Customer Feedback:
Sentry Alert, Inc.
“As an architect and contractor I recommend homeowners use Sentry Alert. They spend time making people feel comfortable with the system. They just finished an installation at one of my client’s homes and worked all weekend to complete the job so that the house would not be left vulnerable.”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
Birkmyer Landscapes
“We had a straight concrete walkway from our front door to the road, and we wanted that softened up a bit, so he and my husband bought a bunch of Mariposa blue slate together at the nursery. We were very active in selecting the plants as well as the design. It ended up a Mediterranean landscape, which is relatively low maintenance, with a drought resistant sprinkler system. We didn’t want grass, becuase we didn’t want to maintain it, but we wanted lots of color out front. Our whole concept has been achieved. It is kind of fun to walk out there and go ‘Wow, this is kind of a neat garden.’ And the cat likes it too. It is really, really nice.”
