Armor Systems & Security

The staff at Armor are always friendly and knowledgeable. The company provides quality service for a fair price and are well organized. It's a pleasure to be their customer!

We recently built a home on Casey Key, Nokomis, Florida. I met with Barry Dorsey, the owner, and was beyond impressed with his professionalism and with all that he had to offer. I liked the idea of being able to give him my budget and he work up a plan to accommodate my needs. Knowing how hands on this company was, that should have convinced us to go with them. Unfortunately, we didn't chose his company because our builder steered us towards someone else.

Boy did we make a huge mistake! The other company's service guy came out to show us how to use our security system and he barely could explain its uses. Then we've had problems with our outside security cameras, as well as, our sound system. Don't make the same mistake we made.choose Armor-systems!

I have used Armor Systems "extensively" over the past almost 3 years. Armor, in my experience, places a high priority on designing and installing audio visual systems that are carefully geared to unique interests of its clients - not too much - not too little. Each Armor staff member - consummately professional, polite, focused and productive. If problems arise after installation - they are there for you - they have even innovated with a 24/7 support service.

Technology leader - Rafy is truly best in class - brilliant, he seeks solutions - not excuses. Andy - crew chief - is "all business" - a focused get it done leader. Barry - owner - effectively flies over the team adding his input and high quality advice along the way. Bottom line - these guys are always welcome in my home - they should be in your home too.

I cannot say enough good things about Armor as well as their team of professionals. Clearly everyone takes cues from the care and consideration of the owners, Barry and Yavonne. They explain everything, are easy to work with and have some of the best ideas in the industry. Every member of their team has been a professional delight to work with and we are very appreciative of the fact we get to work with them!

Barry and his team worked with us to come up with a configuration that works perfectly in our new home. On the final installation day the Armor team (Rafy, Andy, Craig, Adam and Verlin) were highly professional, friendly and very easy to work with. They took great care with everything they did and left things clean and spotless when the job was finished.

We worked with the Armor Team (Barry/Rafy/Craig) from Day one on a 24 month waterfront construction project. Engaging Armor early in the process was invaluable as they were part of the design team. Armor handled AV, Security, Home Control System and Lighting. The design was tailored to our needs while recognizing we weren't the most technologically astute customers.it was a "user friendly" design.

Despite the pulls & pushes of construction, the Armor team never complained and never cost us an extra day of construction time due to builder scheduling changes. Candidly, I don't know how we would have ever gotten to such a successful outcome without the tender loving care of the Armor Team. Our post construction experience with Armor has been equally outstanding.

They are one phone call away from solving any problem.and more often than not it is "owner user error" that's the problem and not the Armor systems. I've built several homes and many/many commercial properties. This was my first experience with integrating the technology team early in the design process and it was a grand slam as far as I'm concerned. I couldn't give a high enough rating to Barry and the Armor Team. I wish their were more than 5 stars on the google rating system.

We had the pleasure of working with the Armor Team (Barry/Rafy/Craig) during a two year waterfront construction project. We engaged Armor in the design phase and continue utilizing Armor in post construction system management. The products & services provided included AV, Security, Lighting and Home Control system management. The best decision we ever made was getting Armor on the design team very early in the process.they became our technology advisor/expert from Day 1.

The home technology is "user friendly" for a homeowner (me) that isn't the most technologically savvy guy in the world. Design and user experience is second to none. Post construction the Armor Team is a phone call away to make the technology onboarding learnings comfortable. We all learn at a different rate.and Armor adjusts their training to each home owners level of capability. I'm still shocked at how easy it was to learn a fairly advanced system. I wish I could rate Armor a "10".they are certainly a "10" in my book.

We have been customers of Armor systems since 2000 when we built our home in Osprey. When we built our home the BEST sub we hired was Armor. They were the only sub that wore shoe covers to prevent getting dirt in our new home. They installed our alarm system as well as stereo throughout the house. Nine years later we built our second home and of course used Armor once again. The installers that worked on our home in 2009 were the same ones that did our home 9 years earlier. That says a lot!

We built a new home recently and met with Barry to design the AV and security system. I was immediately blown away by Barry's knowledge base and professionalism. Now we're 18 months into this new home and the Control 4 system Armor installed is second-to-none. We had a few small issues right after we moved in (most of which were final tweaks). Each time I called we had an Armor representative there the next day.

The team is just as professional and knowledgeable as Barry. I'm so glad we worked with Armor on our system. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a home automation and security solution.

It has been so very easy working with Armor Systems & Security. They are family owned and involved in all aspects of the business. We use both sides of their business - home security and systems automation with ease and confidence. If we have a question or concern, a response is prompt. One thing that really impresses us is the knowledge, respect and quality of their technicians.

While working in our home they covered the floors in the work space and totally cleaned up with their own shop-vac when the job was finished. How often do we see that these days?! They are all very tech savvy and patient with those of us that are not. Best of all - no creepy guys in your home. We have had one security alarm breach in the middle of the night while we were away.

The next day Yavonne was on the phone with us going over the details of the incident - no loss of property resulted as the system performed as intended. We highly recommend Armor Systems & Security.

I have recommended Armor Systems since I built my first retirement home in Lakewood Ranch. Now, after our second retirement home, Armor has taken us to even better products and services. Barry Dorsey and his team just "get it"! They see themselves as partners in your efforts to more fully utilize available technology to make your life more fun and productive. Details will never be lost with Barry's wife, Yavonne, managing all of he administrative details. I consider Barry and Yavonne as friends. They are top shelf!
