One of the most common questions we get: "How much do security guards cost in Dallas-Fort Worth?" The honest answer is that it depends on several factors — and any company giving you a flat rate without understanding your situation is cutting corners.
At EJR Agency, we price competitively for commercial contracts. We're not the cheapest option (cheap security is expensive in the long run), and we're not charging bloated enterprise rates. We're the mid-market provider that delivers reliable, supervised coverage at fair commercial pricing.
What Affects Security Guard Pricing
Armed vs. Unarmed
Armed guards require Level III/IV licensing, additional insurance, and specialized training. Armed service costs more — but not every site needs armed security.
Hours of Coverage
Full-time 24/7 coverage costs more than overnight-only or weekend-only. We help you identify the hours that matter most so you're not overpaying.
Number of Guards
Larger properties or higher-risk sites may require multiple guards per shift. Multi-guard contracts often come with better per-guard rates.
Risk Level
Higher-risk environments require more experienced personnel and may affect pricing.
Contract Length
Longer-term contracts typically offer better rates than emergency or short-term deployments.
Specialized Requirements
Fire watch, construction security, and event security have different operational requirements. Mobile patrol is typically the most cost-effective option.
