"SafeStreets Home Security was a lifesaver! They had to troubleshoot my 3 floor townhouse unit, requiring many trips up and down the stairs. Finally determined that I needed an entire new alarm system but had all the parts and equipment available. Helped me program the app and set my security codes."
"ADT’s system is fantastic! The security features are top-of-the-line, and the home automation integration is so convenient. I love being able to control everything from my phone. The customer service team is also very helpful. 10/10!"
"My wife and I recently purchased an Older Home in the Nob Hill Region of Albuquerque. The house had previously been hardwired and serviced by a larger national security company. Given prior negative experiences at other properties with these larger companies and binding contracts, etc., I wanted to go with a local business for my security needs. I can verify without any reservation that I couldnâ t be happier with the service I received from Brandon and his crew at SW security. Give them a call, I know you will be too. I originally found SW security on Angi, And then looked into the BBB To verify the quality of their work. I was very pleased to see that they have an A+ rating which they are very deserving of. After meeting with several contractors from different companies, it was pretty clear from the beginning that Brandon, the owner at SW security stands out from the rest. He was personable, engaging, took time to answer all of my questions and was very knowledgeable in regards to what I would need to best secure my house. I canâ t make that same statement about the other local businesses I met with. At no time did I feel like I was being sold a â one size fits all systemâ or pressured into anything I didn't want. I will note that I was not interested in getting the cheapest or â best dealâ on my system. I don't believe that cutting corners is something to do with your personal security. My wife and I had fumbled through several DIY security systems currently available and after much disappointment, wanted something much more robust. I can say that with the installation now done for the better part of a month, we have achieved that standard and much more. I can now monitor my security system remotely while at work, and arm or disarm the system from my smartphone. This may seem like a small detail, but the piece of mind, knowing I can be gone for 8-12 hours while my family and possessions are protected is worth its weight in gold. His installation team, consisting of technologists Austin and Seth, was not only efficient and effective, but also highly professional. They took care to place alarms and sensors in discreet locations where they would not only be effective, but also aesthetically pleasing. The two of them were very polite and took all of my placement concerns into consideration. The team needed to come back on a separate day to complete the job since I wanted my wood doors drilled for more discreet appearing sensors. They were more than accommodating in this regard and worked around my schedule to come by and finish the job. They set up temporary sensors on my doors for a day or two to make sure that the house was secured until they could completely finish the job. Afterwards, they used a shop vac and cleaning up wood shavings to give a very nice clean work space. Overall, you should do yourself a favor and Call SW security for a consultation on your security needs. I couldnâ t be happier that I did. I can sleep at night knowing my house and family is safe from intruders. I will certainly be using the companyâ s service for years to come,"
"They were very knowledgeable and professional and respectful. I was very happy with my new system. I would hire them again and definitely refer them to anyone."
"Randy, has been handling my alarm systems on all the houses I’ve owned over 30 years now and he’s always does a professional job on the installs. The monitoring people are great and professional as well. Keep up the great work Modern Security."
