5/25/2016 " clearly cares that his customer's homes are safe and protected. ."
Had the best experience with my new security system. Ron Loetz was so thorough and informative. He clearly cares that his customer's homes are safe and protected. Not only was he on time but was very detail oriented and made sure everything was cleaned up after the job was done. I would highly recommend Ron and company for your home security. - Lis S. - Los Angeles, CA

"Top Notch Security System."
I must say that trying to filter through all of the possible systems to secure my home wasn't going to be a pleasant task. Lucky for me Bill Wood stay on top of his job and stopped by while we were moving in. What I liked about Bill is that he wasn't pushy at all, gave me options and then backed it all up with an e-mail and video feeds explaining the system. Then he made sure my appointment was on time, went well and then checked the next day to see if everything was O.K. and if I had any further questions. Then Bill says, "call me anytime if you need anything" after stopping by two weeks after the system was in, again, just to make sure we were not struggling with anything.. Top notch guy representing a top notch security system.

"ADT was one of the only ones that actually came to my house"
I recently moved to a new house and needed a security system. I researched about 10 different companies. ADT was one of the only ones that actually came to my house to give their recommendations on what security MY house needed versus what was the most expensive option. Angel Rodriguez came to my house to talk to me about my options. He was extremely knowledgeable about the proper security measures I should take for my house, and was very courteous, kind and respectful. Installation was scheduled quickly and the installer was fantastic. He showed up on time, worked hard and really made sure to check and double-check that everything was working properly. Then he spent a good 15 minutes talking me through the different options, instructions and capabilities of the website and app. I highly recommend ADT for their service, in particular Angel. Thanks for a great job! - Anita B., Santa Monica, CA

They took over my previously existing security system without difficulty, even though I had a technician from another company tell me the week before that taking over my old system wasn't possible!- Robert D., SOMA, San Francisco, CA
Yelp Review
These guys are extremely customer focused. I was paying $25 a month for monitoring services for a 20 year old alarm system that was tied into my home phone. We dumped our home phones because they are just a waste of money and only use our cell phones these days so the old alarm system didn't work anymore. The old alarm company wanted $700 to put a new cellular pad in the house and it had nowhere near the bells and whistles I get with ADT.
I now have the $59 a month service from ADT and they used all my old door and window detectors which is a very large number that are hardwired in so that is great. Kyle, my sales rep explained all of this to me and he was great through the whole process. Pat, the installer came by today to install the system - he was awesome - knows his stuff inside and out, was pleasant, and efficient. For the $99 I upgraded to cellular, got a motion detector, a camera, another wireless detector for the wine cellar, a lamp switch, and the alarm can be armed and disarmed from one of 4 places:
1) The downstairs keypad
2) The upstairs keypad
3) A key fob - this is great for walking the dog - go out the back door and arm the whole house with a press of a button
4) My cellphone - the ADT Pulse App from the App Store works great. I can see what is going on on the camera, arm the house from NY if I want, set up a vacation schedule so the lamp goes on and off at certain times while I am on vacation.
I needed a new system anyway, and if I think about some of the things we spend money on, an extra $35 a month for great safety, piece of mind, convenience, flexibility, and state of the art technology was an easy decision for me.
ADT has good technology but the real difference maker here is California Security Pro. These things can get complicated and having a great dealer that is first class from the sale through to the install deserves a review like this . Not easily impressed but was today.
Thanks! - Roger S., Oakland, CA

6/22/2016 "greatest deal available"
I just wanted to thank Steven Simmons for helping my clients set up their home security system effectively and efficiently and get them the greatest deal available. Steve went above and beyond to help a young family get on a program that will make them feel secure in their new home. I was able to help by passing along the information Steve provided thru their Realtor program, they chose Steve based on his willingness to help and provide the best service available. - Roland H., Los Angeles, CA

5/31/2016 "easy to work with, showed up on time, the rate was reasonable,"
Brandon Tomas was my service rep, he was easy to work with, showed up on time, the rate was reasonable, he is professional and knowledgeable about the products. He and the technician Carl Henderson are a great team, they explained things very clear and easy to follow. Highly recommend Brandon and Carl.

