Security inspection/audit

After a recent attempted break-in, we thought it was time to consider a security and monitoring service. But before we signed up for anything, I wanted an unbiased assessment of what our needs might be (instead of a fear-mongering sales pitch - which I got over the phone from a couple of the larger companies). After reading the reviews on Homestars, I called Frank at WOBI. Frank spent about an hour walking around the interior and exterior of the house, pointing out potential vulnerabilities, some of which I hadn't considered. He made several suggestions to fix these problems, none of which required major work or money, and all of which he suggested I do myself. We also talked about what security and monitoring services would do for us - and, more importantly, what they wouldn't. I believe Frank gave me honest, balanced assessment. I'd agree with the review that says "he is not out to sell you anything except good advice and customer service". Highly recommended.

Security audit

Frank and I arranged a convenient time for a visit to conduct a security audit. We went all over the house, and he pointed out the various points of vulnerability and provided good advice in friendly way.
I asked Frank to come back and install some door security hardware, and he did a terrific job! He took the time to make sure the door was hanging correctly in the frame, and made several adjustments. Now my doors look great and operate perfectly.

Home Security Review

We just moved into our first home and as excited as we were, we also had concerns about the neighbourhood and its' troubled history.

We had found lots of good but conflicting opinions on the internet about how to secure our home. We needed some good, honest and unbiased help.

Initially we had spoken with Frank over the phone and he was very open and helpful and even gave us free advice. He noted and explained why an in-home meeting would be more helpful and we worked out a fair fee. Our impression of him was that he was definitely an honest and straightforward guy.

We setup a meeting with Frank quickly and he was right on time. As we proceeded with the inspection, Frank gave us simple, level-headed suggestions to improving our security. He gave logical and clear explanations for his choices and answered any questions we had. And we had a lot. He also explained to us why certain precautions that we wished to take was overkill or why it would not work based on our house.

Frank is not a scare-tactics type of guy. He works by giving honest suggestions and clear advice. He is not out to sell you anything except good advice and customer service.

You would definitely not regret the understanding and peace of mind that he imparts.

Crime Deflection Inspection

With Frank's extensive knowledge and experience, he was quickly able to identify potential entry points for thieves. He offered numerous simple & practical recommendations to help us make our home more secure, many of which we were able to undertake ourselves. Friendly, personable and never pushy, it was a pleasure to have Frank give his honest opinion on our home.

Security Check

We moved into a new neighbourhood, one with a history of trouble, and we wanted to make sure our house was a safe as possible. We contacted Frank and, as it turns out, we couldn't have been better served. Frank is a warm, engaging man, clearly committed to his profession who, because of his experience, was quick to spot the problem areas in our home and offer affordable practical solutions to solve them. We have no reservations recommending Frank's quality service to anyone concerned about the security of their home or their possessions.

Home Protection Assessment & Implementation

We were in the process of upgrading our home protection and we went to the Home Stars website on the referral of a friend to research various security companies. It is here that we made contact with WOBI and to our pleasant surprise, Frank who was an old professional acquaintance of ours who we had lost touch with.

When the WOBI rep came over he performed an evaluation of our home protection needs and made various recommendations regarding our overall home security package.

In addition to window protection measures that were implemented, the WOBI rep observed issues with prior work done on our doors by another company a few years back and made adjustments to the entry doors as a result which improved our home security.

Overall, we found WOBI's professionalism and product knowledge very reassuring. We were very pleased about the changes made to our home protection. We would highly recommend WOBI for any of your security needs.

Review of Security, Installation of locks, door gardians, and bars

Surveyed my property and made rcommendations. Gave me a detailed list of what to do and also the option to install myself. I decided to let Frank do the work and he did it in a timely and professional manner. He even cleaned up his work. He installed door guardians, new and stronger strike plates, fixed the jambs, and installed a set of window security bars. Overall, a great experience and I will have Frank back to some additional work. My family and I will sleep better knowing we have good protection from potential break ins.

I feel more comfortable know

Home safety/security firm

My husband & I have been talking about hiring someone to make our home more secure for many months. My brother-in-law who is a cop suggested that we do so given what he encounters on a regular basis. Although we have a home alarm system, it is not perfect as the robbers can be gone by the time the cops arrive. We hired Frank after seeing his reviews on HomeStar. He was professional, knowledgeable and very passionate about what he did. He never forced us to get anything unnecessary, and seemed very honest. My brother-in-law (the cop) also talked to him, and he knew his stuff. After using his services, we feel a lot more secure in our home. Bottom line, you may be able to spend less $$$ if you were doing this yourself. However, would you actually come around doing this? I would recommend using WOBI!
