I'm a retired public servant from the City of San Jose with decades of supervisory experience. Part of my experience of having Armor Coatings provide the excellent service, high quality product for a fair market value was observing the company work on a large pool deck in the Evergreen neighborhood of a large home association. I'm a volunteer at the location with prior experience managing pool service. I decided to use their service for my much smaller pool deck at my residence. The original deck service had not been resurfaced in close to 30 years. I personally met and spoke to all the workers during the different stages of the project and was thoroughly informed of the day to day process. The crew was on sight every day on time and meticulous with the project. The lead/supervisor on sight was professional, knowledgeable, and a team leader. They all enjoyed their work. I'm happy to say that my wife and I, and the future generations of my family will enjoy the wonderful work and beauty of the renewed pool deck. Thank you Armor Coatings. read more

Derek and his crew at Armor Coatings Inc. did an awesome job applying a metallic epoxy coating to our office floor. The coating ("Sky Blue") looks incredible! We will definitely use them again in the future, for our other office suite remodels. Kudos to all at Armor Coatings Inc! read more

Had a concrete extension added to our driveway and wanted to improve the look as it didn't match the older original concrete. Armor Coatings had an overlay option that could be done over both sections and had a nice looking hand carved flagstone look pattern they could use. The paint work to make it look more natural was great. Many of our neighbors have complimented us on the look. Very happy with the result! read more

They did a fantastic job, and Roy was great to work with! We're very happy with how our garage floor came out.

Armor Coatings just completed the re-surfacing of my pool deck and it turned out great! The previous exposed aggregate was cracking, rough and discolored. The Armor Coatings crew showed up daily and got the job done in a reasonable time frame and met with me frequently to review the work. I am quite satisfied with the end product. read more

We could not be happier with the job Armor Coatings did on our deck. It looks better a year after installation and is as durable as promised. They worked with us to get a design and color that looks great. They were also flexible with changes we requested during installation. It was also the least expensive of the dozen estimates we received. They have also been very responsive to us post-installation. A+! read more

Our backyard, and frontyard have truly been brought back to life by the team at Armor Coatings. If you are looking for people who know exactly what they are doing, and who are experts in bringing the cement in your backyard, frontyard and/or pool deck to standout then these are they folks you want to get in touch. They work very efficiently without tearing the existing cement, and are indeed like artists who paint with unique textures to make the existing (or newly paved) cement appear as an artistic masterpiece impression that you can only find at 5 star hotels such as the Ritz Carlton. I strongly recommend Armor Coatings beyond any words of mine can possibly express. And I am truly thankful to them for the superb work they did on my front and backyard including driveway paths and pool deck, as well as the epoxy work they did in my garage. read more

The crew did a great job for a large project we had. Even working through changes in weather, the finished product came out great. Highly recommend them! read more

Tried to work with them for a flooring job at my house. We got an initial quote, which was then rescinded because it was too low, which was then contradicted by another person, ... you get the story ..? Too many layers of sales people with no one able to give a definitive quote. Decided to not go with them! read more

Armor Coating did a fantastic job to bring back our community pool cool deck back to life. Our pool had been in disrepair and poorly patched so many times. It looked awful. Armor coat came in and chipped away the old coating and laid down a beautiful new coat that made the area look like a resort. Now we just need to figure out how the plaster the pool to match. I researched a lot of different companies within the area and after all the research, I felt that Armor Coat was the company to go with. After finally meeting with Jim and having him attend a Home Owner meeting, we signed a contract and 3 weeks later it was completed. Thank you Armor Coatings! ASG read more

I saw there ad in home improvement flyer. What caught my eye was the statement that they don't have to tear up my driveway. We loved the process they use. Antonio and his crew were always on time 8:00 each day. They wore the masks when dealing with us. We wanted a color for the flagstone design to complement our brick work. Antonio made a sample flagstone so we could see what the final project. He did the same for the grout. They worked for a total of 6 days. The final sealant coat was added today. We are very pleased with the new look of our driveway. We are getting complements from our neighbors. We highly recommend this service. read more

