My father and I have been going to Matson Alarm for over a decade to install alarms and cameras in our homes and his businesses. We have not been disappointed. Matson Alarm recently installed a set of cameras outside my home. Within a month's time frame, one of them had captured a hit-and-run. The cameras are excellent quality, and the price was reasonable, especially considering that they're in HD and running 24 hours. What I appreciated most about Matson Alarm was their contract terms. A lot of companies will have you give you up your right to court and place tons of unconscionable or harsh terms within the contract. Instead, I thought that theirs was pretty fair. They also kept their promise (unlike some contractors) to give me a warranty (and even amended the warranty on paper to 3 years when the salesman had said so but had forgotten to write it down). They have come out to my home 2-3 times without charge to fix issues, including teaching me how to handle the phone or computer apps for my cameras. I'm pleased with their services.
Description of Work: Cameras installed outside home.

Description of Work: Matson installed an alarm in my son's rental house. They did a great job! There were a few glitches, but they came right out and fixed them immediately the next day. From previous experience with home alarm systems, I believe the glitches are not unexpected so I was not concerned and I was pleased with how quickly they took care of the issues!

On 2/13/14, a representative from Matson Alarm came to my house to give me an estimate on installing an alarm on my roll-up garage door and replacing my motion detector inside my residence. He gave me a written estimate and advised me that someone would contact me within a couple of days to set up an appointment to do the instillation. After waiting several days with no contact from Matson, I called the reps voice mail and left a message asking him to contact me. This was on 4/19/14. I still have not heard from anyone from Matson.
Description of Work: We were looking to have an alarm installed on our roll-up garage door due to a recent burglary/attempted vehicle theft.
