It took over 12 minutes to schedule an appointment -- the scheduler did not seem to be very organized, and I had to wait for over a week! On top of that, I was overcharged for the time actually spent at my home.

Very good communication with multiple members of the provider's team from initial contact, through scheduling and service. Very responsive and a very good technician for the actual onsite work.

Our alarm was installed by a different company, so I can't evaluate them on that. Thankfully, the only experience I have had with Sentry Security so far is with false alarms. When I call in a false alarm, they always answer the phone promptly and are very courteous.

After our home alarm was damaged during a storm, the previous alarm monitoring company we used was difficult to work with so I consulted Angie's List.  After reading the good reviews of Sentry, I called and they were quick to respond, pleasant to work with and competitvely priced.  Two years, and I am still doing business with them.

They did a terrific job with the estimate and their customer service is excellent.  Very responsive.  After using ADP for many years, the personal service has been very nice.

It went very well.  I put it in because of a robbery and I should have  waited until I wasn't so emotional.  I didn't pay attention to the legal bindings.  They are fair I am sure, it is only my needs and ability to pay that has changed.

Overall, this went pretty well.  Ken estimated and trained us on the new security system.  He was a realist and provided recommendation on what to install (and what not to install) - we appreciate him working with us to find a cost effective solution to give us some piece of mind at home.  The system worked extremely well and had very few false alarms.

Because our system was so old the newer remote was not compatible. Arnie, senior service technician, searched ebay for an older model. Andy, warehouse foreman, scoured the shelves for something that would work. Carla, office manager, stayed in touch with respect to what was being done to help us. Between the 3 of them, they came up with a remote control that worked. No other company would have gone to such great lengths to find something that was not readily available. Their service was beyond my expectations.

They are very responsive. Their service people are poliete and very competent. I'm confident when they're here that they are going to do what needs to be done and I'll continue to use them in the future.

Very responsive to initial inquiry. Provided estimate on timely basis but took some time to resolve technical issues. Installation went well (about 4 hours) and technicians were very competent, polite and cleaned up well before they left.

WE HAVE HAD A WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM FOR 5 YEARS. EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL AND MODERATELY PRICED. THEY WERE ALWAYS WILLING AND EAGER TO FIX SOMETHING THAT WE WERE UNHAPPY WITH. SHAWN THE TECHNICIAN INSTALLED OUR SYSTEM AND WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND EASY TO WORK WITH.
