"Excellent!!! Juan was very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. He knows his trade top notch. He secured all boards with top quality wood to prevent the ramp from collapsing again. We are truly thankful for his excellent quality work and feel safe for our 90 lb dog to use the ramps again. We recommend Juan highly!!!"

"Kaio did an excellent job for us. He came here to look at the project and gave us a very reasonable estimate. He was here everyday and worked at this difficult job. The wallpaper was very difficult to remove and the walls underneath were in terrible condition. He patched, sanded, and primed until both he and we were satisfied. The stained wood work on the three windows along with the bookcase had to be prepped before any primer could be used. He put on several coats of paint on the repaired walls. He even cleaned the hardwood floor once he had completed the job. I can recommend him with the utmost confidence. His work ethic is beyond reproach and we will definitely hire him back if we should need another project done."

"I contacted Mulligan Painting based off reviews here and local word of mouth. They returned the call within a few hours. Came out for a quote at the time I was available and from that moment on I knew I made the right choice. Gerry (the owner) was polite, knowledgeable and very patient. I had lots of questions and concerns because of the age of the shingles and the previous materials used. He answered all my questions and eased all my concerns. The job started within a week or so once I decided on a color ( thanks to some great suggestions by Gerry). His team arrived on time and I honestly can’t say enough about ALL of them. The precautions they took draping my landscape, fences and anything that might be in their way was impressive. They were all beyond polite and helpful and got right to work. I didn’t once see a worker sitting, Texting/talking on their phones or taking advantage of the many seating areas we have in our yard. They worked hard -through some very hot days- and they take their job very serious. Kyle was the contact guy on the job and he is meticulous! Simple things like matching up the correct size to shingles that needed to be replaced to replacing slats on eve windows that I didn’t even know were a thing. They even cleaned and checked the gutters-something I would’ve had to hire another company to do had they not taken care of it-without even asking!!! Once they were done with the house they were able to restain the deck for us. Any loose paint was cleared away without a trace and done so methodically that I was able to walk out on the deck as soon as the van was packed up. I honestly can’t find a single negative thing to comment about. Clean, Polite, Affordable and just all around great bunch of workers. Feeling safe with and being able to trust unknown contractors in and around your home, and no surprise/hidden costs is something I put the highest value on. Gerry, Kyle and his team exceeded my expectations. My house looks beautiful! Highly recommend this company"

FAQs for security bars service projects in Boston, MA

Window security bars create a physical barrier that discourages quick entry, making most intruders move on to an easier target. Properly installed bars can also help keep children and pets from accidental falls, giving homeowners added peace of mind. 

To maximize both safety and security, have a licensed professional install quick-release hardware that meets local egress requirements.

Installing window security bars is legal in most areas, but local building codes often require emergency-egress features and quick-release hardware. Some states and municipalities, including California, Mississippi, and Texas, prohibit permanently closed burglar bars to prevent occupants from becoming trapped in the event of a fire. 

Before installing window security bars, review local and state regulations for setback requirements, operable hardware, and fire safety compliance. This ensures your installation meets legal standards while keeping your home secure and accessible in the event of an emergency.

Window security bars enhance home safety features and appeal to buyers who prioritize protection. Properties with professionally installed window security bars often qualify for lower homeowners insurance premiums, offsetting some of the installation cost. This value boost is most pronounced in neighborhoods with higher crime rates, where buyers feel more secure. 

Choosing custom or decorative bars enhances your home's curb appeal, while quick-release mechanisms maintain emergency access, making your home both more marketable and safer.

To make window bars look attractive, select custom decorative designs that complement your home’s architectural style. Wrought iron bars with scrollwork, floral motifs, or geometric patterns can become an elegant focal point rather than a security eyesore. 

Incorporate planter boxes beneath your windows, allow climbing ivy to soften the lines, or apply a coordinating paint finish to blend bars with exterior colors. You can also install quick-release decorative panels or matching shutters that conceal bars when not in use, achieving both beauty and security.