5/31/2016 "We've used bay alarm, AT&T digital life and now Adt and so far this was a stellar experience."
I don't do reviews, but these guys were awesome! Brandon was amazing, prompt, professional and kind. Even nice to my crazy dog. Installation took longer than anticipated due to our old house, but they did their best to finish on time. I feel more secure and satisfied. We've used bay alarm, AT&T digital life and now Adt and so far this was a stellar experience. The service is a bit more expensive, but I'm hoping that is because of the quality of the experience! And that if we ever do need the alarm for realz, Adt will be ready.

5/27/2016 "very willing to take the time I needed. I recommend this company"
I recently had Kyle, from the San Ramon ADT office, set up my home security system. He did an excellent job of showing me the options, explaining things, and patiently talked with me when I called for help, after the system had been installed. I suppose it had all been explained in the booklet, but I do better at understanding things through a conversation, and he was very willing to take the time I needed. I recommend this company.

5/5/2016 "excellent security system..."
I couldn't be happier with my experience working with Brandon and Micah. They were fast, friendly and extremely efficient. At every step in the process they explained things carefully and thoroughly, listened to my concerns and answered my questions so that I could get an excellent security system up and running in our home. Really couldn't have asked for anything more! Thank you guys.

"alarm package he put together is more secure than our existing system with the advantage of now having cameras on all our external doors...all at a recurring cost much less than Bay Alarm's offering"
We recently upgraded our company phone system and needed to upgrade our alarm system as well. After getting a quote from our incumbent company Bay Alarm, I was referred to Kyle Madison @ ADT to see their offerings. Knowing our alarm situation, Kyle made it a point to meet me the same day which I was pleasantly surprised. Not only that, the alarm package he put together is more secure than our existing system with the advantage of now having cameras on all our external doors...all at a recurring cost much less than Bay Alarm's offering as well as their legacy system that was previously in place (since year 2000). Kyle made this whole process painless and I'm excited with the new setup as well as the peace of mind that goes along with it. I can control most all my features online as well as my android smart phone. I would definitely use ADT for any future installs and references for others. - Fred V. I.T. Manager, Pleasanton, CA

"They installed the system in a few hours just days after the evaluation"
4/28/2016

These guys are great. Kyle came by on time, explained all the options clearly, got me the best deal, and processed all the paperwork smoothly. The installer came on time, set everything up in the amount of time predicted, gave us a demo, and explained everything to us. No hitches, no surprises. I highly recommend them. - James T., San Francisco, CA

"out of his way to help us get the right package for us"
We received an e-mail from our realtor about ADT's realtor referral program. Levi Ocampo was helpful with the available plans in our city and immediately booked us his next available appointment. He was friendly, professional, and went out of his way to help us get the right package for us. William, the installer, called us 30 minutes in advance to let us know he will be arriving at the scheduled time. He did a great job installing the security system for us. Our overall experience for the start of our home security was excellent with these two gentleman. - Vacaville homeowners. - Jasmin O., Vacaville, CA

"I feel confident and secured with my new ADT system"
I am extremely happy with the service provided by the ADT and it's agent Tamas who installed the equipment at my new house. I feel confident and secured with my new ADT system even when I am away from the house.
The installation was done in a very professional manner and was given a thorough walk through of the overall system and it's function. I certainly recommend the ADT system and the agent for his service. Kiran Kumar V., Simi Valley, CA

"we are new to home security. "
Great service from the start. Otis Jackson explained everything to my husband and I since we are new to home security. He answered all of our questions and walked us through the whole process. Best of all he did not push us to purchase the most expensive package. ADT was recommended to us by a friend and I am glad we gave them a call. - Lupe V., Oceanside, CA (New Homeowner in Port Hueneme, CA)

