Keep your kids and house safe


Referral from Jens List member elanahirschman@yahoo.com


“In the past year we have seen a rise of burglaries. In Dec we upgraded our alarm system. When dealing with ADT, I requested to work with someone who was honest ,reliable and not going to pitch us or try to use scare tactics to purchase more than we needed. Nick Verdina with ADT is your guy, if you are interested in getting an alarm system. I am not connected or related to ADT or Nick in any way. I am just a happy customer who can sleep at night knowing we took that extra step to protect our home and family. He can be contacted at nverdina@adt.com or 805-279-9047.
