"Armor Guard Review In August 2023 I had Barry the Field Manager of Armor Guard come to give me an estimate to repaint my 7 ft by 14 ft deck. The price I was quoted was more than double of other estimates with other companies. The reason I chose them was for the warranty. 5 years labor 20 years material and the warranty was transferable if I decided to sell my home. I should have realized at the time that the warranty was too good to be true. They were supposed to send a crew to pressure wash, fill all cracks and holes, sand, apply primer, and apply two coats of Sherwin-Williams Super Deck paint and sealer. Little did I know at the time the warranty by Armor Guard was a ploy. They sent one man a subcontractor to do all the work himself. I am retired and was able to be here to monitor each day with step by step photos that I took. First the man who came was told only to power wash and paint. This was my first interaction with Rodney the President of Armor Guard. Rodney was not helpful and was argumentative. He then agreed to prepare and paint my deck as was written in our contract. My deck was then primed and painted in the rain. The man who did all the work was being pushed to get it done quickly. As a result one week later I could see spots of primer and bare wood showing through the paint. Again I called Rodney and he told me that it was bird droppings and they left the paint so I should just paint it myself. He did send his subcontractors to look at it and they agreed that it did have many areas showing primer and wood. He agreed to have them come back to apply a third coat. They did. In April 2024, 8 months after the original painting it was showing primer and bare wood through the paint again. I contacted Rodney again he was rude. He did agree to have subcontractors come on June 8th to pressure wash the deck and then they would return on June 10th to repaint the entire deck. On June 8th two men from { removed company name } showed up at 8:00 a.m. One of the men said that they would pressure wash and touch up but not paint the entire deck as Rodney had promised. He said that Rodney had only paid him $300 and told him to pressure wash and touch up. At that time I told them to just pressure wash and I would take this up with Rodney. They left my furniture in my driveway they left my hose on the ground with the nozzle off. They did not do a good job. They were only here about 15 minutes total. Rodney has not made an attempt to come to look at the work himself or do a final inspection. I have caught Rodney in lies and have gone through continued stress and anguish because of this. I have two photo albums on my phone with day by day pictures of the work from the beginning until now. I also have screenshots saved of every text message between Rodney and myself since August of 2023. He texts instead of phone calls and actually in this case it turned out to my advantage. Rodney then offered to come and have the men paint the entire deck but he also added it would be the last time. That to me means he was not going to honor his 5-year warranty. At that point I made the decision not to respond. I no longer want anymore to do with Rodney or Armor Guard. He made a statement that my deck was dirty and that's why I was having issues. He is a narcissistic liar and impossible to do business with. My complaint and his responses are on the BBB website. I am considering contacting a reporter since I have so much to show as far as photos and screenshots of our text messages from the beginning. I think it's important to show other people what happened to me so that they don't fall for this sham."

"Wonderfull jobâ ¦ very pleased. Carl is a very good and has the expertise."

"This company left us with a floor that was poorly installed due to lack of leveling of subfloor and not placing boards in a random pattern. The result was a floor that moved when walked on and squeaked in certain areas. They said they would turn it into their insurance company and after months of back and forth they shut the door and would not talk to us any further. We had a independent inspector verify that they floor was incorrectly installed. After numerous attempts to resolve the problem with them, we ended up removing the flooring and replacing at our own expense. They have no integrity and I would never recommend them to anyone."

"Carlos, the owner, is very professional, and his work is very neat."

"Chris was always on time. They worked all day and did not waste any time while on the job. They knew the procedure well."

"Great Matt showed up when he said he would finished the job when he said he would the work was EXCELLENT I couldn’t ask for a better professional to do my job I would definitely call him again"

"We are new to the area and Matt came recommended by a neighbor. We were able to view a condo that he had recently completed and we were impressed. When we contacted him, he was happy to work within our timeline and budget - and our project was a complete gut job! During the renovation, I especially appreciated his communication skills as we were living in another state as the work progressed. Matt checked in frequently providing video and photos as well as discussing any changes we might address. When we were able to see the finished product - we were thrilled! The renovation exceeded our expectations. Matt also met us and we walked through the unit. He also helped out with a few final projects. I would highly recommend him for any renovations in the future."

"Bart and Carlos were great to work with. We had a wet ceiling problem that had to be repaired and they made an extra effort to respond quickly. They helped with some extras, also, that were not in the contract that helped us out after the work was done."

"No need to hire this guy (José). Doesn't have the skills or experience to hang and especially texture-finish drywall. His painting skills are no better either. What really irked me was; I had to go out of town and paid José cash (green money) to finish the drywall, texture-finish the walls and ceilings and paint the interior of my cottage. I also gave him an extra $1,500 for a specific, very high quality paint and sealer. Turns out that he brought in four or five partial 5-gallon buckets from other jobs. You can only imagine what he called, his finish product, looked like. I really wanted to help this immigrant. But let's face it, if you're paying a contractor cash, well he's probably not paying taxes, doesn't have insurance, not registered as a licensed contractor nor an LLC. Don't make the mistake that I did. Ronald S. (Venice, FL) "

"They did a great job. On time, great cleanup everyday, quality work. Job completed in time frame they promised. Will hire again."
