Emergency service for Washington properties
Many DC buildings, especially in Columbia Heights, Adams Morgan, U Street and Capitol Hill, still run older buzzer and telephone entry systems that were added to historic structures. Newer buildings in NoMa and Navy Yard have more complex integrated systems. We service both, and we know how to work within the limits of older masonry buildings.

How emergency dispatch works
- 1. Call 301-363-7347. Tell us the address, which doors or devices are affected, and when it started.
- 2. We confirm the flat dispatch rate and give you an arrival estimate before anyone is sent.
- 3. A licensed technician secures the opening, finds the cause, and fixes it. Any parts or extra work are quoted before we do them.
- 4. You get a short written summary of what failed, what we fixed, and anything else likely to fail next.
