“The new jobs are starting from $16-17 compared to the $19-20 from years ago... This industry is a race to the bottom... big companies buying out all the smaller companies... dictate wages.”
The single biggest predictor of a sleeping graveyard guard is the pay rate on their W-2. Stormhammer pays above the Sacramento market, runs supervisor spot-checks between 1 AM and 4 AM, and ships a timestamped photo-verified PDF to your inbox before 7 AM. If a tour point is missed, you know before you're at your desk.
We do not deploy armed guards. Ever.
Every Stormhammer officer is a professionally trained, de-escalation-first presence — designed to protect your property, your tenants, and your civil-liability posture. Visible deterrence without the legal exposure of firearms on your site.
Random supervisor visits, mandatory GPS scans at moving checkpoints, and body-cam photo captures. Missed scans trigger a call to the officer within minutes.
Our Sacramento dispatch has a floating standby unit every night. Fill time is typically under 45 minutes — versus a national broker's several-hour scramble.
Yes. A photo-verified PDF report with GPS timestamps hits your inbox by 7 AM every morning.
