Welcome to Hargrave Investment Property Solutions, your full service Handyman professionals! We look forward to serving you!

"I hired Hargrave Investment Property Solution, to professionally dig 5 post holes using 8ft large, heavy steel posts. He was very inquisitive and made sure he understood what i wanted done. I tell you that young man was very professional, charismatic, attentive, knowledgeable, patient, precise and detailed. My posts are straight, even, lined up and the foot of the post he installed looks uniformed too. The young man Phillip knows what he is doing and is great at it. He took his time to make sure the measurements were spot on and he finished digging and installing all 5 post holes well under 3 hours. I will most definitely hire him again for any future projects. Also I would refer him to all my family and friends because not only does he know what he is doing, he is honest and trustworthy too. It was a privilege to have met and hire him. I am very good at judging people and he is a keeper. God bless him. Thank you Phillip.😊🙏"

FAQs for alarm or security system installation projects in Chicago, IL

If you terminate your security system before your contract ends, you’ll likely have to pay a cancellation fee—often a percentage of the remaining contract balance. To avoid these fees, consider choosing a brand that offers contract-free plans, like SimpliSafe or Vivint. You can also negotiate with your provider to see if they provide pro-rated cancellation fees or special exceptions.

Paying for a security system is a valuable investment because it enhances your home’s safety and deters criminal activity. With millions of property crimes each year, having robust security measures helps protect your property and might even lower your insurance premiums. It's a worthwhile investment for lasting peace of mind.

The average cost to install security cameras ranges from $125 to $3,500, depending on the amount, type, and placement. To install a complete setup of four cameras, homeowners can expect to invest an average of $1,300 for labor and equipment. Installing multiple cameras gives you comprehensive coverage of vulnerable entry points and enhances overall property security.
