cost of a home security system is about $700, ranging from $280 to $1,150. Costs to consider include equipment, surveillance fees, and other additional features. Cost factors that determine your system’s price include the type of security system, materials, labor, activation fees, monthly fees, and permits.
Additional features and upgrades may include:
Video surveillance monitoring: $40–$65 per month
Smart home locks: $150
Smart home lighting: $15–$90
Smart smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide alarms: $35–$100
Smart thermostat: $130–$500
Door installation usually takes three and four hours, including removing the old door and frame, fitting the new door and frame in place, shimming it to make sure it’s perfectly level, and making adjustments to the hinges and locking mechanisms to ensure proper functionality. A door-hanging professional can replace an interior door in between one and two hours. Door installation will take significantly longer if your installer needs to create a wall opening, and it can take less time if the existing door frame remains.
The average cost to install a door is around $1,100, but you could pay anywhere from $150 for a hollow-core interior door installation up to $2,000 or a high-end exterior door installation. There are a few cost factors to consider to get an accurate price, including whether your wall opening exists, the type of door, the quality and security of the door, whether you need to replace the frame, and the door size. You can expect to pay $150 to $700 for a standard 36-by-80-inch door and between $400 and $1,600 for an80-by-48-inch door.
Yes, a home security system can be worth it for your peace of mind alone, but it can also save you up to 20% on your home insurance. The insurance savings will help defray the initial setup costs and subscription costs over time. Locations with higher crime rates also make home security systems a valuable investment, but it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and asset values.
It’s possible to install a door yourself if the wall opening already exists, but the work is rather complicated, and a professional installation is usually well worth the investment. For your door to work and close properly, you’ll need to shim and level the door frame in your wall perfectly, which can be difficult. Additionally, we recommend you always hire a professional door installer to place an exterior door, as mistakes during the installation process can lead to poor security for your home.
