How To Choose The Best Home Security Company

You can’t trust just anyone with something important as your home security. Each year, there are over 2.2 million burglaries in the US. This means that every 15 seconds, a burglary is committed. Home burglaries account for 70% of these crimes and typically spike during the summer months. That means the months your home is most in danger of being broken into are coming up soon!

You don’t have to just sit around and wait to be included in this number. You can hire a Texas home security company to ensure you, your family, your pets, and your belongings are safe. But, who? How can you possibly find a company you trust with the people and things that are most precious to you? 

This quick checklist is the best way to get started, according to home security experts:

#1 Find a company with a stellar reputation. A business is only as good as their reputation; it’s as simple as that. A company that has many bad reviews, consistently delivers poor service, and appears to always fail to deliver on their promises is not someone you want to do business with. Do not be afraid to ask for references and testimonials from past customers. This is too important to get wrong!

#2 Choose a company that is reliable. A reliable, professional bodyguard or team of security guards can mean the difference between squashing a potential security threat and an emergency. When you read reviews and testimonials, you want to look for a company who again and again is said to be reliable. After all, you are relying on them for your safety and security. Some things, like priceless jewelry or gifts, cannot be replaced if they’re stolen.

#3 Find a company known for customer service. At its core, home security is all about customer service. Make sure that the company you contract for your private security takes your business seriously and cares about your safety as much as you do. If the company never returns your call or fails to respond to an alarm going off in a timely manner, can you be sure that they will be there for you when it really counts?

#4 Go with the experts. Whether you’re getting your haircut, hiring a mechanic to fix your broken down car, or hiring a mobile security patrol, you only want to hire someone who knows exactly what they are doing. You wouldn’t hire a pet groomer to fix your kitchen sink or want to be a doctor’s first-ever operation. Experience matters!

Don’t delay! As stated above, the summer months are when your home is most likely to be broken into. Of course, you can’t just choose the first company you find. You want to get the team at Statewide Patrol hired before it’s too late. We’re sure we meet even the most strict criteria, because we are the best of the best!
