I have to say I was a little nervous, ideally, I would have liked to try a new company on a smaller event first but had no time to do so. It worked out wonderfully. The guards were pleasant, professional and did everything expected. As an origination that has multiple events per week, we have had all sorts of experiences with unarmed guards, but this is probable the most overall positive experience we have had. I would highly recommend them. It is also refreshing to be able to talk to a live person when you call.

They lost the one star because their guard showed up an hour late on day one but we were fine. The boss showed up instead to cover for the guard until he showed up.

Amazing service all around~!

Ami helped to coordinate installs was a total Angel because our schedule is Hectic and our project of sorting out multiple old systems, broken sensors and contacts, and a mess left by the old company (nothing was labeled or organized) required multiple visits and at odd times- I really appreciate that the installers were committed to doing everything right even though it took more equipment and time than we originally anticipated. Also love the head engineers that are familiar with lots of systems to help with random WiFi/network errors. The systems themselves are sleek and easy to use with the app. The sensors can be delayed or disabled for certain purposes. I also accidentally set off the alarm silently, they called me and the cops, and were able to call off the cops easily once confirming it was me. Lots of nice safety features to this alarm which Scott tested to make sure they worked as needed :) We compared to another well know local company that seemed a bit outdated (no app access/control) and a giant national company (expensive setup, less local, not as individualized attention). Ultimately chose safe and sound for the excellent customer service and highly recommend!

We spoke on Thursday, they said "We will try and have someone out tomorrow". It's now Wednesday and radio silence.

I'm a long time contractor in the Oakland hills (since 1991)…read more Chris Degrege was a recommendation from an architect whom I trust, so I gave him leeway and was more liberal with his contract than I should have been. In the end he did not deliver. His men were days, if not a week late, and after the pre-wire was done, he didn't come back and layout all the terminations of the wires! I basically have $4000 worth of wiring in my home that is useless unless I pay him ransom money to find where the wires are buried. I'm now having to take legal action force him to identify the wire locations. Also, as of the date of this wiring, his contractors license suspended until he provides proof of insurance. Beware!

I reached out to Local Gate Service initially I reached Ron (Dad) I explained to him my needs. I…read morehad an existing gate that was set up, strictly on a solar panel with batteries when the weather got bad cloudy days or when the solar panel got too much pollen on it or just got dirty. the gate would be super slow and it just wouldn't work. I had finally decided it was time to switch it over to a electric gate with battery back up. Ron understood my needs perfectly. He told me he would have his son Shawn Call me to discuss exactly what I needed done requested that I send him. Some pictures pictures were sent. SHAWN got back to me promptly told me what he felt was the best motor for the job which was a LiftMaster, which was a name that I'm familiar with as I've had LiftMaster garage doors for many years never had a single problem so I'm sure there reliability carried over to their GATE motors. Other companies have come out to give me a bid you'll see in the pictures attached below the existing motor they all told me that they would need to come and pour a concrete slab to mount the new LiftMaster motor that would take a few days and it definitely increase the price immediately just by looking at the pictures Ron had a different plan. He was able to have this plan because he has master welders part of his installation team, they thought outside the box and said now this will be a quick and easy job. You already have two posts that are sunk in the ground for the existing motor so on site they fabricated and welded a tray and then welded it to the two existing post so you'll see the new motor is suspended above the ground which I like better anyway kind of keeps rodents not wanting to go in there and just keeps the whole thing cleaner when I'm blowing out, unable to blow underneath it leaves and things their installation was on time because of the welding and not having to pour a slab they were in and out one day they painted the old gate they tested it. They provided me with three remotes and two keypads. I would not hesitate to call them again in the future for any other needs specially because their ability to think outside the box, manufacture, and weld on site. Shawn is the Son. He's the one that you'll do most communications with definitely very knowledgeable follows through calling explaining and made sure to let you know that they'll be there to stand behind the product and installation the entire warranty. And beyond in needed. Great family operation don't hesitate to give them a chance to assess your situation. LOCAL GATE SERVICE Ron & Shawn two thumbs up Five stars
