How much do security guards cost in Houston?

Standard pricing is $50 per hour per guard, with a two-hour minimum. The final rate depends on your location and the specifics of the job, and it is confirmed when we match you with the security partner who will cover your site.

How soon can you put a guard on site in Houston?

Tell us the day you need cover and we will come back to you within one business day with a quote and a matched partner. Longer notice gives you more choice of guard, so it is worth calling as early as you can.

Can I book unarmed, armed or off-duty officers in Houston?

You can ask for unarmed guards, armed guards or off-duty law enforcement officers. Unarmed guards suit most commercial sites. Armed and off-duty officers depend on state licensing rules and on which partners have that staffing available, so we confirm what you can have rather than promising it up front.

Do I have to sign a long contract for security in Houston?

No. We book one-off events, short-term cover of under a month, and ongoing programmes that run for months or years. The two-hour minimum is the only commitment on a single booking.

Bannerman in Houston

Houston asks more of a security programme than most cities, because so much of the work sits on industrial and medical sites rather than in offices. Energy firms along the Katy Freeway need contractor screening and gate control on sites that run through the night. The Texas Medical Center campus needs officers who can hold a calm front desk while people arrive under stress. Warehouses and yards near the ship channel need patrols that cover ground rather than a single post. These are different jobs, and the guard who suits one rarely suits all three.

We arrange and manage that cover for you: front-desk and reception posts, entry and contractor management, foot and vehicle patrols, and overnight standing guards. You set schedules and send site-specific instructions through our dashboard, so a new officer arrives knowing which door is yours and who is allowed through it.

We work with security partners across Houston and the surrounding metro, from Downtown, Midtown and Uptown out to the Energy Corridor, Sugar Land, Katy, Pasadena and The Woodlands. Tell us the site, the hours and the type of guard, and we come back within one business day with a quote and a matched partner.
