I’ve been a customer of ADT-Security Solution Services for the past 17 years, and my experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, Sally has been a cornerstone of their outstanding customer service. She is always helpful and kind, making every interaction a pleasure. Recently, I had the opportunity to upgrade my security system, and technician David came to assist me. He was not only quick and efficient but also very personable, making the upgrade process seamless and stress-free. His professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the installation. I wholeheartedly recommend ADT-Security Solution Services for anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy security. Their commitment to customer satisfaction, paired with a knowledgeable team, truly sets them apart in the industry. Whether you need to install a new system or upgrade an existing one, you can feel confident in their service.

I had such a great experience with my ADT representative Lauren. She actually stopped by my house at the perfect time — I had just moved in and getting a security system set up was already on my to-do list. Instead of having to research it, make calls, and schedule appointments, she made the whole process incredibly easy and convenient right on the spot. She was extremely knowledgeable and patiently answered all of my many questions. She also offered great suggestions that helped me think through what would work best for my home. What could have been another stressful moving task ended up being quick, simple, and something I was able to check off my list immediately. She was polite, professional, and very easy to work with. I really appreciated how smooth she made the entire process. Highly recommend!

I had such a great experience working with my ADT representative Johann. He was incredibly informative, taking the time to explain everything clearly and answer all of my questions without ever making me feel rushed. He was also so kind and patient throughout the entire process, which made a huge difference. What could have been a stressful decision ended up being a really smooth and enjoyable experience because of him. I feel confident and comfortable with my choice to go with ADT, and that’s entirely thanks to his professionalism and support. Highly recommend!

Lauren came to my new home in Wilmette. She gave me a really great deal for my security system. She did my security system, smart home and my cameras, google cams and made everything compatible under one app. She made it really easy and explained it clearly and made it seem like she actually cared to help me. Thank you so much!!!

Lauren came to my door and made the process really easy. She was very courteous and kind. She helped me with converting over my old system and got it updated and explained it very clearly i didn’t even have to go online to shop and even set me up for a rush next day installation and got my new home protected
