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.

Reliable, Honest, Dependable, Fantastic!! Our experience with Bulldog was nothing short of fantastic! We had one of those terrible experiences with gut rehabbing an old home but Bulldog came in and (besides being the best of all our contractors to work with throughout our 2 year rehab) just had everything under control in an out of control situation. They even helped our GC identify some items that needed to be addressed. They approached our situation as if they too were the client, not a know-it-all security company who tries to take advantage of weakness and push you into spending money on stuff

We used Bulldog Security to install a security and fire protection system in our new home. This is not your typical security company. Bulldog provided a personalized approach from start to finish. From the beginning of the project, Bulldog met with us to walk through our home in order to get a sense of our lifestyle and needs. They thoroughly and thoughtfully explained their systems and their process. After moving forward, Bulldog worked closely with our home builder to install the system in a very timely manner. On the day we moved in, Bulldog set up an appointment at our home to walk us through
