We enjoyed working with Dale from Dreamweaver. He is very good with first time home buyers as he explains all issues in detail and in terms we understood. He appeared to be very thorough. He provides a typed report and was very responsive with any questions we had. I would recommend him.
I have a contact with them for yearly and home maintenance. They are very good. It is a yearly contract, so, I am just paying a year.

Steve came out and discussed the various options for us since we live in a post-and-beam style home. The two installers were excellent, did quality work, and explained the unit's operation to me before they left. I'd use them again for my HVAC work.

"The installation went quickly and easily for us, and the level 2 charger is just where we need it.

Home Security Systems questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
Technically, there isn't a difference between safe rooms and storm shelters. Both are designed to protect you from storms and extreme weather events. People often use “safe room” when discussing a shelter inside a building and storm shelter when talking about a detached unit.
Additionally, a safe room is understood to have more functions than a storm shelter. You may seek shelter in a safe room when you believe an intruder is in the home or when under another type of threat.
It depends on the type of sensor your home security system uses. If it’s a motion detector, any moving thing could set it off, from a roaming pet to a wind-blown curtain. Contact sensors would be triggered by the window being opened or moved. Also, be aware that any sensors placed too close to your vents could trigger false alarms whenever your heat or air conditioning is running.
The cost of a home security system depends on the kinds of devices you install, but the average cost is about $750. Fully monitored systems with hardwired alarms, cameras, motion detectors, and lights will cost a lot more—up to $2,000. Meanwhile, a few wireless cameras that deliver video to an app will be significantly less expensive, starting at as little as $200.
