Armor Tek did an amazing job on our deck refinishing that was in need of a much needed stripping and resealing. Rich, who performed the work, was amazing and paid attention to every detail on our deck, which was not easy. We would highly recommend Armor Tek for services.

I had a fantastic experience with TC from Armor Tech. The entire process was seamless and efficient. TC was quick to respond to all my questions and offered expert advice and practical solutions. He had everything set up within hours and even went the extra mile by checking on the property for me while it was vacant during the holidays. I highly recommend Armor Tech and TC for their exceptional service!

Armor Tek did an amazing job restoring and remodeling our bathroom after a major valve burst. TC and his team are great communicators, give fair and honest quotes, show up as promised and do quality work. We have hired Armor Tek several times since this initial job and will continue to use them in the future.

I literally cannot recommend Armor Tek more highly. For obvious reasons I hope to never need his flood restoration services again, but if for some reason we do suffer water damage and/or mold again, I would absolutely use Armor Tek again. Our job ended up being significantly more gnarly than initially expected, and throughout TC was a great, clear communicator and repeatedly went way above and beyond to try to get our situation mitigated so we could get back home asap. Our attic , which we learned during the course of this work has been a secret disaster area since about 1977, is now immaculately clean and mold-free. I'm positive TC should have charged us more than he did, to be honest, but really appreciate his consideration of all our needs. To top it off he is a really kind person who is clearly passionate and knowledgeable about indoor air quality -- I learned tons from working with him. So if you do have the misfortune to need to mitigate mold or water damage in your home, you'll thank yourself later if you choose to work with Armor Tek

Very well. TC was very professional and constantly was in contact with me. Easy to talk to about projects and when issues happened at other companies he step up and handled it very professionally. Highly recommend and definitely will be using in later projects!

I've referred TC to many of my real estate clients over the years, and I’ve seen firsthand the quality of his work, which ranges from deck repairs, painting, and kitchen and bath remodels to water intrusion abatement/repair and leak detection. I’m sure I’m forgetting a few projects, but TC is always my go-to referral for contracting or extensive handyman needs. Personally, he's helped me replace an A/C unit and carried out structural and stucco repairs. Having known TC for many years, I genuinely enjoy working with him and his crew. Plus, I take pride in supporting a veteran-owned business! I highly recommend Armor Tek!

We needed to rent our house after our jobs relocated us for 6 years. We used a local team first to get the house ready for renting. After over $13K, the house was still not ready and the paint job was awful. (They did do a couple of things pretty good - not ALL terrible.) But they couldn't get us to the rental ready condition and they already had been "working" on it for 6 months. By this time we were broke and our property manager suggested we use Armor-Tek. TC was so gracious and listened to all the problems and fixed EVERYTHING both started and untouched. He and his team finished in 2 weeks!! His prices reflect the quality of his work - but we already went "cheap" the first time. I don't have pictures, but hope to post them when we get back out there. Things we really appreciate in TC: He is Christian, he is a US Veteran, his work is top-notch, and his moral compass points in the right direction. Thank you, TC for all your work so we didn't lose our house. (BTW - this is our home, it was never a rental before. It was in good condition when we moved, it needed both bathrooms updated/partial reno, paint throughout (I had custom colors that not everyone likes, lol), wall patching from various installations and heavy pictures, front and back yards updated, new fence on ONE side. That was it. Should not have taken 6 months, or even 6 weeks.

I wish every provider I use would have the same values and level of excellence as Armor Tek. It starts at the top and the owner,TC Chesser immediately provides the feeling of trust one needs when hiring someone to do a job as comprehensive as painting a home. He is trustworthy, experienced and delightful to work with. I received 5 bids to paint our home and Armor Tek's was the most comprehensive by far the most reasonable. Justin was the supervisor on the job and he was not only incredibly nice and thoughtful about what needed to be done, he was (is) an excellent painter. The house looks fantastic and he went above and beyond to point things out to me which were not in the bid and that he would take care of - no extra charge. I have given TC's information out to others already. I highly recommend Armor Tek and will hire them again for painting and other jobs!

I found Armor-Tek to be extremely professional. Moreover, the team was a delight to work with. They were extremely helpful. Our house looks beautiful with a new color. The neighbors have all commented on how good it looks. Justin even installed an interior "barn door" for us which made my wife extremely happy as well. We have recommended them to 2 others and would happily recommend them to others. I will use them for additional projects that we have in mind inside the house. Armor-Ted was an excellent decision!

TC and his team, led by Justin, did a great job. I hired them to paint our house because we wanted a lime wash on the brick and they were the only company who had experience with lime wash. Justin did an amazing job hand painting our brick and matching the paint used on the siding to our existing stucco (yes, our house is made of 3 materials). We added on shutters and the door at the last minute and they were very accommodating. They also offered their services for some indoor work we had hanging a light fixture in the kitchen and patching and moving some recessed lighting. Guillermo worked inside and was very respectful of our kitchen and lovely to work with. We added on work for them in the kitchen as well and they always just rolled with it and did an excellent job. Even with adding on work they ended up coming in at their estimate and finished faster than expected. Would absolutely use them again in the future.

My home had termite damage. TC and his wonderful, professional team recreated my home! Beautiful repair work and painting. They arrived at 8 am every morning and were a pleasure to have around. Thoughtful, courteous, and hard working. I have recommended them to several friends. Thanks, Guys!!! Suzzette.

My home needed a new paint job on the interior from top to bottom. I also have high 20 ft ceilings. I had received several bids and landed with TC Armor Tek for several reasons starting with the owner TC. TC was very professional, offered some ideas, and his bid was reasonable compared to a few others I had received which were simply outrageous in price. TC and his crew were VERY professional; clean; & respectful of their furniture surroundings and They completed the job earlier than projected! I like them so much that I m hiring them again to do some touch ups as we had other remodel projects that took place after they painted which messed up their beautiful paint job in some areas the first time around. I would highly recommend TC Armor Tek!

I highly recommend this company. They promptly responded to my request for a bid, and the bid was very reasonable. They were able to start the job soon, and the entire team worked professionally and skillfully. They were knowledgable about materials to use and the process, provided good advice when needed, and did a little extra when needed. I can't imagine a better experience.

I wasn't overly pleased with the services. I chose the company because our design consultant recommended them, and their quote came in a little less than another company. But when it came to actually working with them, I found many situations each day at the end of the day where I needed to ask the painters to do it over or correct splatter. I've waited to write a review to see how the paint would hold up. A few months after the job, I started noticing the paint peeling off in the master bathroom, and in the powder room. I haven't called them back because I didn't enjoy the interaction with the employees. When I asked our design consultant why he'd recommended the company, he said he was friends with one of the workers, but actually had chosen not to hire the company for his own property. <br />

TC was good about making certain that I was happy in the end. I had to have them come back twice to fix some areas. I also had his handymen do some work. They were charging by the hour and took twice as long as they should have. TC did adjust the bill. There were other issues with the bill as well. The original bid was very good, so the ending price was not bad.
Response from Armor Tek
"We apologize for not giving you the service you feel you deserve. We are always making improvements to our processes and our workers are dedicated to providing the best quality product. Please remember, we took twice as long because we uncovered a water leak and had additional work authorized by you. We also corrected work for free from another company you hired."
