If you are looking for a quality security system installed by a professional with an eye for detail and great customer service skills, call Bill at Tampa Bay Security, Inc. You can shop around all you want but you can save a lot of time by taking my advice and just call Bill. I do not believe you will find a better deal and security equipment with 24 hour monitoring than what William Orendore (Bill) can provide. To all it may concern. Our home was burglarized and within an hour and a half; the perpetrators went though everything in our home. On that day we lost our privacy and security. It traumatized my wife and she didn't want to stay in our home. As a result, I began looking for a security company to monitor our home. After several quotes and discussions over the phone we selected Tampa Bay Security, Inc. based on the sincerity and patience of William Orendore (Bill). He was the only vendor who took the time to look at our home before giving us a quote for everything we needed to protect our home, nothing more and nothing less. Bill didn't use high pressure tactics or tricks to sell us items or features we didn't need. In fact he actuall explained why some features we wanted were redundant and unnecessary and expressed this in simple terms for our understanding. When we gave Bill the go ahead to install the system, he installed it in one day testing each component as he installed it. When he finished, he returned all funiture to its previous location and cleaned all areas of work. Prior to leaving Bill gave us a complete overview of the system again and explained its operation in detail. We are more than satisfied with the system, installation and his customer service skills. As I stated above, we would strongly recommend Tampa Bay Security, Inc. to anyone needing a home security system. Take my advice and JUST CALL BILL.

Job well done. Bill did an excellent job in installing the alarm system as we agreed upon. He was punctual, courteous, professional and efficient. Since some of the equipment (panels) were new models he made sure to check with "Support" for proper operations. I don't know too much about alarms and Bill was very patient in explaning the process and answering all the questions I had. He stayed as long as necessary to make sure the system was working properly. I'll recommend Bill to anyone needing an alarm system installed.

Bill of Tampa Bay Security was able to detect and repair a problem that ADT couldn't after 4 service calls, needless replacement of devices and needless expenses. It took nearly 3 years for ADT to correct the problem and they still couldn't. He, then at my request, changed my ADT system over. I am grateful for his knowledge, professionalism, and eye for detail. I will recommend Bill and Tampa Bay Security to any one who is unhappy with their current Security System.

Normally I wait a few days before submitting a review, but in this case the work was so stellar I had to write a review upon completion. Our only regret in this entire process that we had not found Bill sooner. It was so nice to deal with someone who was so professional in every aspect. When we first met with Bill to discuss our options he arrived exactly on time and spent nearly 2 hours with us discussing all our concerns. What was so nice is that he does not push products on you. He was able to use our exisiting wiring, motion sensors and smoke detectors. After receiving the estimate, later in the evening, we set up the installation for the following week. Once again, he arrived exactly on time and work consistently for over 6 hours. Towards the end of the installation it was brought to our attention that our current smoke detectors would not work with the new system, as he had thought, so we had them changed. Luckily he had one in his car and asked if he could return the next day and complete the installation. However, before leaving he answered every single question we had (which bless his heart was a lot). He did not rush (even though he had a very long drive home after a very long day) but explained everything to us. Not only is his work ethic spectacular but he was so clean you would have never known he was here. As noted from the previous day, Bill arrived when he said he would and installed our remaining smoke detector. And once again answered every single question we had in addition to running another test. Not only are we so pleased with everything Bill has done for us, we are impressed with the monitoring company. He also installed our system so that if we want to add to it in the future it is ready to go. We can not thank Bill enough for everything he has done. Not only would we use him again, but would recommend him to everyone.

He is a true witness to small business companies who truly have pride, respect and diligence to the operations and delivery of service for their customers, who are their major focus; their customers are important and not just a number in a big organization or company..

Bill was quick to respond to my initial phone call inquiring about his services. He scheduled an appointment to come out and survey what was needed and was right on time. He was professional and courteous and explained everything as he went along. We selected Bill because he had many previous excellent ratings on Angie's list and he lived up to every one of them. When he came to install, he was right on time, worked diligently and made sure we understood everything before he left, with the offer to call him if we had any questions at all. I highly recommend Bill. The system is great and simple to use. We had a great night's sleep the first night after installation not having to worry about listening for intruders.
Description of Work: Bill installed a security system that included the basic package plus we opted for an additional smoke detector, motion sensor, cellular monitoring and key fob.

I rely on Bill to give me the inside scoop on the myriad security products out there and he has never steered me wrong. I would easily recommend Bill to friends and family.

Tampa Bay Security provides a personalized service by someone very knowledgeable and experienced in the business. My decision was based on pay up front or pay later. I compared and talked to several other companies that offered a great introductory installation rate with a $99 or $149 package. The trade-off is that you either install yourself or they provide installation but you must sign a 3 year monitoring contract which was at least double the monthly cost of the monitoring service provided through Tampa Bay (who also uses a local monitoring company). My house had existing wiring, Bill came out and explained my options to either just simply convert the existing system over to his monitoring or choose certain upgrades/replacements using Honeywell products. I chose to replace the keypad of the current system and add an additional keypad in another area of the house along with replacing one door motion detector. Bill tested the system thoroughly spending several hours at the house. He took great care to explain the functionality of the new keypads and ensure I was familiar with their use. I highly recommend using someone very experienced in home security and would absolutely use Tampa Bay Security for any future needs.

