About Us

SERVICING FIRE ALARM AND SECURITY SYSTEMS FOR OVER 25 YEARS!

Somerset Fire Alarm and Security, based in Hagerstown, Maryland, is a Women-Owned Small Business provider of comprehensive life safety and security solutions for businesses and homes. Since our founding, we have been committed to protecting what matters most: lives, property, and peace of mind. We are dedicated to doing the job correctly the first time, on budget, and on time.

After spending the last 25-plus years working for the two biggest fire alarm and security companies on the planet, Steve Quantock, our Founder and President, decided it was time for a change.

In 2017, Somerset Fire Alarm and Security is what arose from that change, and with it brought quality fire alarm and security services to the industry we love.

We specialize in designing, installing, and maintaining fire and life safety systems, security systems, video surveillance, and access control – tailored to meet the unique needs of each customer. Whether safeguarding a small business, a large commercial facility, or a family home, our team ensures that every system is built with precision, compliance, and long-term reliability in mind.

Shawn Perry Sr.State Farm - Maugansville

The team at Somerset did a fantastic job setting up our alarm system and supporting our office needs! Would definitely recommend!

Pen-Mar Realtors

Steve is the go-to expert for fire alarm installations in unconventional construction projects. My 12-bedroom, 11,000 sq. ft. mansion-turned-yoga-retreat center was too complex for most fire alarm companies, but Steve’s insight, patience, and execution were unmatched. Some connections I made at Somerset, including Steve, have become lifelong friends.

We have used Somerset for several projects with mutual clients. They get the job done on budget and on time. We've been very pleased with them and would highly recommend them for your life safety needs.

Jason RappaportOwner Innovative Inc.

When looking for a security system for my home I contacted 9 or 10 different companies. Most wanted to give me a quote over the phone based on the number of windows and doors I had. I didn’t feel that process was appropriate for our home, but when I called Somerset, they did just the opposite. They came to our home, spent a significant amount of time going through the home, asking questions about our needs, and then coming up with a plan. The same responsiveness, willing to help attitude has continued since the original meeting. Whether I have a question on the system, the app or anything else I can call or email and get a quick response. If you want a quick and dirty security assessment, call one of the big boys. If you want someone to provide a security system that addresses your needs, and the unique aspects of your home call Somerset Fire Alarm and Security.

Steve and his wonderful team assisted Hospice of Washington County with the fire alarm system in our new Doey's House. Their staff is knowledgeable, courteous and supportive. We thoroughly enjoyed working with them and are pleased to have them as one of our vendors.
