Gated Community Security in Sacramento
Dedicated gatehouse officers, roving interior patrol, vendor and guest access control across Sacramento, El Dorado Hills, Granite Bay, Roseville and Folsom gated HOAs. Board-ready monthly reports. CA BSIS PPO #121830.
Stormhammer Security, Inc. builds gated community security programs that boards can defend to residents. We blend part-time gatehouse coverage with roving interior patrol, publish a direct 24/7 dispatch line, and deliver a monthly board packet with entry counts, denied entries, incident logs and CC&R violation photos. Most gated HOAs spend $6,000–$14,000/month for full-coverage programs.
Gatehouse & access control
Every gatehouse officer runs a logged visitor management system — verifies contractor credentials against the HOA-approved vendor list, issues time-limited guest passes, and enforces resident-only amenity access per the CC&Rs.
- Tablet + paper visitor log with timestamped entries
- Vendor credential verification against HOA-approved list
- Time-limited guest passes with photo capture
- Resident denial escalation to board on request
- Emergency-vehicle priority entry protocol
Interior roving patrol
On-foot and vehicle patrol of common areas — pools, clubhouses, gyms, mail rooms, parking areas. Officers carry a master fob per HOA protocol, enforce amenity hours, and log every lockup with a photo. Nightly foot patrol of alleys and pedestrian gates deters juvenile mischief and short-term-rental parties.
Board-ready monthly reports
Every month the board receives a PDF packet: entry counts, denied entries, incident log, CC&R violation photos, response times, and an executive summary the treasurer can drop into the board packet. Report is delivered by the 5th of every month, no follow-up required.
Sacramento-area coverage
Serving HOAs and gated communities across Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Granite Bay, Rancho Cordova, Natomas, Citrus Heights, Antelope and Carmichael. We attend the first board meeting free to scope the proposal.
Frequently asked
Frequently asked questions
What does gated community security cost in Sacramento?+
Dedicated 24/7 gatehouse coverage runs $28–$38/hour per post (roughly $18,000–$27,000/month for continuous coverage). Most Sacramento-area gated HOAs blend a part-time gatehouse (peak hours only) with roving interior patrol for $6,000–$14,000/month — a fraction of the cost of full-time staffing. We build the pricing model with your board.
Do you provide gatehouse access control and visitor management?+
Yes. Every gatehouse officer runs a logged visitor management system (paper log + tablet), verifies contractor and vendor credentials against the HOA-approved list, issues time-limited guest passes, and denies entry to residents-only areas per the CC&Rs. Monthly board reports include entry counts, denied entries, and after-hours activity.
Can you patrol common areas like pools, clubhouses and gyms?+
Yes. Interior roving patrol on foot and in patrol vehicle handles pool-hour enforcement, clubhouse lockup, gym-hour compliance and amenity access control. Officers carry a master key or fob per the HOA's protocol and log every lockup with a timestamp and photo.
What happens if a resident calls for help at 2am?+
Stormhammer Security, Inc. publishes a direct 24/7 dispatch line for the gated community — no answering service. Officers on-property respond in under 3 minutes; if the incident falls outside our scope (medical, felony in progress), the officer calls 911 and stays with the resident until Sacramento PD, Sheriff or fire arrives.
Do you handle CC&R and rule enforcement?+
Officers document violations (parking, noise, unauthorized short-term rentals, unregistered pets in amenity areas) with time/date-stamped photos, but we don't cite residents — that's the HOA management company's role. Our documentation gives the board and the management company clean evidence to act.
Are your officers armed?+
Default gated community officers are unarmed and uniformed — the visible deterrent and professional posture is what boards need most. Armed post officers are available where the HOA board formally requests them (typically communities with recent incidents or resident-VIP protection needs). Every armed officer holds a current California BSIS armed guard card and firearms qualification.
What communities in Sacramento do you already serve?+
We serve HOAs and gated communities across Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Granite Bay, Rancho Cordova, Natomas and Citrus Heights — from 40-unit gated pockets to 800-unit master-planned developments. Client list available on board-signed NDA request.