I called this company 3 months ago to patch some places to match the existing concrete floor that they put in for me. They gave me an estimate and said that they would put me on the schedule when they could. A month later they call to say that I'm on the schedule for 2 months out. The day they are scheduled to be here I had to call the company because no one showed up. I was told that they were finishing up a job and that someone would be there the next morning at 8. I callEd them at 9 that morning because no one showed up. They said they were still on that job and would be there that afternoon. No one showed up. I got a call the next morning from the scheduling manager saying that he would personally be out there that afternoon to start my job. Nobody showed up and I didnt get any calls saying they could not make it. I called to speak to a manager this morning and I get a call back saying they are just too busy to do my job. Three months!!! I waited 3 months for them only to cancel on me and have them tell me I would need to find someone else. They need to be upfront about this, if they had told me originally they could not do it I would have been able to have my floor done by now. read more

They did a great job in matching my existing stamped patio with my front walkway. I recommend their work!

I am your customer and the reason you don't have my name in your database is because I am using my middle name here. Don't try that, to convince other potential customers that this is a fake review!! read more

I originally had Jim come out to do our garage floor which we did with an epoxy paint chip system that turned out super nice! I was so happy that we had Jim come out and do the entire front and back and side yards with custom cement cutouts. We also had him to the front of our house (the walls) with hand carved stone. We were going to end there but we decided on getting rid of our carpet and most of the hardwood and doing a custom stain on the inside and a liquid dazzle epoxy downstairs. I have had so much trouble with contractors that I was so happy to have one who took pride in their work. Thanks Armor! -Kyle read more

Anyone who has ever had some home improvements done knows that from time to time there will be problems. The true success of these projects is based on how these problems get resolved. It involves the attitude and determination of both the home owner and the contractor. With Armor Coatings these minor snags were resolved quickly because we both wanted the same thing, a happy customer and a good job. Jim, the owner of Armor Coatings, was committed to doing both. As it turned out, the project turned out better than I had hoped for, done in time for our 4th of July party and Jim and his team should be proud of a job well done and another satisfied customer. I highly recommend this company. read more

The whole crew are great, the work done looks great! Only issue is that I wasn't informed about the the fact that the stain that was applied may not have been appropriate for a wet pool area as we've encountered repeated slipping incidents. Kind of scary when you have small children and guests. read more

This is for a garage floor epoxy coat that worked out splendidly. Asked for a quote on yelp, got a call back within 5 minutes. I emailed measurements from Garage and some photos. Jessica sent a good quote the next day. We set a date, Crew arrived on time and now it's all installed. After a day I found that a bug got sucked into the epoxy and texted Jim (on Saturday night) about what I should do, and I got my answer in 5 minutes. The floor looks great, it was easy to work together and I'd work with them again. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Armor Coatings. They did my back yard and it looks great. The men showed up on time were polite, worked incredibly hard. Antonio, the main designer, worked with me to get the exact pattern and colors I wanted. They were eager to get it just right, according to my taste. Highly recommend them. read more

Very professional company. We are very happy with the result. Hard to find companies like Armor Coatings. Thank you.

Last week I had my pool deck re-coated. I originally wanted the surface re-stained and sealed but the stain was a disaster. Instead of matching the existing color it came out with patches of different colors. So on advice of the job supervisor we switched to a solid color which looks very good. The reason for my low rating is that dealing with the company's owner was very frustrating. He was very hard to contact and rude. I will not go back for any new project in the future. read more

I have written very few reviews since joining Yelp a few years ago. I was really struck by how unprofessional Jim the owner was, so wanted to leave some feedback. My contractor arranged a meeting time with Jim (at my house), and 20 minutes after the appt time, no Jim. My contractor tried calling him a few times, and left a message with the office manager. Jim called back a bit later and said he had a scheduling snafu and could be at my house in about 20 minutes. I decided to wait and give him a chance despite the bad first impression. When Jim showed up, he seemed very professional, took measurements, etc. He gave me an estimate that seemed reasonable, so i told him i wanted to move forward as quickly as possible. He told me that he could start the job the 20th of April. I said great. He then sent me a contract that i was to sign and return, along with a check for 10% of the job. I had a quick call with him after receiving the contract to clarify a few items, and as we were hanging up, he happens to throw out that he will try to start on the 20th (the date we agreed to). This didn't sit well with me. I don't want to send a check without knowing when the job will start. So, i called Jim today to confirm the start date. I left a message and didn't get a call back. I waited a few hours and then called him again just a few moments ago, and explained that i needed to clean out my garage, store everything somewhere else, and arrange my calendar so i could be present when he starts the job. All i wanted to do was to confirm the date that he had given to me. His response was that i was just in too much of a hurry for them, and he would pass on my job. It seems like a lot of people have been happy with Jim, so maybe this is an isolated instance. Either way, I will work with my contractor to find someone who wants my job. read more

