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 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.
Description of Work: I hired Armor Tek to paint most of the interior of our home. It included five bedrooms, kitchen, family room, three and a half baths and some hallways.

I have a two-story Spanish style stucco house with wood trim in Rancho San Diego. It hadn't been painted in at least 15 years and there was mildew staining on the bottom two-three feet of the stucco. I got 3 quotes for whole house exterior painting, and chose Armor Tek because of a recommendation from a neighbor and they were willing to work with me on pricing. At one point during the prep, a problem was discovered with some rotting wood on my deck, they agreed to replace these for a very modest fee. The job took about a week, the workers were punctual, polite and tidy. At the end, the house turned out beautifully.
Description of Work: The service included pressure washing, painting a protective sealant on the bottom section, minor stucco repair, and painting the house and trim using a 3 color palette.

We were recommended to this provider by our flooring contractor who had worked with them before, They called me back promptly and sent someone up to do a quote within a day. They worked with our flooring contractor to get the job done as we had a tight time schedule. Overall the rooms look great and they left everything spotless not to mention they were very careful with our newly installed wood floors - no paint spills at all.

First- estimate was way off but he did stand by it but clearly skimped to make sure he didn't wind up in the red b/c less that 2 years later the paint is peeling OFF THE WALLS and the trim, and he (the owner) refuses to stand by his "lifetime" guarantee. I would NOT recommend this company.

HER CLAIMS ARE UNTRUE. AS THE SHERWIN-WILLIAMS (PAINT COMPANY) INSPECTOR POINTED OUT TO HER, THE SUBSTRATE BENEATH OUR PAINT JOB HAD ISSUES—SAYING IT WASN'T THE PAINT OR THE CRAFTSMANSHIP. IN FACT, THE PAINT JOB BELOW OURS WAS CRACKING. OF COURSE SHE DIDN’T TELL YOU WE PAINTED THE MAJORITY OF HER HOME AND THAT SHE TOLD US SHE LOVED THE WORK. SHE DIDN'T TELL YOU THAT SHE WANTED US TO COME BACK TO PAINT THE KITCHEN AND OTHER AREAS EITHER. SEVERAL OF HER NEIGHBORS GAVE US 5 OUT OF 5S ON OUR RATING CARD. WOULD ANY REASONABLE PERSON EXPECT A PAINTER TO PAY FOR DAMAGES IF THEIR PAINTED CEILING GOT WATER-STAINED DUE TO A LEAKY ROOF? OF COURSE NOT... SAME ISSUE HERE. SHERWIN-WILLIAMS AND CERTAPRO PAINTERS EVEN OFFERED SEVERAL FREE/VERY LOW COST OPTIONS TO FIX THE ISSUE BUT SHE REFUSED!! ALSO, WE DO NOT OFFER LIFETIME WARRANTIES AS SHE STATED- NO ONE DOES. WE DO GREAT WORK- THAT'S WHY CERTAPRO PAINTERS IS FEATURED IN SAN DIEGO HOME AND GARDEN, OPRAH’S “O”, BOB VILA'S “HOME AGAIN”, “QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY” AND A&E'S "SELL THAT HOUSE." WE’RE NOT ALWAYS PERFECT BUT WE HAVE ONE OF THE HIGHEST REFERRAL RATINGS IN TOWN BECAUSE WE TAKE CARE OF PEOPLE!

This was excellent work done by real craftsmen. It was a difficult job with twenty five foot walls and complex woodwork that required stripping. My house is sixteen years old, but they made it look like new.
Description of Work: They stripped, primed and painted my staircase railing, fireplace railing and woodwork in my 2900 square foot home. They also painted all the walls. The job took nine days to complete.

The crew leader, Arturo, came out on a Saturday morning to go over the paint job with me. He was very polite and knowledgeable, and told me "no problem" for everything I wanted done. They started on Monday and were finished on Wednesday - very fast, very efficient, cleaned up each day. There were a few things I wanted changed and a little finish work that needed to be done, and Arturo came out the following Saturday morning and fixed everything I asked. He was great. Im completely satisfied with this company and their work. I will definitely use them again for any future painting I need done.
Description of Work: The entire exterior of the house was painted. The previous owner had painted the aluminum window frames, the light fixtures, and the doors blue, including the front security door. CertaPro cleaned the exterior, patched the stucco, scraped, primed and painted everything. There were a number of unpainted boards from having the roof replaced, and they were primed and painted also. The shutters, fascia board, doors, and trim were painted a different color. Also, there are stucco flower boxes across the front of the house that they painted in the house color.

The crew members (5) were all very neat, courteous and on time. The foreman explained the day's plan each morning and checked with me before leaving when finished. I feel the price was reasonable for the amount of work that had to be done and am pleased with the finished job. I would recommend this firm to others.
