Protecting families in the southeast 1974

We've been protecting families in the southeast since 1974. What began as a one-man operation in Dublin, Georgia has grown to a team of 100 and is still owned by the Allgood family. The name Cingo literally means to secure and surround, conveying our commitment to protect you and your family. And we have a lot of respect for those who take it upon themselves to make protection a part of what they do, too. That's why we've launched Circle & Shield, our award to those who help make the world a better place, a safer place.

Cingo operates in markets throughout Georgia and South Carolina. You will find us in Atlanta, Augusta, Charleston, Douglas, Dublin, Milledgeville, Savannah, Vidalia, Waycross and all points in between.

We attribute our success to a simple business plan built on core values that shape our culture and guide our actions and customer commitments to ensure a flawless customer experience.

Redefining home protection

always with you in mind

Icon for

Only Cingo provides total protection for you - from pest to prowlers and fires to fire ants. Our promise is to protect your home the exact way that we protect our own. You will find zero limitations, zero gaps in coverage and zero loss leaders so we can upsell later.

Icon for

Select a plan, schedule your initial visit, and start protection on Day One. Time is the one thing that you can't take back, so don't waste it by falling for a "free inspection" which is fancy talk for a sales visit. Cingo your home as early as tomorrow and secure your peace of mind.

Icon for

Home protection is possible with one company and one professional. Our team of installers will get you set up on the first visit and then hand off your ongoing visits to your assigned protection specialist. Multiple visits by multiple people is a hassle and that is not how we do business...but it is how everyone else does it.
