What Our Customers Say
5.0 stars on Google with 38+ verified reviews. A representative selection of recent feedback from across our service area.
★★★★★Free home security assessment turned into a real eye-opener. They identified that my back patio door could be lifted off its track in 5 seconds, my garage side door wasn't locked, and my mudroom deadbolt was builder-grade Kwikset. We did the upgrades in priority order over two visits, total under $1,200. Wife sleeps better.
★★★★★I have a Toyota Sienna with a smart key fob and after losing my only spare, the dealer wanted $720 and a 4-day wait. Colorado Dependable came to my driveway, programmed a new fob in 45 minutes, $385 total. The new key has worked perfectly for 6 months.
★★★★★We installed Yale Assure smart locks on three doors in our DTC office building. The team coordinated with our IT for the Wi-Fi mesh and access control integration, and trained our front desk staff on the management app. Whole project completed in one afternoon.
