National aggregator pricing page. Quotes are unweighted averages from unrelated firms across the country — not a Sacramento operational rate.
View aggregator listing →Aggregators publish broad $25–$50/hour national bands because they average low-cost markets against high-cost ones. In Sacramento, a rate that undercuts the local labor market is almost always a signal — the guard on your property is being paid at the bottom of the range, turning over every few weeks, working double shifts, and functionally disengaged. Stable pricing from a local firm is not a premium; it is the mechanism by which the same trained officer keeps showing up alert, night after night.
We do not deploy armed guards. Ever.
Every Stormhammer officer is a professionally trained, de-escalation-first presence — engineered to protect corporate, retail, and commercial assets with strict compliance, safe "Observe and Report" frameworks, and zero firearm-related civil liability.
Real Sacramento unarmed guard pricing typically ranges based on shift length, post complexity, and coverage hours. Rates significantly below the local market almost always indicate a broker subcontracting to minimum-wage staff. We provide a written scoped rate after a short assessment — no auction pricing.
Aggregator averages blend low-cost rural markets with major metros and rarely reflect the true loaded cost of a compliant, insured, W-2 guard in Sacramento. The rate a broker quotes is what they need to win the lead — not what you actually pay after minimums, fuel, and turnover replacement fees.
Standard rates cover most shift structures. Overnight, holiday, and short-notice deployments carry defined premiums documented in the written scope — never surprise line items.
Ask for the PPO license, ask whether officers are W-2 or subcontracted, and read verified local reviews on our Yelp profile before signing anything.
Locally managed. 100% unarmed. Sacramento-based operations since 2007.
