Recently moved, we trusted Bulldog for the second time to keep our family safe. They just installed a fantastic system on our new house. We can access everything we need from either our phones or the easy to use, yet futuristic security panel. The footprint of the panel as well as all parts of the system has decreased since they installed a system on our old house about six years ago. As technology changes I'm confidant in Bulldog to keep with the times to maintain a safe space for our family. The install team was clean, courteous, and very knowledgeable. They had the skills to overcome all the

Good personalized service, know their business, and
swift installation. The only reason I didn't rate 5 is because I would like to see the technology consolidated with other smart house mobile apps. It would be nice to have 1 app vs. multiple ones for the home.

We had Bulldog update our home alarm system. They were great! Walked through all systems with us and showed us options. Now, all systems are on our phones and we can control everything even if we are away. Steve, the owner and all the people that work with him are real professionals, and very patient with explaining details. I have referred him to other clients of mine and all have been very happy. Highly recommended!
