Michael MurphyAugust 27, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently moved to a renovated home in The Villages. I brought bits and pieces of my old home theater equipment and the old internet parts. I ordered a new, large TV from Best Buy and wanted them to integrate it with my old two channel stereo equipment. The project was way over their head and they just added a Sonos sound bar instead. Then I called Daisy in Ocala to see if the could integrate my mismatched equipment. They quickly responded and gave me two quotes. One for patching my equipment with new matching speakers and amps to complete a surround sound home theater with Control 4 running the show. The other quote was for a completely new B & O system and selling my old equipment. I chose the far more difficult quote to keep my equipment and merge it into an easily controlled system. I gave them a deposit and all the necessary parts were ordered. I also chose to also upgrade the whole house WiFi. As soon as the parts arrived from Europe, they scheduled the three day installation. Many problems arose in programming the diverse equipment from multiple manufacturers. They tackled each problem one by one until everything operated in sequence. They then repaired my other home issues, the ring system and security cameras were not operating. They would not leave until all existing problems were resolved to Christopher Stanton’s high standards. All the equipment is invisibly tucked in into a cabinet and all traces of their presence was gone. I believe I now have the finest home theater in The Villages, thanks to Daisy of Ocala.

Michael, thank you for trusting Daisy Ocala with such a personalized and technically complex project. Your review perfectly captures why we do what we do—taking legacy systems, challenging setups, and turning them into seamless, modern experiences that feel effortless to use. You gave us the opportunity to get creative and precise—merging your existing stereo components with new Control4 automation, matching speaker upgrades, and a full WiFi overhaul, all while preserving the quality gear you already owned. That’s the kind of project we love. Christopher and the team take great pride in holding the bar high, and it means a lot to hear that standard came through. We’re honored to be part of your home, and hearing that you believe you now have the finest home theater in The Villages? That’s a compliment we’ll never forget. We’re here for anything else you need—thank you again! Renee DuncanJuly 26, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ABOVE and BEYOND. That's the kind of service we received today with Daisy's COO Christopher Stanton. He came out (on a weekend!) to help us install our new TV, ordered from Amazon. When we unpacked it we discovered the screen had been smashed. Christopher helped us repackage the broken TV and then went all the way to Best Buy to get us another, installed it and even vacuumed after he was finished. In the meantime we had a pleasant time with him during his time here: We enjoyed every minute. I don't believe I have ever experienced such professional, friendly and helpful advice and assistance. Setting up the appointment with Chelsea was a breeze. She was kind and understood exactly what we needed. Need help? Call Daisy. You won't regret it.
Owner's reply
Thank you so much, Renee, for sharing this amazing feedback! We are thrilled to hear that Christopher and Chelsea delivered the kind of above-and-beyond service that represents what Daisy is all about. Our team truly cares about making sure every experience is exceptional, and it sounds like Christopher went the extra mile (literally!) to make sure you were taken care of. We’re so glad you enjoyed the process and felt supported every step of the way. If you ever need anything else—whether it’s advice, installation, or tech support—we’re just a call away. Thank you for trusting Daisy! Joseph GrockiJune 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Daisy Ocala. Purchased a new home in Ocala and contracted Bert and his crew for security cameras and an alarm system. Also opted for a jellyfish lighting package all the way around the eaves of the house which came out spectacular. Sony television mounted on the wall as well as Sonos surround sound audio package. I am an air conditioning contractor so I certainly value and appreciate quality work with attention to detail. The entire installation was done meticulously with attention to every last detail. A big upside to using Daisy for all of this work is that they maintain the systems quarterly at no additional cost . Five stars across the board for Bert and his crew
Owner's reply
Joe, we truly appreciate your thoughtful words and the trust you placed in Daisy Ocala to help personalize your new home. Coming from a seasoned professional like yourself in the trades, your compliments about our attention to detail mean a great deal to the entire team. From the security system and cameras to the Jellyfish Lighting and Sonos surround sound, we’re glad everything came together exactly as envisioned—and that it reflects the quality you expect. We’re especially proud of how the lighting turned out—it’s always fun to see a home come alive with color and control. Thank you for pointing out the ongoing quarterly maintenance! We believe that service after the install is just as important as the work itself, and it’s part of our commitment to long-term support. It was a pleasure working with you, and we’re here whenever you need us again. Donna MeApril 28, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Thank you Mr Rice. We enjoyed your project and we look forward to being of service in the future. Gerardo EscalonaMarch 5, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Daisy Ocala did an outstanding job with our home automation surround sound system! Bert and Sean were exceptional—extremely patient and detail-oriented, and they took the time to explain the project at every step. They showed up on time, delivered exactly what they promised, and kept showing up whenever we needed them. The entire process was seamless, from pre-installation to post-installation; they handled everything. We are beyond happy and grateful for how our surround sound system turned out indoors and on our patio. If you’re considering home automation, look no further—you'll be working with the best in the business. I wholeheartedly recommend them!

Diane MarshallFebruary 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Daisy team did a great job installing a new Control4 remote control to be able to control my entire system. To my surprise while they were here they also cleaned up and labeled wiring in my cabinet. They did some firmware updates for me on my TV and Roku devices and helped me install some new apps to watch other programs. I couldn’t be happier with how they took their time to do the work and teach me and my husband how to use the system. This company understands what service is all about. Great people, highly recommended!