"I've had mine for a month plus and it's worked perfectly."
I worked with Michael Farabee, and he was very knowledgeable. He gave me good recommendations and the installation was quick and painless and very convenient. I recommend using these guys if you need an alarm system. I've had mine for a month plus and it's worked perfectly. I had one false alarm and even that was smooth. - Nicole A., Newark, CA (New Home Owner in San Lorenzo)
"design the system that fit our needs and budget."
Nearly a week into having our new system in place and I am a very satisfied customer. Greg Blazek came to our house and took all the time we needed to explain (sometimes over and over again-- I have toddlers, brain = mush at times) and got us well versed in the system as a whole, what different options we had, etc.. I never felt rushed or like I was being a pain. Greg was super patient and not even remotely pushy or "salesy." I felt like we were working together to design the system that fit our needs and budget and that made me really love this company from the get.
I'd recommend Greg a hundred times over. He had my toddlers in his face during the several hour long initial meeting and it didn't faze him at all. He's friendly, warm and extremely knowledgeable about the systems they install. Jeremy came to install a few days later and it was painless. He was quick, thorough, and also fine with the small people checking out what he was up to. He went step by step with me to make sure I was 100% good to go on our new system before leaving. He worked quickly and clean. I appreciate that. Greg even popped back in for a quick check on us and it just so happened I came up with a question. He immediately worked it out so I could understand and now I have a whole new awesome feature to use! ::high five to bypass function!::: It sounds silly but the chime feature on the doors (again, toddlers.) and the heat/smoke alarm are two of my favorites. Aside, obviously from the greater security system. We now have an awesome direct contact, no wacky 800 numbers to call or wade through. I feel like we really can just give Greg a call if we have any issues at all (which I don't anticipate after seeing how professional this company has been throughout the process). Two big thumbs up! An awesome perk: getting a refund check from our homeowner's insurance and having the cost drop by over $80/year. Not a bad deal!
Kelly R., Rocklin, CA
"Impressed with the customer service from Bjorn Haro."
I was very impressed with the customer service from Bjorn Haro at California Security Pro. He offered me great deal on my install and monthly service. He also went way out his way to help my wife and I move into our new house. A++++

"I'll definitely recommend Ryan and California Security Pro to our new neighbors and family!"
Recently bought a brand new home and it came with just about everything except a home security system. Thankfully, the insurance guy I got a quote from happened to highly recommended going with California Security Pro.I met with Ryan last Saturday and he was great to work with, not to mention, patient as I had a couple deliveries going on when he arrived. He was very cool, not pushy at all, and clearly explained all the options that would suit our needs.I choose a wireless system and was just going to go with the basic monitoring plan, but being how I love technology, I got the plan that allows me to monitor the house using my iPhone, and it only cost a few dollars more a month. The install was scheduled a couple days later, which was fast and hassle free. Ryan also followed up a few days after to make sure everything was working out fine, which was a nice touch, and much appreciated.
I'll definitely recommend Ryan and California Security Pro to our new neighbors and family!

"Nearly a week into having our new system in place and I am a very satisfied customer.."
I contacted three firms to secure my home. Calif. Security Pro in the persons of Lance Quevillon and Jesse Amatrone personify customer service. Lance patiently explained his equipment and services to me, and Jesse expertly installed them. The interaction was seamless and friendly, and my home is secure. If in the future i again have security needs, I know who I will call.
Steve W., Petaluma, CA
"when getting a home security system, you have to go see Lance at California Security Pro"
I have to give this company a SCREAMING five stars, because of the amazing customer service that I received from Lance. From my first point of contact and throughout the rest of the process, he has been so informative and professional. He answered all of my questions and spent all of the time that I needed to get through the process.I have two amazing children who I want to protect all of the time, but wasn't sure how the system would work for our active household and Lance was so wonderful in explaining the importance of safety to them as well. If you are thinking about what company to choose, when getting a home security system, you have to go see Lance at California Security Pro, he is the best.

" I knew I needed an alarm."
I am a single working mom living alone with my two small children. After someone tried to break into my house while I was home alone one morning I knew I needed an alarm. After looking into all my options I settled with CA Security Pro. Jarrett McAllister came to my house that very day I called after work and was very flexible with my schedule. Jarrett was very professional, and knowledgeable. He explained everything to me and helped me chose the right options for me and my kids and didn't try to up sale me on something I couldn't afford. Jarrett was AWESOME!!! I would recommend him to anyone I know!! A few days later Hector came and did the install. He was really quick and professional and so polite. He explained how to use it and everything and answered all my questions I had. I would definitely recommend CA Security Pro to all my friends and family. I now feel safe in my house when I am home with my children, I have even taught my 10 year old what to do in case of an emergency!
Shannon H., Pleasant Hill, CA
"I HIGHLY recommend California Security Pro for your home security."
California Security Pro is awesome! They have great customer service, they go above and beyond to make sure you're satisfied. We worked with Greg Blazek, whom was awesome, he made sure we got everything that we requested. Jeremy, the installer was very professional, clean and patient. He spent most of the day installing our house that I felt like he was part of the family. I HIGHLY recommend California Security Pro for your home security installation.

