I have been working with Great Lakes and the team of folks there for the past six years. From top to bottom, the company is staffed with professional and capable talent. I have worked with them On maintenance issues, problem-solving, and new installation. Keith Matot has been outstanding to deal with. Dusty Smith is professional, informative, thorough and determined to find solutions. Sterling Shepperd is always responsive, sensitive to issues, and helpful. I heartily recommend this team and company.

Great Lakes is a wonderful, thoughtful and amazing company to work with. We have had to call them for many day time/ late night emergencies and we are always taken care of right away & receive follow up calls. They have always gone above & beyond for my company for service, scheduling and help with upcoming projects. Thank you Great Lakes!

We have been using GLBS for over 10 years now and their service team has been outstanding from Jen and Sterling in the office to all of their service technicians. They handle all of our life safety and fire system inspections and have recently installed all of the new systems and door controls in our newly added wing of the building which have been flawless.

Terrible customer service. After one week of waiting for the customer rep to get back to me I called them back to schedule a appointment for them to take a look at my system. I was told they had already come out and looked the system. It would not be something they could handle or that they would not be interested in working on it. Wow!, that's funny because they never got into the building to look at the system nor was I informed the had even come by.

What is even more unprofessional is they called me and scheduled a appointment the same day I called them and said they would be out to look at it, they never came nor called to say that they would not be there. Thanks a lot, I would never recommend this company to any work.
