In an era where the smart home is no longer a futuristic ideal but an everyday reality, one company in Florida has stood at the forefront of making sophisticated technology seamless, intuitive, and exceptionally stylish. Integrity Sound has become one of the most respected names in audio/video, home automation, and integrated smart-living solutions—helping residents and businesses elevate how they experience sound, media, and connected living.
Whether you’re a film aficionado craving cinematic perfection in your living room, a design enthusiast looking for lighting and shading control that marries form and function, or a homeowner craving effortless control over your environment, Integrity Sound provides upscale solutions that seamlessly blend cutting-edge tech with everyday lifestyle comfort.
What sets Integrity Sound apart is not just the breadth of services they offer, but the philosophy behind them: relationships are built on integrity. The company was built on the principle that exceptional service and personalized solutions should come first, long before the products themselves.
Joe Carder is the founder and driving force behind Integrity Sound, launching the company in 2007 with a vision rooted in exceptional service and a deeply personal commitment to client satisfaction. An industry veteran whose audio/video experience stretches back to the mid-1980s, Carder built Integrity Sound on the belief that long-term relationships matter as much as the systems themselves.
Once you work with Integrity Sound, things don’t just end there. You aren’t just a line item on their books. According to Carder, “we’re there after the sale”. Integrity Sound values the relationship with the customer, not just the product you purchase from them.
Integrity Sound has always emphasized honesty, respect, and customer service as core values. These beliefs helped Integrity Sound grow from a small specialty provider into a premier custom technology design and integration specialist in Southwest Florida—serving Sarasota and surrounding communities for over two decades.
It’s a reputation that doesn’t come easy in a world where technology can often feel impersonal. Integrity Sound’s approach is refreshingly human: consultative guidance, carefully crafted solutions, and an emphasis on long-term satisfaction rather than quick sales.
So, how does Integrity Sound approach home automation? “With passion and attention to detail”, said Carder.
