Secure Your Complex or Estate

Theft and vandalism are perhaps the two scariest words for a business owner. The mere idea that someone can destroy the property or structure that you have worked for in the span of a few minutes is daunting. Because of this, Associated Group Remodeling is dedicated to helping home owners and businesses become more aware and better equipped in order to protect their property.

As with anything, there are multiple ways to go about it. At Associated Group Remodeling, we have researched the best and most effective way/s to protect one’s investment. In our research, we have found that Automated Entry and Exit Security Systems, Call Boxes/Card Access Systems and Surveillance and Video Recording are not only the most effective, but the most cost efficient.

Automated Entry and Exit Security Systems are security cameras that can be set up to view traffic as it as both entering and leaving the property. These security cameras work well for large residential estates, apartment complexes and business offices. Call Boxes and Card Access Systems are most efficient when a property or office has main points of entry. This security system requires that the person either call to gain access, or use their pre-programmed keycard or remote to enter the premise. Another way to increase security is by surveillance and video recording. Surveillance and Video Recording works especially well for problem areas that may not be well lit or are obscured from view.

If you are thinking about increasing the security for your home, estate, apartment complex or business, please do not hesitate to give Associated Group Remodeling a call. Our security technicians will work with you to map out problems areas and eliminate them!

Are You Safe?


For most people, when thinking about our homes, family and children, their protection and safety is of number one concern. Because of this, we have decided in this blog to give you statistics from the Phoenix Police Department so that you can be the judge in order to determine if your family and property are safe.

The latest statistics that we have access to are from 2009. According to the Phoenix Police, in 2009 the population for Phoenix Arizona was 1,679,895. This number has grown from 1,504,995 in 2004. In 2009, the Phoenix Police Station reported 66,054 property crimes, 16,281 burglaries, 39,643 cases of theft, 9,693 reports of auto theft and 437 cases of arson.  All of these numbers are what have been reported, many crimes are committed that are never reported. While these numbers in contrast to the population size may not seem to be that significant, it only takes once to be one of these statistics.

Associated Group Remodeling is dedicated to helping both homeowners and business owners protect their investment and their personal property. Associated Group Remodeling offers a wide array of security protection that can be tailored to meet the needs of both residential home owners as well as business owners. These products range from home security camera systems, key card entries to automated entry and exit systems for larger estates.

If you have ever thought about implementing security systems, take a look at the various methods of security that Associated Group Remodeling offers. Their security technicians can meet with you to create a security layout for your residence or commercial property; they even have the ability to upgrade outdated systems.

Surveillance and Video Recording for Homeowners


While large commercial properties and businesses have recognized the benefits of surveillance and security video recording for many years, private home owners are now starting to realize the value as well. Now more than ever, it is important to do everything that you can to not only protect yourself and your family, but your property as well. Home surveillance and video recording make this not only possible, but it is also financially feasible.

It was found by the U.S Bureau of Justice that over 75% of all crimes that are committed are related to property crime-for home owners and essentially anyone who owns property this statistic is incredibly scary. The comforting factor is that with surveillance and video recording, you can now be prepared and protect your property ahead of time.

Studies have shown that homes and facilities that utilize surveillance and video recording are less likely to be vandalized or broken into. This is because surveillance recording devices are visible; this therefore deters the thief from choosing YOUR property because their chances of being caught and prosecuted have greatly increased.

At Associated Group Remodeling our security technicians know that each home or business brings with it a unique set of challenges and needs. Our security experts can work with you to examine your property to determine its vulnerable points and therefore strengthen them. It doesn’t matter if you have concern for one specific area of your property and require the use of one security camera or require plans for multiple security cameras.

Our security technicians at Associated Group Remodeling have years of experience in the Phoenix area. At Associated Group Remodeling we do our best to not only work within your budget, but to also deliver the highest quality products available on the market. If you have ever considered adding security cameras to your home, do not hesitate to call us, we look forward to hearing from you!

Remote Control Access Security Systems-is it right for you?



If you have a security gate, then a Remote Controlled Access Security System might be just the thing for you! Remote Controlled Access Security Systems activate and work hand in hand with Access Control Security Systems. Most people are familiar with keycard swipe entries, while these are very beneficial, these can also be a bit frustrating. Keycard entries require the person in the vehicle to not only stop (which for some people in a hurry can be a nuisance) but to also roll down their window, lean over, and swipe their keycard to gain access.

While this may not seem to be a big deal, believe it or not the climate plays a roll in the ease of keycard use. Let’s face it, Phoenix can get a tad on the hot side, and if rolling down a window and being exposed to the weather can be at all avoided-then go for it! With a Remote Control Access Security System, the driver does not have to stop at the entry to swipe a card nor do they have to roll down their window. Overall Remote Control Access Security Systems are much more functional! Remote Control Access Security Systems work by simply pushing the button on the Remote Control as the driver approaches the gate, the gate will then be activated and opened to allow access.

Another benefit of Remote Controlled Access Security Systems is that they increase the traffic flow for properties and estates that recognize large numbers of traffic. The Remote Controlled Access Security System will only let pre-approved people on your property. In contrast to keycard or coded entry systems, lines will not develop while other drivers wait their turn to enter their code, because of this Remote Control Access Security Systems increase flow of traffic.

If you are thinking about adding a Remote Controlled Access Security System to your Gated Security System, please do not hesitate to give us a call at Associated Group Remodeling. Our team of experts will meet with you and can discuss new security plans or ways of upgraded previously existing security features.
