Montclair's arts-district downtown, Victorian housing stock, and active small-business community each come to us for different reasons. The common thread: boutique service, real expertise, 40 years of experience. Alarms, video surveillance, fire alarms, access control, and 24/7 monitoring — installed and serviced by owners who answer your calls personally.
DMP Authorized DealerSilent Knight Installer40+ Years in NJ3rd Generation Family-Owned
Bloomfield Avenue's retail and restaurants. The residential streets of Upper Montclair and Walnut Street neighborhoods. Small professional practices, art galleries, and studios. Montclair is a community that appreciates both craft and substance — and that's what we bring.
Certified Protection has been a fixture of New Jersey security for more than four decades. What started in 1983 is now a third-generation family-owned company where the owners still personally service every account — no call centers, no routed tickets, no one treating your property like a number in a database.

Why Montclair Chooses a Family-Owned Specialist
The national security companies spend most of their budget on marketing, not on servicing accounts. When something goes wrong with your system — a false alarm at 2am, a camera that won't connect, a fire inspector raising a concern — you get a call center, a ticket, and a scheduling window three weeks out.
That's not how we work. When you hire Certified Protection for your Montclair property, the owners personally handle your account. You have direct lines. Response time is measured in hours, not weeks. And the work gets done right the first time because the people doing it have been doing it for decades. That's why our clients in Montclair and across New Jersey have been with us for generations.