I could not be more pleased by this alarm system and Bill Orendorf who installed it; he is obviously an old pro, with many years of experience, and a very pleasant person. I also find Tampa Bay Security, Inc. very professional, for a reasonable monthly fee. I unfortunately triggered the alarm system by mistake in the beginning and each time, I got an immediate phone call from TBS to enquire what was going on. I even got a visit from the Sarasota police to enquire, because I had not answered TBS phone call fast enough. This alone was very impressive and reassuring. I also changed a window in my house a few days ago and needed the sensor to be reinstalled. I called Bill and he was at my house two days later; he came all the way from Tampa on a Saturday morning and fixed the problem so I could be in a safe home again as soon as possible. Thank you, Bill, and thank you, TBS, for your good service record. I sure will keep you in file for my future needs. YDM

Very satisfactory job from start to finish.
Description of Work: This is the second time we have used Tampa Bay Security, each time when we purchased a new condo. Bill is very prompt, courteous and thorough. We had to call him back when it appeared one of the sensors was not working properly. He came back the next day to check it out and fix the problem, which turned out to be a faulty sensor that was already in the condo when we purchased it. He is the only person we would ever hire for alarm systems. He's a one man operation and gives personal, fair and honest service, a huge improvement over the impersonal, big name companies, one of which ripped us off previously.

Bill arrived exactly at the time he promised. He is a methodical worker, he brought in his tools and equipment, placed them all in one area of the house and proceeded to work in a clockwise manner on the windows on the first floor. He was precise in his work; he did not appear to waste either time or supplies; he was so quiet we sometimes forgot he was in the house. He would carefully rewire the windows, place the contacts exactly where they needed to be and test each window. He worked around the miniblinds, he placed the wires in as inconspicuous places as he could, he neatly spread caulk on the wires to adhere them to the walls around the windows. He then repeated the whole process on the upstairs windows. Many of those windows are double hung, so he had to string twice as much wire, but that did not seem to slow him down much. We don't think Bill took any breaks during his work day except to eat his lunch which he brought with him. He willingly answered any questions we had, he cleaned up each area as he moved from window to window, he was confident in his work. He wanted to make the wiring as tidy and as hidden as he could, he was concerned about the appearance of the windows which we appreciated. Bill made the job of repairing our alarm system an overall pleasant experience for us. We will not hesitate to call him if we need his services again.
Description of Work: All our windows were replaced over a year ago, our security system had been disconnected from every window in the process. We had put off calling a security company because we expected the process of rewiring the system was going to be complicated. We called Bill at Tampa Bay Security, he came out the next day to inspect the system and give us an estimate. To our surprise, the estimate was well within our expected budget, Bill said he could resurrect the system with minimal fuss and he would be able to complete the job in a day. And he did just that, except it took two days because we asked him to return to install a wireless alarm on a door that had not been included in the original estimate. He began the work on the system within a week after the estimate. The system is now up and running, it works as good as new and we are happy to be protected again.

Bill is the sole proprietor of Tampa Bay Security and installed the system himself. The entire experience was totally professional and surpassed my expectations from start to finish. First, Bill came out to my home and assessed my security needs. He was extremely attentive and worked with me on the various options I wanted for my home. This was a very pleasant experience compared to the competition who only offered packages that didn't meet my specific needs. Once we both worked out a system that was right for me, Bill came out to the house, at the exact date and time specified, to install the system. It was immediately apparent to me that Bill knew exactly what he was doing, and went about the task of installing my new alarm system in a very professional and high-quality manner. I had a minor issue with one of the sensors on a window immediately after the installation. I called Bill the next morning to describe the problem, and he came out that very same afternoon and had the problem fixed within minutes. If you are looking for a top quality home security system and professional, high-quality installation and service, Tampa Bay Security is the way to go.

It was a pleasant experience working with Bill. We are very satisfied.
Description of Work: Bill is the owner and he has 35 years experience in the industry. It's clear he knows his business well. He made an assessment of our needs and recommended an alarm system that would work well for us. It was very affordable and the monthly fee is half what we paid for the alarm system in our previous home. Our customer experience with the big company we previously used was terrible and we would never use them again. I would recommend Tampa Bay Security to everyone.

Our current system was hard wired into our home except our front door. Bill Orendorf with Tampa Bay Security came to our home and helped us work through the issue and came up with the best solution. He installed a wireless system for our front door but was able to get it to work with the current system. He was able to connect the wireless to our current system so we would have only 1 keypad and 1 system instead of 2. We are also looking to have him work on our new home that is currently being built.
