The partnership will combine Nest hardware and services with Google technology and ADT's installation, service, and professional monitoring network, and is focused on residential and small business security. The products and services will be available for both do-it-yourself and professional installation. 

ADT expects to offer customers certain Google devices this year, and will expand the integration in 2021, according to a statement. 

ADT has surged roughly 9% year-to-date through Friday's close.
