Description of Work: This was just a consultation to see if my system could be transferred. I was looking at switching to this company, and the gentleman that came was the owner and was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He tried to access my current system, but was unable to the code he had not allowing him access. He said I would have to call my provider to supply me with the code or in the worst scenario I would have to get a new system which he would provide. I am currently looking into this because of the great savings and local monitoring this would provide. He was extremely helpful in answering my questions and I look forward to using them in the near future.

It did not go at all. Safe and sound responded only after repeated phone calls. this was especially irritating because safe & sound had pre-wired th ealarm, stereo and smart home system. Can not recommend. Would only recommend that you avoid this contractor.
Description of Work: Customer no service was provided. Responded with a quote for service which was much higher than competitors after 4 weeks. Safe and sound had pre-wired the house for alarm, stereo and smart home system.

I was in Florida and got a call from the alarm company that I had a low battery, but I couldn't do anything for it until I got back. I called them when I got back. The service tech said it wasn't actually a low battery, it was probably an error with the monitoring company. Anyway, they took full responsibility for it and instead of charging me the normal rate of $65, I only had to pay $25. They still changed the battery, just didn't charge full price.
Description of Work: They changed the battery in the alarm code box. They checked the keypad and told me I didn't really have a problem with my system.

They called me when they were on their way, they let me know they were running a bit late. They were excellent and I would recommend them to others. They do not require a contract and the owner stated that I will be so happy with them I will not want to leave them as a provider. Extremely knowledgeable!!
Description of Work: I had a problem with my security system. They came out and found the problem right away and changed me over to their monitoring system, absolutely free of charge.

I didn't want a monitored alarm system. Being new to the area I just started calling alarm companies. Most of them wouldn't even return my calls and the ones that did wanted 2 or 3 year monitoring contracts. Rex, from Safe and Sound called me right away and I had a wireless unmonitored system installed within 3 days. I wasn't particularly happy with the type of alarm panel. Not their fault, my personal preferences. They were back within 2 days replaced the panel with one I like and also did some additional work. Thank You Rex, Scott and Bonnie. You have my recommendations....and I am picky. Fred.
Description of Work: Installed a wireless alarm system.

I was so impressed by the customer service over the phone. They could have easily said "sorry, this is not our problem". They took the time to understand what I needed and were willing to help me. Needless to say I will recommend this local company to others.
Description of Work: We lost a magnet window sensor when painters came. I called another company and they would not provide service because we were a "non monitored" system. I called Safe and Sound and explained my issue. Even though they knew that the system wasn't their own, they knew what part I needed. I offered to pay them and they said they would ship it to me at no charge. I got the part a few days later and the alarm system is working just fine.

THEY CHARGED $300 TO PRE-WIRE THE LIVING ROOM ON MY NEW HOUSE. APPARENTLY PRE-WIRING DOES NOT INCLUDE ACTUALLY PULLING THE WIRES OUT OF THE WALLS AND INSTALLING PLATES. AND SINCE THEY NEVER BOTHERED TO ASK WHERE I WANTED TO PLACE THE SPEAKERS, IT IS MY FAULT IF I DON'T WANT THE SATELLITE SPEAKERS TO CROWD THE CENTER CHANNEL. GOD FORBID YOU ACTUALLY WANT THEM TO MOUNT SPEAKERS. FOR THAT IT WOULD BE AN ADDITIONAL $425. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND AVOID THESE PEOPLE LIKE THE PLAGUE.
Description of Work: PRE-WIRED FOR SURROUND SOUND.

THEY DID A GREAT JOB, AND HE GAVE ME OPTIONS AT DIFFERENT PRICE POINTS. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE ALARM SYSTEM AND AM VERY SATISFIED.
Description of Work: THEY INSTALLED A NEW ALARM SYSTEM IN MY HOME. I HAVE AN OLDER HOME, AND A WIRED SYSTEM WASN'T PRACTICAL. IT WAS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN I WOULD HAVE LIKED, BUT THE NATIONAL COMPANIES' SPECIALS DON'T INCLUDE WIRELESS.

THEY NEVER GAVE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO USE THE ALARM SYSTEM, THE HOME STEREO SYSTEM WAS POWERED TO AN OUTLET THAT USED ANOTHER LIGHT SWITCH AND IT TOOK US A MONTH TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE STEREO WOULD GO ON AND OFF BY ITSELF. THE VOICE MAIL SYSTEM TOOK MONTHS TO INSTALL AND PROGRAM AND IT IS NOT DONE YET. THEY DON''T ANSWER CALLS FOR WEEKS. AND THEY LEFT WITH WORK UNFINISHED AND HAVEN''T RETURNED.
Description of Work: INSTALL HOME ALARM, TELEPHONE VOICE MAIL, HOME SOUND SYSTEM, FIRED BEFORE HOME THEATER INSTALLED