"helped me pick out the system to meet my needs"
Bill Woods was great. He came out immediately and helped me pick out the system to meet my needs. He responded quickly to emails and questions that I sent and even came back after I had the system installed because I decided I wanted one more piece of equipment to add to my system. He is friendly and knowledgeable!
Kim M., Napa, CA
"The system works great with my iPhone, Highly recommended!"
I worked with Paul Bakhtegan on the sales side and he was super knowledgeable and helpful with getting our home set up. No pressure, he was very consultative. We bought our home in Livermore a year ago in a quiet neighborhood but recently the place across the street got robbed in the middle of the day. We decided to talk to ADT about activating an existing system in our house and they made the process a breeze with upgrading our equipment and getting things set up. Micah our installer was very polite and walked us through how everything worked thoroughly. The system works great with my iPhone. Highly recommended!
Paul M., San Francisco, CA
"We are completely satisfied with the system."
the installation of the system was completed in a short time frame, and the installer explained the system so that we could both understand it. The sales rep followed up to check if all went ok, and that we could add on extras down the road. we are completely satisfied with the system and would recommend it and California security pro to anyone.
William S., Lafayette, CA

"I was so impressed with Kyle's presentation."
I had been thinking about installing an ADT security system and met Kyle Madison (California Security Pro) at the Alameda County Fair booth.....originally just planned to ask for some information but I was so impressed with Kyle's presentation that I decided to bite the bullet and sign the contract. Even after we did that, he continued to be very responsive to my questions and matched the offer of another ADT dealer who had sent me a flyer offering additional free equipment. Jesse Amatrone was the technician who came to do the installation and he was also very helpful in answering questions and explaining everything I needed to know....but what I appreciated most was how attentive he was to detail (as I had explained that I was very picky about everything being put on even/straight). Thank you Kyle and Jesse
Mary Ann S., El Cerrito, CA
"Good advice, no BS."
Interacted with Jarrett McAllister there, very professional and customer-oriented. Good advice, no BS. Excellent service

" I feel that we made a good business decision by selecting CA Security Pro"
I did my homework and researched the Internet and the Better Business Bureau. CA Security Pro checked out with flying colors. I contacted a sales rep (Marrisa) and she was great!! Very helpful and informative. My family was interested on purchasing a home security system and so they did so. I purchased one next and Ron completed the installation. He arrived on time and he was professional. He worked through the early evening until 8pm or so. He didn't rush through and explained the system to my family very patiently. Although I've only had the system for about 5 hours or so, I feel that we made a good business decision by selecting CA Security Pro of Woodland Hills. Bravo....

" I have so much peace of mind now when I'm away from home."
Thank you Jeremy Hahn CA Security Pro salesman for your professional attitude and enthusiasm about this service. Jeremy did a great job of explaining all our options and helping us figure out what was best for our home. He knew exactly what we needed. I have so much peace of mind now when I'm away from home. My wife feels safer and the options and upgrades that Jeremy suggested fit perfectly in our home and budget Hector the installer was real friendly and very professional too. He took the time to make sure everything was set up correctly with the alarm monitoring system and installed everything very well. Thanks again to you both.....I will definitely recommend you both to friends and family. Ed

"I actually trusted the installer to leave him at my house for about a half hour by himself..."
Waited 2 months for another company to get back to me to install a security system, they dropped the ball. Called Kyle in San Ramon and he stepped up to the plate in a couple of days and the install was done the next day. I actually trusted the installer to leave him at my house for about a half hour by himself only because I know Kyle is an honest man. Kyle and the installer were very helpful and explained every detail. I received a call the next day after the install from Kyle to make sure everything was to my liking. Thank you for the quick response and I know I will have good service from this company.
V G., Brentwood, CA
"If I had to do it again, I'd go with them again...keep up the good work......"
What a great customer service to come all the way to my house on my own schedule and gives us a sense of security, Lance was very helpful and his concern was our safety and our family. talk about good customer service and the installation was even easier with all this wireless technology your house does not have to be attack anymore.if i had to do it again i go with them again,,,
keep up the good work......

