"Great service and experience, To start it's hard to find quality work and he definitely does it! I had this young man come out and give me and estimate to weld my ranch hand bumpers on my f-250 front and back. He took a look at the bumpers crawling underneath the truck to see how he could tac them on with out any issues. He then quoted me on the spot and it was a definitely a fair price. The work was amazing. So much so I even had him draw up a plan to build a bbq for my hitch and even that came out even better than I thought."

"I self installed our FrontPoint system. It went smoothly and my questions were answered efficiently and professionally by the FrontPoint staff. I would highly recommend FrontPoint as a home security system."

"Good price. Typical monitoring services. My only real issue is that most of their account servicing needs to be done via snail mail or over the phone--they do not have a website to update contact info, billing info, or other details."

"Great seamless install and awesome affordable rates for peace of mind home security."

"I found Point Security through alarm.com. I saw alarm.com commercials and wanted what they had to offer so I requested a call, and Travis was the first person to call me, in like 30 seconds after I submitted for a request. I like that right away because with an alarm company you need to know they have fast response time. He was so nice and helpful and explained everything to me, he knew what he was talking about and wasn't pushy at all. I told him I wanted to get a few other quotes and I'd let him know later. I spoke with 3-4 other companies and must have been blown away by Travis because no one compared. For the price and what I'd get, plus the quick response and friendly service made this an easy choice. I decided to look them up online and noticed the were on Angie's List, being a member I read reviews and decided to go with them. In the beginning I had quite a few problems with me AC. The day after they installed my AC went out. I freaked. They came back and what was happening was whatever was happening was over loading my system and flipping the breaker. The did something and then it happened again. I was getting really frustrated and thought I'd have to get rid of the system. They came back again, installed something to prevent that and i haven't had the problem again. I also had problems controlling the AC from my phone. They reset it and then put in another thing and it's been working great. They really know what they're doing there. And, the entire time Travis was friendly and not annoyed at all that I kept having problems. He made me feel like everything was going to be OK, and it has been! I love controlling my AC and alarm from my phone, it's awesome. i also feel at ease with the alarm. it went off one time because my fiance didn't tell me his dad went over, and he didn't know the code. Monitronics called within 30 seconds, pretty fast. Overall very happy with the service and system!"

"I responded to a flyer that I received from ADT as I had been thinking  about installing a security system for extra peace of mind as I am a single woman living alone.  It sounded like a deal that was too good to pass up.  I did not realize until I did some research later that ADT subcontracts all of their installation out to local providers so I am not sure which parts of this review should be directed at ADT vs Protect your Home...who provided the installation service but it is clear that their business practices have  common core and most of my interaction has been with Protect Your Home.  Apparently, after 3 months Protect your Home is no longer responsible for my system and after some research I am starting to wonder what will happen when ADT becomes responsible for addressing any issues with my system if there is no local service provider.
Here's an overview of my experience. It was easy to set up the appointment and the installers arrived right on time.  I want to state that my low grade has nothing to do with my overall experience with the installers who came out and installed my system.  They were friendly and courteous and very professional in completing the install. Nor am I dissatisfied (for the most part) with the system that has been installed. However, the reason that I would not recommend Protect your Home is that I  do have a problem with the sales tactics that they use which I have to believe come via ADT and then through the local installer Protect Your Home.  I was definitely oversold and my monthly premium is too high and much higher than I was initially quoted.  I am also locked in for 3 years which is  too long and should be unnecessary if your product is worth the cost. I believe there are better ways to set up business practices so that your salespeople are not so dependent on the commission they receive from a sale.
After evaluating my home my installer did some neat number tricks (this is sarcasm) to give me an estimate that was supposed to convince me that getting the highest upgrade was actually going to be the best deal for me after all of the credits had been applied.  I didn't really buy it but at that point I didn't completely understand all the components and the implications.  I was also prepared to invest in a security system and could also see the value in most of the parts of the system.  I ended up agreeing and the installation was completed that night.  I'm not sure what would have happened if I had asked to think about my options...my installer was a smooth talker and knew how to take advantage of me as a single woman.  Over the next few days as I reviewed the contract and started using my system I realized that I did not need the security camera or the supposedly handy clicker for disarming and arming the system that was supposed to be a bonus but was listed at $150 on my invoice.   The clicker is pretty much useless if you go with the Pulse system and can control the entire system from your iPhone. I also thought my monthly premium was higher than it should be.  I called ADT to inquire and the rep told me that I could return any equipment for a refund for 30 days.  I was also quoted a monthly rate that was lower if the camera was returned.  They set up an appointment for my installer to come out to collect the equipment that I did not want.   However, when the installer came back out he contradicted the information that I had received from ADT.  At that point I didn't argue and didn't want to deal with the frustration of navigating between all these parties so I kept my camera, my unused clicker, and have a higher monthly premium than I believe I should have.
As a customer I would be much more likely to recommend this company if you set up your practice so that your salespeople came out for an initial evaluation and clearly explained the options and pricing. THEN, gave the customer time to consider the options and choose the system that best suits their needs.  Yes, it takes more time but now that I have done some additional research I understand from first hand experience why ADT has lost credibility to other home security providers.  Until this changes I would recommend that anyone looking for home security system do their research before setting up an appointment with ADT based on their name value alone.
Finally, I also have yet to receive my $100 VISA gift card which required extra hoops to jump through in order to have it sent out.  I sincerely hope that both companies consider their business practices and make some changes or I definitely be considering another company when I move and/or at the end of my contract."
