Natalie in sales was beyond amazing! Usually when you call big companies you get a robot or someone who seems like they really don’t care. Natalie was so personable and helped my husband get everything in order. If you want a company that you can talk to REAL, local people who care, use guardian

Response from the owner:Thank you for the amazing feedback, Charlotte! WE're so glad to hear that Natalie provided such a personable and caring experience. Our team takes pride in offering real, local support, and it's wonderful to know that came through. We'll be sure to share your kind words with her!

Getting my smoke detector and fire alarm system installed for my mental health group home facility was definitely a job!

The installers Anthony and Dave were very helpful and great at what they do.

I had the pleasure of working with Selena who overlooked the details and was able to work out Some minor issues that we came across.

Keith, their boss was a pleasure to work with and even was able to give me options for the down payment and balance due after installation.

Overall, I appreciate working with Guardian Alarm and would recommend them for any project big or small.

Thank you guys for your time and patience. Im not the easiest costumer for sure…..😉
