Very pleased with this company and their professional staff. We have two alarm systems in our business location and we can only say they made it easy. They are fast and dependable. Very pleased we found them after calling four companies.

While living in Charleston, we used Charleston Security Systems for our alarm provider. We were very pleased with the installation process and the knowledge the installer had about adding window breaks and cameras to our home. Highly recommend calling them for an estimate before deciding on a company.

I called these guys for a quote and my system was installed the same week! They showed up when they said they would, worked with me in setting up a security system that worked best for me and my needs, and offered a very competitive price! Great local business that still offers fantastic customer service and quality installations!

Wyatt arrived just on time and performed the installation of the security system at my condo in under an hour. He was super informative, professional, and was very understanding when my dog was scared of the ladder! Additionally, the system installed seems to be working great so far and definitely gives me a greater sense on security. Im happy I went with a local company, as well!

We cut the strings with a big nationwide company that left us in protected when 3G communicators were turned off by AT&T. We have used Charleston Security for years and my wife taught one of the owners years ago. The salesman Leon promptly got us under contract and the technician was prompt professional and didn't leave until every detector/contact was checked and all smoke detectors checked. Brand new equipment and local monitoring by a competent staff is what sold me on this company!

Charleston Security Systems is hands down a great decision. Just as I thought it didn't get any better after sales with Leon. Here came Justin, who is the nicest, out going, patient, and professional works I have came a across. He helped make things easy for me to understand, and he also answered all my questions I had about the install that day, and my future installs. He mad sure I knew what my bill would be with the new services I will be adding.
He reached to Leon and explained the new services I will be adding so It would make my process go smoothly. It has been just a great experience all the way around. Charleston Security Systems is definitely the way to go.

We reached out to several companies for security system quotes. Charleston Security Systems stood out above the rest by far due to their pricing, value, responsiveness and professionalism! The salesman, Justin Walker, and our installer, Jimmy Smith, were knowledgeable, professional, friendly and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend this local company!

Our system was moved from our old home to our new home 45 minutes away. My account manager came to our new home to see what we needed. He was completely helpful and very communicative before, during, and after the consultation. Our installers came early and ready to work. The installers that came to install uninstall our device in our old home and install in it in our new home were very nice and very knowledgeable.
They were very helpful and I really appreciated the hard work that they did. I cannot express how much of a great team they make and what a great job they did. Thank you guys so much for securing our new home!

I don't know where to begin with this outstanding company. After an unfortunate incident at my home I called Charleston Security Systems based upon their great reviews and Logan answered. He was at my home in 30 minutes and was ON IT from minute One! After a full assessment of my home, technician Justin came over and did an AMAZING Job at setting up a first rate system. He took great care to make everything just right.
These folks treated me like family and the care and understanding they took at their work was absolutely FIRST RATE! I highly recommend these folks to anyone who wants to do things right and get the job done in a Truly professional manner. AWESOME JOB! GH, SC
