“Stormhammer's nightly patrol logs go straight into our board packet. Calls dropped, residents feel safer, and the GPS-verified tours give us something to hand the insurer. Best vendor decision the board has made in years.”
“Sprinkler went down on a Friday night. Stormhammer had a fire-watch officer on site within 90 minutes, fully NFPA compliant, with a written log for the fire marshal Monday morning.”
“Cut our overnight security spend almost in half and the residents actually see the patrol vehicle on the property now. The photo-verified arrivals are a game changer for our owners' reporting.”
Stormhammer Security, Inc. is the residential security service Sacramento neighborhoods actually see driving by. Every shift produces a timestamped GPS-verified report with photo checks of your driveway, side gates, garage and back yard. HOAs, gated communities and informal block groups split coverage across 6–12 homes to bring per-home cost under $200/month while still getting real single-family patrol coverage every night, all year.

We attend the first meeting free, propose a custom route (school-hour perimeter, midnight driveway sweep, vacation-home focus), and deliver a board-ready monthly report.

Frequently asked
Frequently asked questions
What do residential security services cost in Sacramento?+
Residential security starts at $15/night for scheduled drive-by patrol on a shared route (multiple homes per shift). Dedicated single-home patrol runs $28–$45/hour depending on shift length. Stormhammer Security, Inc. publishes flat monthly rates for HOAs and neighborhood groups — most Sacramento streets can hire a full-night patrol for under $200/month per home when 8+ neighbors split the coverage.
What's included in a residential patrol shift?+
Every shift includes: perimeter driveway and side-yard checks, gate/garage door verification, mail and package pickup logging (opt-in), suspicious-vehicle plate capture, and a timestamped GPS-verified patrol report emailed within 12 hours of shift end. Homeowners can request custom checks (side gate closed, back porch light on, pool gate latched) and receive photo confirmation.
How fast do you respond to a resident's alarm or call?+
Average on-property response time is under 8 minutes anywhere in the Sacramento city limits, and under 15 minutes in Elk Grove, Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Rancho Cordova and Natomas. Every residential subscriber gets a direct dispatch line — no answering service, no phone tree.
Do you work with HOAs and neighborhood watch groups?+
Yes. Stormhammer Security, Inc. contracts directly with Sacramento HOAs, gated communities and informal neighborhood watch groups. We attend the first board or block meeting free, build a custom patrol route with the group's priorities (school-hour perimeter, night driveway checks, vacation homes) and provide a monthly board-ready report with incident counts and photo logs.
Are your residential guards armed?+
The default residential officer is unarmed and uniformed — best for driveway checks, vacation watch and neighborhood presence. Armed residential officers are available on request for estate protection and post-incident coverage, with 24-hour notice. All officers hold current California BSIS guard cards and are supervised by our BSIS PPO qualified manager.
Can I schedule vacation watch while I'm out of town?+
Yes — vacation watch is our most-requested residential service. Schedule online 48 hours before your trip: we perform 2 timestamped checks per night (one before midnight, one after), photograph the front and back of the property, pick up mail/packages if requested, and email a daily report. Rates start at $15/night for standard vacation watch.
How is this different from ADX Alarm Systems or Ring?+
ADX Alarm Systems and Ring dispatch police (average Sacramento PD response for a burglary alarm: 45–90 minutes) or a monitoring center in another state. Residential patrol puts a live California-licensed officer physically driving your street multiple times per night with a photo log. It's a deterrent, not just a notification — most subscribers cancel their monitoring within 60 days because insurance rewards physical patrol more than alarms.
