We are Chicagolands premier window / door security screen company. As a family-owned and operated business with over 30 years of construction and design experience, we pride ourselves on providing quality service and installation you can rely on. A security alarm alone may not prevent an intruder from entering your home, taking what they can, and leaving long before police or neighbors can respond. Security screens provide a critical barrier of protection against burglars and vandals. Let us help put your mind at ease by installing our security screens and doors on your valued home or business. When compared to burglar bars and shutters our screens provide many added benefits: /They blend in with the surrounding windows. / A Single point latch system allows easy escape. / The windows can not be broken./ Our screens often improve the appearance of the window. Please note: we DO NOT install or service window bars or shutters

"The product is excellent and the workmanship was top notch."

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts

Homeowners insurance can be voided in several scenarios. That can include making too many claims in a short period of time, leaving a home vacant for an extended period of time, renting out a home or room illegally, using a home as a business illegally, and any kind of criminal activity connected to the home.

Whether a security system or security cameras is a better choice for you depends on your needs and preferred comfort level. A security system can cost more depending on the features you choose, but it’s a more proactive and protective approach to home security by alerting you and authorities of any emergencies. Using a security camera system is a more reactive approach because while you can monitor the camera footage, it does not alert the proper authorities for you.

A deadbolt is one of the most secure locks you can install on your front door, so it is better in terms of home security than other types of locks. While deadbolts are typically more expensive than a regular lock, they’re still quite cost-effective and provide an additional layer of security that may even deter some intruders.

Home automation costs an average of $1,000, and most projects fall between $200 and $2,000. The total cost will depend largely on the level of automation you want in your home. High-tech, all-inclusive systems can cost well over $10,000 for larger homes, so most homeowners set a budget and then provide that to an expert to get the best results. You can also opt for DIY home automation technology for between $100 and $500, but the scope and interaction between products are usually limited.

There are a number of ways to secure windows. You can add motion detectors or window sensors to detect movement and impact or change the window locks to make them stronger. Some of the ways you can secure windows are much like how you secure a home: closing the curtains at night and setting up security cameras outside so you can monitor your property even in your absence.
