Standish Fire & Security is a family-run Plymouth outfit that designs, installs and services fire alarm and security systems — work covered under Massachusetts's electrician licensing, which the state confirms is active for the business. The company says it's been in the fire alarm and security business for 25 years, though it doesn't name a founding date or an individual owner. The written record is thin — three reviews, one from 2022 and two from 2024 — but each one tells a specific story. In a 2022 review, trustees of a 10-unit Plymouth condo building describe hiring Standish (owners Mike and Peg) to maintain the building's fire system after issues with a longtime inspector, and say they'd never been so impressed with a vendor after comparing several options. A 2024 review describes Standish responding the same morning to an intermittent fire alarm fault and fixing it on the spot at a fair price. A third reviewer, echoing the others, calls the company prompt, courteous and reasonable. The BBB lists Standish under its Electrician category with zero complaints, though the bureau hasn't issued it a rating for lack of information — a neutral read rather than a red flag. For fire alarm and security system installation, monitoring or repair work around Plymouth, Pinehills, Redbrook and nearby towns, the record here is small but consistently positive; with only three public reviews on file, it's still worth asking a few of your own questions before committing to a larger system install.
Echoing what has already been said. Prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, conscientious, and reasonable. If only other tradespeople were this good!
I had an intermittent fire alarm going off and couldn’t figure what the cause was. I called Standish and they responded that morning and repaired my problem immediately. They gave me a great price and great service. I highly recommended them for keeping your home or business alarm system in tip top shape ! Thank you
My wife and I are trustees for a 10-unit condo building in Plymouth. We recently hired Standish Fire to maintain the fire system in the building. In our 10 years as members of the condo association we’ve never been so impressed with a vendor. We wholeheartedly recommend Standish Fire. Our building used the same fire inspector for 15 years and there were issues with our system. I set up appointments with a couple fire inspectors in the area for additional opinions, Standish being one of them. Mike and Peg, the owners of Standish Fire, arrived on time for the initial walk down. They were friendly and professional. Their quotes were much more competitive than our previous inspector. Another inspector I met with was a larger, corporate alarm company who refused to give us a quote because our system required electrical work. Luckily both owners of Standish Fire are licensed electricians. Throughout this journey Standish educated us on our various matters like code and insurance liability we hadn’t previously considered or even looked at. They were truly watching out for the safety of the building’s residents and business owners. As we explored switching to Standish Fire, the Plymouth Fire Chief sent out a notice to our board about several violations. The notice was sent on a Thursday with a plan to do a site visit on the following Monday. The majority of the building owners agreed switching to Standish Fire was the right choice — fair pricing, prompt service, having the necessary licenses and having equipment we needed in-stock were all factors that made Standish Fire a clear and strong choice. We were blown away on Friday afternoon when Standish Fire called after we shared the Chief's notice with them. They offered to come over the weekend to install all of the equipment we needed to bring us into compliance for Monday’s walk down with the Chief. They had equipment in stock that our previous inspector wasn't able to source for months. They even made themselves available on Monday morning. By the time Monday arrived our system was totally in compliance and everyone was happy. We could go on! If you’re in the Plymouth area we highly recommend Standish Alarm. We look forward to working with them for years to come.
