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

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

Yes, evaluating needs based on home size, layout, and climate.

When deciding whether a home automation system is right for you, consider the advantages and disadvantages first.

Pros

  • Home automation can help make your home more energy efficient, possibly lowering utility bills.

  • A wide range of automated solutions is available to meet your needs.

  • Centralized and remote control of different home automation systems.

Cons

  • Home automation can be costly.

  • Not all automated systems are compatible with each other.

  • Over-dependence on home automation can be problematic if systems cannot connect to the cloud.

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. 

Expect to spend an average of $150 to $500 to set up a home flood detection system. However, be aware that costs are wide-ranging. You might only spend a budget-friendly $50 to place basic, battery-operated sensors in a few key areas of your home, or $150 to set up two or three smart sensors. The purchase and professional installation of a whole-home protection system with water shutoff capabilities could cost between $500 and $1,000.