Armor Coatings completely transformed our tired, old backyard into a beautiful modern outdoor area that made us proud to entertain guests. Jim was very professional and attentive to our vision and his lead crewman was very knowledgeable in stains, sealers and substrate profiling. A year later, we noticed a couple of spots that had imperfections due to UV exposure and other environmental and wear issues. Armor Coatings turned that lemon into lemonade by completely addressing and repairing the issue to our satisfaction. In this day and age, that is a true testament to their integrity. 2 thumbs up! 5 Stars! read more

Our 2 year old condominium building in Santa Cruz had a terrible cement problem on all three exterior floors. Cracks, stains and uneven surfaces made the atrium floor and front landings look like floors in a third world prison. In January I contacted Jim Sisco at Armor Coatings who drove over from San Jose to see our problem floors. Jim was very knowledgeable and made recommendations as to solutions. The next day he followed up with formal quotes for all 3 floors. Due to other construction work we had going on in our building, we were not able to commit to a schedule. For 6 months, Jim's assistant Alison kept in contact with me so that they could schedule us when we were ready. Alison was very friendly and customer focused. I appreciated her informational calls and emails. Two weeks ago we gave Armor the green light to start. The crew showed up on the date as promised and went to work. This was a very complex job given we had 3 floors with 18 units and had to work around each homeowners schedule. The Armor crew was very accommodating, respectful and friendly to all homeowners. The Armor supervisor for our job was Robert Saretti, who from day one showed me that he is a top notch professional who takes great pride in his work. More than just being a "cement guy," Robert is an artist. He understood our building architecture and made suggestions to me as to what color stains he thought would look best and that really helped me. He then skillfully took our terrible cement pallet and turned it into a beautiful masterpiece with a textured natural flagstone appearance. All of the homeowners in our building are amazed by how great it looks. Many thanks to Jim, Allison, Robert and all the Armor Coatings team! You Rock! read more

I became aware of Armor Coatings when a friend in Sunnyvale brought them in to repair a backyard patio job that had gone very wrong. My friend was extremely happy with the result. The pool deck coating at my swim club in Cupertino was cracking and peeling, so we brought in Armor Coatings to resurfaced the pool deck. The crew was knowledgeable, punctual, and highly professional. The job was performed within both the time frame and price quoted. All of us from board members to regular members were very satisfied with the work. I highly recommend this company. read more

Armour Coatings resurfaced our pool deck and we couldn't be happier. The owner Jim provided an estimate within a day of seeing the work and we were able to get the project scheduled quickly. Alison, in the office, was great with follow-ups. Matt was the lead on the project and it was very clear that he takes great pride in his work. He's methodical and thorough. He and his crew arrived ~6:30 am each day and began moving in the equipment -- it would take a while because of the walk from the truck, across the yard and up a long set of steps. They were very unobtrusive and kept the area quite clean. They did talk me upgrading to the hand-carved flagstone pattern, and they were right. The result is better than I could have imagined. Great project and good team! read more

Very pleased with the job. The workers were great. Always kept me informed as they did every procedures. It looks beautiful. Changed the whole look of the front of my house. All my neighbors love it too and come by to ask about it all the time. read more

Armor Coatings did a great job staining and sealing our faded concrete, and it wasn't an easy project since it required varied tones of gray. We are extremely pleased with the finished product. In fact, they did a much better job with the sealer than the contractor who originally did the pour. And beyond the quality of workmanship, Jim was good about responding quickly...the estimate and scheduling were handled seamlessly. To show our appreciation, wanted to give Armor Coatings the recognition they deserve. read more

I am very satisfied with the results of my driveway reseal.the workers did a great job on time and excellent customer service.

