Questions about warehouse & industrial security pricing

How much does warehouse & industrial security cost in the US?
The reference price runs from $8,000 to $12,800 USD per guard post/month, pre-tax. Warehouse/industrial posts price like standard guard posts. Gate control, dock coverage and 24/7 operations define how many posts a facility needs.
What factors change the price of warehouse & industrial security?
The city (prevailing wages and cost of living), the schedule and coverage required, armed vs unarmed staffing, officer profile and experience, and the risk level of the site. That's why it pays to compare several quotes.
Why should I distrust a very cheap quote?
The loaded labor cost of a single 12-hour post is roughly $7,900 per month (a $16/hr market wage + payroll taxes, workers' comp, insurance, uniforms and supervision). A rate far below that usually means staff without insurance or benefits, or an unlicensed operator — a legal risk for the client.
Do the prices include tax?
These are pre-tax reference prices. Whether sales tax applies to security services depends on the state; each company's formal quote will itemize any applicable taxes.