"Would surely recommend this company to my friends."
These guys are the real pro. Brandon and Chad, the sales rep, stopped by as soon as I called them. They went over various options and we got rolling as soon as we signed up the contract. The next day they realized there was slight error in the paper work. Chad came by again late Fri evening just to fix this issue so that there is no delay in the installation.
Rene, the install technician, came as appointed. He explained the use of system and made sure we understood how to operate it. Overall experience was good. Would surely recommend this company to my friends.
Ram D., San Ramon, CA
"He took care of everything for us and was there every step of the way."
Brandon Thomas was great! He took care of everything for us and was there every step of the way. A true professional. He explained our options clearly, arranged the installation of our system very quickly and was on-site for the installation to make sure everything was ok. He was even great with our new puppy! Highly recommended.
"They where all above Jarrett's price range and of course the systems where not as nice"
So 5 Stars goes to Jarrett McAllister my Security Consultant. I have been with ISP for 6 years now and they where bought out by All-Guard which I did not like at all. Jarrett came to my house and gave me a wonderful presentation. He did not try to sell me anything I did NOT need. Instead he asked me what I liked about my current system and what I would like to see changed. We spoke about what was not working out for me and he came up with a master plan!!. I had 4 other companies come out and give me quotes for the same systems. They where all above Jarrett's price range and of course the systems where not as nice. Well then it came down to getting the master plan in my husbands current budget which I thought would be impossible for what I wanted. But Jarrett came back and got me the price I need to get my system installed and even got me the installation date I need which is tomorrow. ADT here I come. Stay tuned for the installation review!! So far this company rocks!!

"The System Turns out to be Much Simpler and Cheaper Than I Thought it Could Be."
I was looking for a home security system. I called the company and the intake was very helpful. I got an appointment right away. Jarrett from the company came in and helped me design a home security system that works for my needs. I really appreciated his advice and time. Jarrett is very friendly, and easy to work with. The system turns out to be much simpler and cheaper than I thought it could be. I highly recommend California Security Pro.
Sheena K., San Francisco, CA
"a great help since in choosing the system,."
We recently got a system put into our house. Marissa Esguerra made the initial contact within 5 minutes of me posting a request on their site. That level of customer responsiveness was just the beginning- she has been a great help since in choosing the system, scheduling the install and arranging to make some changes we wanted- all equally fast. Pat, the installation manager, was on time- did a great job and explained the system patiently. I would strongly recommend these guys to anyone considering a system.
R N., San Jose, CA
"System works well."
Good service sales by Brandon and great installation by Rene. System works well.
Alex A., Hayward, CA
"Painless and Great Experience."
Fish was sent to give us a quote. He was very friendly and gave me a great price (better than 4 other companies I checked with) and I signed up right away. They installation happened the very next day, and the installer was very good as well. The installer forgot to leave the remote with me but, I called Fish and he had the installer sent right back. The installer quickly set up the remote for me and when I gave him some money for a tip he refused it!! Very friendly and professional. Painless and great experience!

"I Had an Exceptional Experience with California Security Pro and was Pleased With the Professionalism of the Staff."
I had an exceptional experience with California Security Pro and was pleased with the professionalism of the staff. I contacted Jason out of the San Ramon office two days prior to our family vacation in desperate need of an alarm system. Jason was wonderful to listen to my concerns and guide me over the phone as to which system would be best for our home. Jason went above and beyond to have a technician Micah come to our home the very next day to install our ADT system. Micah did an excellent job installing the ADT system and we left for our vacation the next day feeling at ease that our home was protected. I have recommended many of my friends and families to contact this company and appreciate the superb experience I received.
