How getting home security quotes works
Three steps. The second is the part most quote sites skip.
- 1
You answer a few questions
Six short steps, about a minute. Four are about the job itself, then the property location, then how to reach you. Nothing to download and no account to create.
- 2
We call once to confirm
One specialist from HomeQuoteDesk checks the details and answers your questions. This call is not a sales pitch, and no contractor has your number at this point.
- 3
Local pros quote you directly
We introduce you to license-checked contractors who cover your area and do that type of work. They contact you with quotes. Comparing them is free and you are not obliged to hire.
What affects your home security quote
These are the things we ask about, and we ask about them because each one changes what a contractor will charge. Knowing your answers before you call makes the quotes you get more accurate.
- What are you looking for?
- Options we ask about: a full alarm system, cameras only, video doorbell or smart locks, upgrading what i have.
- Do you want professional monitoring?
- Monitoring means someone responds when the alarm trips. Options we ask about: yes, monitored, no, i will monitor it myself, want the difference explained.
- How big is the home?
- Options we ask about: apartment or small home, two to three bedrooms, four or more bedrooms.
- What is prompting this?
- Options we ask about: a recent break-in nearby, general peace of mind, just moved in, insurance discount.
We do not publish price ranges for home security because an honest range depends on your ZIP code, the size and access of the property, and what local labour and materials cost this month. A contractor who has seen your details can tell you; a national average cannot.
Common questions
- Is it really free to get home security quotes?
- Yes. HomeQuoteDesk never charges homeowners, and there is no charge for being matched or for the quotes themselves. We are paid by the contractors in our network, not by you. You are also never obliged to hire anyone — comparing quotes and walking away costs nothing.
- Will I get bombarded with calls?
- No. One specialist from HomeQuoteDesk calls you once to confirm the details of your request. Only after that do we introduce you to local contractors. We do not publish or sell your number to a call list, which is what causes the five-calls-in-ten-minutes experience people associate with quote sites.
- How many quotes will I get?
- Usually two to four, depending on how many vetted contractors cover your ZIP code and do that specific type of work. We would rather send you three genuine quotes than six from companies who cannot actually take the job.
- How are the contractors checked?
- Before a contractor receives any homeowner details, we confirm they hold the license their state requires for the work and that their liability insurance is current. We re-check as those expire. We do not vet on price or workmanship, so you should still read reviews and ask for references before you sign anything.
- How quickly will someone contact me?
- We aim to call within business hours on the same day you submit, and requests marked urgent — an active leak, no heat, water coming in — go to the front of the queue. Requests submitted overnight are picked up the next morning.
- What information do I have to give?
- Your name, phone number, email address, and the property address, plus a few questions about the job itself. We need the address because contractors quote based on location and travel, and the phone number because confirming details by voice takes a minute and prevents a wasted site visit.
- Can I change my mind after submitting?
- Yes. Tell the specialist when they call and we will stop there — no contractors are introduced. You can also ask us to stop contacting you at any point, on any call, and we will not call again.
What we are, and what we are not
HomeQuoteDesk is a free matching service for US homeowners, not a contractor. We do not carry out home security work ourselves, do not set contractor prices, and do not supervise the job. Any agreement for work is directly between you and the contractor you choose.
Other systems, repairs and protection work
Homeowners often quote these together, which can save a second visit.
