Over 45 Years of Service
Matson Alarm has proudly served California’s Central Valley since 1974, when brothers Larry and Mike Matson founded the company with one goal in mind—to protect Valley families and businesses. For 45 years, we operated as a family-owned and privately held company rooted in the community. As the Matsons approached retirement, they chose to merge with Pye-Barker Fire & Safety, a nationally respected life safety company established in 1946. This partnership marked a new chapter, expanding our reach and resources while maintaining our local presence and trusted reputation. Now part of a growing national network, we are better equipped than ever to meet the evolving needs of our customers, without compromising the personal service that has always set us apart.
What hasn’t changed is everything that matters. Our customers still hear the same familiar voices when they call, and they’re greeted by the same experienced technicians and security consultants they’ve come to trust. We continue to offer top-quality, customized security solutions, including fire alarm systems, video surveillance, access control, and more. With over 75 years of combined industry experience, the strength of a national network, and a passionate local team, Matson Alarm is proud to move forward, serving you better than ever.
