How it works
Send us the address
The building address is all we need. We confirm which systems are due.
Get a fixed quote
Priced by system type and size. No work starts until you approve it.
We test on site
An LAFD certified tester runs the test. We coordinate with your manager and tenants on timing.
We file with the city
Results go to LAFD through its reporting system, The Compliance Engine. You get a copy for your records.
Our technicians are never paid on repair volume.
They are paid on accuracy, on time compliance, and customers who stay. A tester with a commission on repairs has a reason to find problems. Ours do not.
If something fails, you get a written list of what failed and a fixed price to correct it. You are free to take that list to anyone.

Doors that are propped open, closers that no longer latch the door, and hold open devices that do not release on alarm. Most are same visit repairs.
What happens if something fails?
