I wasn't sure what to expect. Guardian Protection Services had locked out the new equipment that I had purchased from them in October 2013 by coding,. I fully expected Jeff Alexander, the Allstar owner, to tell me I would need to replace all of the new equipment. Now I had just spent $4000+ in buying new equipment, cameras etc from Guardian Protection Services and had paid a penalty for an early contract termination. I knew right away that Allstar was going to be different. Jeff showed up on time to do the system review, he looked at the system and he told me he thought he could get the system back in service, he could figure out the coding, it would cost me 2 hours of labor $180 and 2 months of up-front monitoring charges, no contract. I could reuse all of my new equipment and cameras. Now this was after 3 other security supply companies told me that I would need to replace all of the new equipment. So I was a skeptic, but Jeff was so confident that I gave him the opportunity. I was still a skeptic though. Anything to good to be true normally is. Jeff took the time to call me the morning of the installation to let me know his installer, Danny Perez, was on his way. I told him he was already at my house. Danny worked tirelessly and professionally to return the system to service. Allstar did exactly what they said they could do. I can use all of the new equipment that I previously purchased including the cameras. Again Jeff followed up the next day after the system was returned to service to make sure we got what we needed. In my experience, when the owner is heavily involved in the business, a restaurant, a repair shop, etc. the business will be well run and credible. I would HIGHLY recommend Allstar for security services. They do what they say they will do, they follow up extremely well, they stay with a problem until it's right, they aren't afraid of hard work, they price their services fairly---what else could you want? Thanks to the Allstar Security, Inc. team. Hats off!!!

I have yet to receive the check even though they deducted the full amount from my bank account the day we signed the contract. I have called several times and have never once gotten a call back. I also don't know what I'm supposed to pay monthly yet since we didn't install all the equipment. I haven't heard boo from them. So the responsiveness from customer service has been very poor. I expect we will wind up in small claims court or something similar. | |Security Equipment: I would say an A. It's very good equipment and easy to use. | |Security Installers: I would give the installers an A, particularly Roger. They were punctual, professional, were respectful of property etc. | |I think the quality of the equipment and the installers is excellent. | |I think the home office is very responsive when they take your money, no so much when they owe you money. Again I don't know even how much I will pay now or if they plan to send a bill. I haven't heard from Guardian since the installation. | |So until its resolved not want to say I want recommend them or continue to use them. Rated a C because I couldn't submit otherwise. | |Thanks for asking. | |Regards, | |Larry Norton | | | |
I did finally get several calls and a couple of e-mails from the sales person who originally sold me the security system. He agreed that they owed me the money, and agreed to return it, if I would sign more paperwork. So to get my own money back they want me to sign more paperwork. After about another month, I decided that Guardian Protection Services wasn't a trust worthy organization. Certainly not an organization that I could trust to protect my family and home. They didn't deal in "good faith"; they make d*** sure they get your money, in fact, the sales person reads the bank routing number and account number to there credit department over the phone while you're sitting there, your money is withdrawn from your account the next day. If they have your money, it may be 6 months or never---that's a fact.
With Guardian Protection Services, you sign a 3 year contract which isn't unusual. The contract has a $750 penalty for an early termination. I e-mailed the sales person and told him to just keep the money they owed me and use it to pay off the early termination fee and to close out my account.
Ultimately, you essentially lose the entire equipment value for the system because all of the wireless equipment is coded and they have the codes which prevents another supplier from reusing the same equipment. So unless you have the coding you start over, about $4000 in this instance. I was aware of the penalty when I decided to terminate the contract early, but when you don't trust someone to protect something as important as your family and a $1 million plus home the money isn't important.
I actually don't blame Guardian Protection Services, I blame myself. I didn't do my usual due diligence on the company before hand. I have found that there are a number of reputable home security organizations in Austin. In fact, there are enough reputable home security suppliers in Austin that you don't need to take a chance with Guardian protection Services. But if you are compelled to do so, I have some new equipment you can have.
One of the reasons I selected Guardian Protection Services was because it was "A-rated on Angie's list." It's trumpeted right on their website. So I must be the one bad egg and everyone else rated Guardian Protection Services an A+++. I used to manage 15 paper mills, 5 sheeting operations, with over 20,000 employees and I don't ever recall one F and everyone else A's on any endeavor.
Guardian Protection Services is a sales organization (a poor one at that), not a home security organization----it's abundantly clear in their behaviors.

Playground Equipment Service reviews from real Angi homeowners in The Hills, TX
Poor service, relatively high pricing. Consistently failed to maintain pool and then would blame the equipment and ask to pay hundreds of dollars to fix it, only for it to be working entirely fine. When I called to cancel service, they refused to let me.

House had previous systems in house before we purchased. Granite had to work around older equipment, took a couple of tries but they got it done!

FAQs for playground equipment service projects in The Hills, TX
The average cost of playground equipment installation is around $500, and most homeowners pay between $330 and $700, excluding the cost of the playground equipment itself. Your total project cost will depend on site preparation requirements, playset size, design complexity, number of accessories, and the swing set materials. Don’t forget to account for the cost of playground surfacing, which can cost between $15 to $160 per cubic yard or $225 per cubic yard for poured rubber.
It may be tempting to DIY the construction of a swing set to save money, but we don’t recommend it. Since children will use the swing set, the entire system must be solid and safe, meaning the cost savings aren’t worth potentially endangering them. Plus, most DIYers will have to build their swing sets out of wood, which won’t last as long as metal or vinyl and introduces the risk of splinters. Instead, hire a local playground equipment installer to ensure the swing set is built safely and efficiently, setting up your kids for fun for years to come.
Rubber mulch is widely considered the best material to place under a playset. This material option provides more cushioning than traditional wood mulch for added protection, remains cooler than sand and most other materials in direct sunlight, and it’s low maintenance. Rubber mulch is slightly more expensive than other common options at $120 per cubic yard on average, whereas pine bark mulch is $30 per cubic yard. But when it comes to your children’s safety, the investment is worthwhile. Consult your playground equipment installation company about material recommendations before starting this project.
Whether or not you need a permit to install a playground depends on where you live, as some cities require it and others don’t. You can contact your local building department to find the answer or ask your playground equipment installer if you need a permit. Reputable playground equipment companies will know the laws in your area and can help you apply for the permit and coordinate inspections. Building permits cost$250 to $2,000 for outdoor projects.
In most cases, your professional playground installer will put down a playground surface before assembling the fun-filled system. However, you should ask your installer about this service before booking an installment date. Most playground equipment installation companies offer service add-ons like leveling the area, laying down a surface, building a border to keep the surface material contained, and setting up the swing set.
