Welcome Home! 5 Essential Security Tips for New Homeowners

Becoming a homeowner is an exciting milestone—Congratulations!


Whether you’ve just purchased your first house or moved into your dream home, it’s a time filled with new beginnings. As you start settling in and making the space your own, it’s also the perfect time to make sure your home is safe and secure.


At J&J Security Services, Corp., we understand that protecting your investment—and your family—is a top priority. That’s why we’ve put together these essential security tips just for new homeowners:


1. Change the Locks (and Update Entry Codes)


You never know who might still have access to your new home. From previous owners to real estate agents or contractors, several people may have had keys or entry codes. One of the first things you should do is have your locks changed or rekeyed and update any keypad codes.


2. Install or Upgrade a Security System


Many homes may not come with a modern security system, or the one in place may be outdated. A professionally installed alarm system with 24/7 monitoring gives you peace of mind and can even lower your homeowner’s insurance. We help customize each system to meet your home’s specific needs—from door and window sensors to motion detectors and glass-break alerts.


3. Add Security Cameras for Visibility


Visible security cameras not only help deter intruders but also let you monitor activity around your home in real time. Whether it’s a delivery at the front door or keeping an eye on the backyard, our smart

camera systems put the control in your hands—right from your smartphone.


4. Light It Up


Good outdoor lighting is a simple yet powerful deterrent against unwanted visitors. We recommend motion-sensor lights around entry points, the garage, and dark corners of your yard. This small investment adds an extra layer of safety to your property.


5. Get to Know Your Neighborhood


Building relationships with your neighbors is one of the best ways to improve your home’s security. A tight-knit community can look out for each other, share important safety info, and offer peace of mind when you’re away.
