"SafeStreets’ alarm system is fantastic. The motion sensors, door/window contacts, and cameras work flawlessly. The home automation features are a huge plus—I can control everything from my phone. Highly recommend SafeStreets to anyone looking for reliable security."
"Assured Storm Protection recently completed the installation at my Coral Springs home of ES impact windows and doors. Entire process from meeting with Sales through final inspection went very smoothly...on schedule. Very happy that I went with this company, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in the area looking to install hurricane protection."
"Guinn & Sons provided an excellent price to replace all my windows, doors and garage door with impact resistant windows and doors. The process was simple and the staff helped by leaving the work area clean each day. The only difficult issue was that the installers did not speak English but Guinn & Sons staff was available to interpret when it was necessary and everything worked out well. I am very happy with the ECO windows and doors they installed."
"Last weekend had someone pry our side door open to our exterior garage and the ADT door sensor picked it up immediately. The alarm siren was loud and scared the person off. Someone from the response center called within 30 seconds. We’re fortunate that the security system did what it is supposed to. Feels like we made the right call going with an ADT security system."
"They replaced the windows and 3 doors in my house with impact glass and made an enclosure with an accordion. Thanks to Salvatore's advice, we are now protected for the hurricane season. 100% recommended, super professional and responsible."
"I recently had the pleasure of working with Sergio @ Calleja's for the installation of impact windows in my home, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team demonstrated exceptional diligence and meticulous attention to detail. They took the time to thoroughly assess my needs and provided personalized recommendations that exceeded my expectations. I met them through the My Safe Florida Approved Vendor List and I surveyed over 8 companies. They checked out on BBB, HomeAdvisors, and BuildTrack for open/closed permits. Throughout the installation process, they maintained clear communication and ensured that every aspect of the project was executed with precision. I was highly concerned about dust management, and they exceeded my expectations. They covered everything, and also blocked off the inside windows to minimize circulation. They also cleaned as they went with cutting/demo. The end result is not only aesthetically pleasing but also provides me with a sense of security and peace of mind. Even after the installation was complete, Sergio stayed in contact to ensure all guidelines were completed for the Grant program, and personally went to the city to close out the permit. I highly recommend Calleja's to anyone in need of impact windows or other home improvement services. Sergio and the team will take care of you!"
"Angelo was great! He arrived early, was an absolute pro installing the new front door locks and handles and even fixed a few issues that had been there for years! Definitely will recommend Broward Property Maintenance as a great experience!!"
"Kevin installed a barn door to replace a pocket door for my powder room. It turned out great. I think it really makes a statement when you walk in the front door!"
"Family Shutters owner Rene arrived at my home the next day after my initial contact to Family Shutters. Family Shutters made & installed a new accordion shutter to cover a glass block area at my house entrance in a timely manner. This new shutter secured me an A3 rating for my new Homeowners policy with AAA. I also hired Family Shutters to replace my old locks on all my accordion house shutters.Also they serviced my shutters to ensure I am ready for next hurricane season. Rene’s company workers completed my requests promptly in caring respectful manner."
Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.
A study from the University of North Carolina found that security system signs were one of the top ten deterrents for burglars when choosing a target, so they do have some effect. However, you can get into legal trouble for putting up fake signage, so it’s best only to put up signs when you have the alarms to back them up.
DIY is possible for wireless cameras, but professionals ensure optimal angles, security integration, and network stability.
False alarms happen, and they could be due to a problem you need to troubleshoot, like faulty wiring, a mistaken setting, or the system needing an update. Turn off your system by disconnecting its power supply (both the battery and transformer) and give the manufacturer a call to see what they advise.
Each has its use, depending on the scenario. Security doors are primarily intended to keep people out of the home, while storm doors are used to protect the home from extreme weather. Both tend to be made from heavy-duty metal and may include glass panels to allow light to enter the home. Storm doors can feature mesh screens, just like screen doors, to allow for increased ventilation and to keep out pests. Security doors rarely, if ever, have mesh screens.
