They clearly felt it was still necessary and sent a bill for $227.50... It was emailed directly from the company president's personal email so this wasn't a clerical error. A 3rd party tech did the work and said the cameras are sub-standard for where they were installed and will always be a problem. As he predicted, they began failing to work within weeks. I have not bothered to follow up.

They went above and beyond to ensure a top of the line safe and well managed product. It is robust, end-user ease of use / customer friendly with an intuitive platform. Great account management and always there if there is anything that needs an upgrade and or any additional information or service required. Quality of service is second to none. Safeguard was provided to me by a friend who owns a multi site company who has nothing but the best to say about that group. With that said I still did due diligence in respect to looking into reviews as well as industry analysis to ensure I made the proper call on what security company to use. My company is heavily impacted by having a top of the line best in class, innovative security platform. I have a geographically dispersed company throughout the United States and If anyone is looking for the a well rounded, tech and customer oriented security company I would lead with Safeguard. I find it hard to believe that the reviews below are of any substance. Safeguard prides itself on service and ongoing support. I am proud and believe in each of the Safeguard employees. I also found a couple reviews interesting in the idea that they were treated with nothing less then professionalism. Upon my company wide install and configuration I was immediately sent a letter from the president himself who signs and gives his direct cell number. This document in short supplies the customer a service agreement that is different from other security companies. It is written and sent by the president ensuring that if there are any issues he will take over the account, answer and fix any and all concerns and or questions. So if the people below had issues with responses that they believe not to be adequate, I would hazard to guess it was a customer related issue, meaning they should have reached out to the respected escalation process. I would give a 10 star if I could and more then willing to bring anyone to a site where Safeguard installed there platform out of proof of concept. I believe and trust them with not only my company but both of my houses Safeguard had also implemented and haven't had any issues. Within their contact it has service related guarantees that are exactly what anyone would expect but they actually walk the walk and adhere to the warranties and services and they clearly built it within the contract. So thank you Safeguard.

Moving day can be stressful and not having a well planned estimate will cause issues…read more We were quoted $1,300 - $1500 for two men and a half day. We were asked to send pictures of all our items so they can fine-tune the estimate and make sure they are properly prepared to meet the customers' needs. We followed their request and sent pictures of EVERY item to be moved. Subsequent to sending the pictures the estimator said that after reviewing the photos he would like to add an additional man and increase the time based on his review of the photos. Their proposal was increased slightly ($1,500 - $1,700) (we had no issues with the request), and we awaited their arrival on moving day. Moving day came the workers on the truck were very nice. However mid-way through moving things went south fast. The workers broke an expensive glass bar cart and called to inform their home office. The original estimator then called to say we had more stuff than anticipated and the truck was full. The stuff was exactly what was in the one dozen photos sent two weeks prior to the move. These photos contained all the furniture and all of boxes that we had packed for the move. He then proceeded to state that we "didn't inform them there were boxes to move" (a complete lie). We calmly said two of the pictures sent to you (which the workers on site actually had on their cell phones) have a stack of boxes in the family room and another from the garage. He said well, "people move their boxes themselves sometimes'". Our response was simply questioning why we would have sent the pictures, at their request, if we intended to move them on our own. After arriving at 11:05 and deciding they were done at 5:30 sharp, the movers left over 20% of the remaining contents. They said they needed to move what they have in the truck and "they would come back the next day", but we would be getting another quote for the remaining move. When I questioned the additional quote the gentleman from the home office then revised it talk track to say he would not be able to insure he could come back tomorrow (Saturday, knowing the house was being sold) and stated and he would do it in 3 days (past the date of the house being sold) but the quote had to be signed to get on a possible schedule. He carried on saying "couldn't disrupt his clients already on tomorrows schedule". I guess its OK to disrupt a client by leaving 20% of the job behind. His quote for completing the move arrived the next day and the move would now be almost double the original price! Needless to say we quickly found an honest and reputable company for less than 1/2 of the additional quote from Two Movers. Two days later they sent a final bill for $800.00 more than his revised estimate, bringing the total moving cost to more than twice their original estimated when added to the additional mover we had to hire. We informed them of their error in number of hours billed, and reminded them they didn't complete the job, and that they broke the bar cart. Their response was that the bar cart isn't covered as they were not specifically informed of it in the move list, but they would give me $50.00 for it even though it was included in the pictures we had sent which prompted them to increase the original estimate. They said any items not specifically "written" on the contact were not their liability! The reality is they received pictures of all the items being moved, they double checked those photos well enough to increase the estimate to include an additional man. While we hope for a fair resolution that accurately accounts for actual hours worked and the damage to the property they caused, we have so far not heard back from them revising their billing or received any apology for the distasteful experience Update : The owner called apologized for the stress and miscommunications and we settled on a fair amount for the work they did The owner was very nice and concerned about our experience and perception of his office staff because it's not what the majority of his customers experience according to him My advice ask a lot of questions and list as many of your bigger or more expensive/delicate items upfront so you can openly discuss how they will be handled.

After about 15 minutes of work I was told the condenser had to be replaced due to mice chewing the electrical wires. I could understand this. Here is where the issue comes in. The technician first said it would be $3400 to replace. He then went to his truck and came back to tell my wife it would actually be $8,000, but they added a discount so I would Pay $6,000. The total cost of the whole install (condenser unit + 4 wall units) was 12,000. So just to replace the condenser is over half the cost of the initial install. I called to complain and spoke with the service manager. The service manager essentially explained to me that this was accurate because if they did the install today it would be 23,000. So they evidently had a 100% price increase. I then explained the invoice showed the unit itself as 2,000 and then labor as 6,000. He explained to me that was untrue, that due to the new invoice system they have, they can just put numbers anywhere essentially, so I should ignore the invoice. I explained my frustration and how that does not make any sense and I am not paying 6,000 for a condenser and labor. He said he understood and would escalate it higher and I would get a call later that day or the next. It's going on 3 days now and I have not heard back. This company went from one of my top rated to near highway robbery. I cannot reccomend them to anyone at this point, and will need to look into alternatives to get my heat back in the winter.
