Whenever I'm out running around, I always marvel at all the new homes being built. I have often wondered to myself if the new owners are considering home security as they're new house is being constructed.
New home construction is the best time to address home security. You can specify to the builder that you want extra security built around door and window frames. You can also specify triple pane security windows, and solid wood doors with commercial grade deadbolt locks.
It's also a great time to pay attention to your property. You can insist on outdoor lighting, security gates and fences, and landscaping that will be conducive to home security. Lots of tall trees and hedges can be used as hiding places by potential burglars.
During new home construction is always the perfect time to have a home security system professionally installed and to consider ADT professional monitoring. You can really develop your security plan as you're building your house from the ground up!