I had two projects that needed attention when I contacted Armor Coating. The first was a patio slab that was cracked and discolored and looked old and worn. Armor Coating put a coating on the patio slab and made it look new and fresh. The second project was a large concrete porch in the entry way to a house. The cracks were large and uneven and I had accepted the fact that I would probably have to tear out the porch and replace it with new concrete. I contacted Armor Coating and Jim told me that he could make the porch look like new with no interference to tenants and no down time. They put on a coating and integrated the cracks into a design of stone and grout stepping stones. It came out great with a great design and color and is a serious upgrade to the entry to this home. In dealing with Armor Coating my experience was that they were knowledgeable and considerate to the needs of my tenants, their price was sell below what it would cost to tear out the projects, they were prompt and left the job neat and clean. This is a professional organization with top notch people from the workmen, who were workmanlike and considerate, the the estimator and the office personnel. I will definitely work with this company again and the entire experience was upfront and professional. read more

Do not hire Armor Coating. They installed a polished concrete floor in our house. Not only did they never show up when they said they would come, they dragged the project on for an additional two months. The workmanship was so poor that we were able to recover 2/3 of the cost of the installation from their bond. Even the investigator agreed that the work was substandard.The owner was difficult and hostile. They left concrete spray all over our screens. There is a lump of concrete in the bathroom and they didn't bother closing any of the doors while the floor was drying, so there are bits of debris between the concrete polish and the outer coating. In addition to even this, they insisted on tacking on multiple costs that we never agreed to or discussed into the contract. There are plenty of other options besides Armor Coating. read more

High quality work. My garage looks great! The job required some cement repairs in addition to the epoxy seal. They did a very good job.

We were introduced to Armor Coatings by Westcoat, the maker of a system to use epoxy coated pebbles as an overlay. Armor gave us a bid which was competitive with competitive overlays of other types. The bid was prompt. The job itself was a series of blunders, and took 6 weeks after being projected as one. Our concrete area has steps and is installed over a crawl space. Waterproofing was of prime importance for the job. The slope of the surface was to be adjusted to create the proper slope, which Westcoat specifies as 1/4 inch per foot. The surface in our case is framed by wood siding on a railing and a planter. At first they proposed to apply the overlay up against the wood. Westcoat specifies flashing in such cases. Only after we pointed out that fact did they determine to trim the wood siding to allow waterproofing to go under the frame. This necessitated extra time to redo the waterproofing. We tested the waterproofing when we were advised it was "finished" and found that water was standing in a number of areas and was seeping through the underlying concrete. They came back and put on another layer of waterproofing. At no time did they ever test for slope and water tightness. They left that to us. It was not successful. Without the correct flashing, it still leaked. In the end we had to hire a second firm, also suggested by Westcoat, to come out and install the correct flashing, then fill the gaps with new pebbles. Some Westcoat products are simple. Some are very technical. If you get a bid from Armor , or anyone else, it should be specific about the slope that will be created, any processes such as flashing or taping cracks, and it should specify the coverage- ie. Install waterproofing at minimum X gallons per square foot. Only if that is done do you get a Warranty from Westcoat, which is why you paid up in the first place. We did not get warranty coverage, or a reliable attractive job, in this case. read more

I had them redo my patio - grind it down so that it was no longer slippery and paint it - very punctual and professional. Looks great too! Would definitely recommend this crew for any resedential concrete work. read more

Jim seemed to know what he was talking about. Talked about all of the options to help us solve our concrete problem. He promised to get back to us within a couple of days with different options and quotes. Nothing!! No phone call no email or anything. If contractors don't want a job just say so. read more

We contacted Armor Coatings for a quote to resurface an indoor concrete area including crack repair. They were very prompt in all communications and professional. Their estimate also was in the ballpark with similar services. We ended up not using this type of finish for the floor, so didn't have the pleasure of working with the folks at Armor Coatings, but they were so gracious and professional I wanted to give them a good review. read more

Jim and his team are not only dedicated professionals and experts in their field, but they truly are skilled artisans, as we discovered when they took on creating stained concrete floors for the interior of our home. I was passionate about the aesthetic of concrete floors for our kitchen, family room, and foyer. My husband was passionate about having work done professionally, in a timely manner, and on budget. Armor Coatings delivered on all fronts. Our crew chief, Miguel, and his team worked with us to get the colors and finish for the floors just right. While are project may not have been the largest on Jim's schedule, he made the time to check in during the most critical part of the job. Our floors are warm, unique, and absolutely beautiful. I recommend Armor Coatings without reservation. read more
