We highly recommend Armor Tek Services for any home renovation or remodeling project. TC Chesser and his team are highly responsive, friendly, and polite. The construction crew was very fast and thorough and left every area of our yard and house looking clean after renovations were complete. After removing a 26-year-old two-story wood deck from our home that was riddled with dry rot, we were struggling to figure out a next step that fit into our budget. Replacing the deck was going to cost us upwards of $30k so we started looking into other options. Throughout our research process, TC was very helpful and readily available to answer all my questions about design ideas and building permits etc. When we decided to replace our upstairs door with a window instead of putting in a deck, TC was able to quickly come out to view our home in person and take measurements; he also sent an invoice shortly afterward. The entire process only took a few days once our new window was ordered. The main foreman Antonio was especially friendly and easy to work with. We were impressed at how closely the stucco repairs match our original stucco exterior and the interior areas look like they've always been there as they are so seamless. The crew even put in extra hours the first day of renovations to make sure everything was watertight before a big rainstorm hit. We're very pleased with our new window and exterior and will definitely be recommending Armor Tek to our friends and family. read more

TC's ArmorTek came to us through a professional recommendation. This is a fine example of tradesmen knowing who is best to do what - and TC and crew were exactly what we needed. Faced with addressing deferred maintenance in a home we not planning to live in, we are very happy with TC's recommendations, estimates, and work performed. A lot of work got done in a short time due to the crews' flexibility, professionalism and get it done attitude. Kudos to all involved, we won't hesitate to call ArmorTek for our next round of home improvement. read more

Armor Tek - Bathtub enclosure - Painters Near Me - San Diego, California

First off, I don't write a lot of reviews anymore but I felt this one was worth letting others know because it's tough to find an amazing contractor, at least in San Diego. We've had our house remodeled, had an office studio built in our backyard among other big projects we've had done at our grandma's home. One must always remember cheap is never a good thing nor is the most expensive. There is always a balance.. I'll start by saying my husband is one of the leading Commercial Claims litigators in the US for 26 years. So he knows not only what to look for but also has access to an internal insurance system on just about every company out there who has claims against them. We had that going for us when narrowing down who to interview to install a complex french drain system around our entire home. Unfortunately, he is unable to write reviews due to his company's rules. So, I'm doing it. We interviewed, got opinions and quotes from six different contractors specializing in french drainage systems and repair/restoration on the property. In January 2023, San Diego got record flooding. Our house built in 1941, has always had an advantage that it sits on top of a canyon. Yet our crawl space under the house flooded for the first time ever. It was determined that the cause was from neighbors on each side of us concreting their backyards and building ADUs without proper drainage. Our massive 6000 square foot back yard ended up with the water from their property plus ours flowing under our back patio and into our crawl space. We remediated the damage and took the dry season to interview five different contractors on solving the issue from ever flooding again. Arbor Tek was, by far, the most knowledgeable on how complex this project was going to be by the amount of digging it would take to properly create a french drain system around the house while avoiding the various irrigation, large plants, and working UNDER a sidewalk to get the drain all the way to the street. Not to mention the odd slope of our property. With my husband's vast knowledge from his career, he oversaw each step. It takes a lot to impress my spouse when it comes to this line of work, but TC, the owner of Armor Tek and Rich, pulled off an amazing feat of engineering. Any questions or concerns were immediately answered and solved. Each day, they went over exactly each step they were doing that day and they always followed through with it. So I have no hesitation in writing this review. I hope TC and his crew see it as I feel incredibly fortunate to have found an excellent construction company in San Diego that not only shows up on time but also gets the project done on time and on budget. All three are very rare to find indeed. read more

We had discovered mold in our downstairs bedroom that came from a leak from the upstairs bathroom. Armor Tek was prompt and responsive to our needs. The whole process was explained in detail and there were no surprises with the cost. TC is great to work with and stays in constant communication. The nightmare was taken care of and now we have a beautiful remodeled bathroom and can sleep soundly with the mold completely taken care of. I can't recommend Armor Tek enough. You can trust them with any project, big or small. read more

The flooring company we chose to replace our hardwood floors following a water intrusion recommended Armor Tek to handle the drywall work. I called them on a Friday and by Tuesday they started work. We live in a downtown condo, so it's not easy to work here. Armor Tek were amazing. They always arrived on time. They were friendly and courteous. They protected the work area. Their work was first class. They cleaned up perfectly and removed all debris. They finished the job on time and to their original estimate. I would 100% recommend this company. read more

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. read more

We used Armor Tek for a few home repairs and are very pleased with all of the work. We replaced an outside side door, painted interior and exterior areas and made our entryway nice and pretty. We appreciate TC's attention to detail and dedication to the customer. read more

TC is super thorough and great to work with; very important factor is handling complex detailed work. I appreciate his diligence and follow through to make sure the job gets completed. read more

TC and Mike were great to work with. They did great work and completed everything in a timely fashion. Thanks guys.

We hired Armor Tek to paint the exterior of our two story home in Carlsbad. The work proceeded in an orderly manner with daily updates from TC. The crew arrived promptly, kept the property clean and did a great job. We were very pleased with the results and highly recommend the company. read more

I intended to get a quotation and I got someone that doesn't even know what his own name or the business lol... He was eager to come to my home and continued asking to come up ..then I got suspicious and told him that I need more details about his services ?? he refused and hung up. ( Don't know if the owner is fully certified with the BBB and what cost is around $500 per year anyone can pay and register with them. Mr. what you need to realize it's the people are not just your dudes therefore, you need to be more respectful and watch out the way you talk to others. At this point, I will have to question your reputation and your reviews ( only 18 ) because if you are not professional and how do you expect people to view you...perception is important or maybe it's not important for the owner of this small tinny business. My advice 1 - Be more professional and get mood under control 2 -Leave your personal problems at home and be more courteous with people who kindly call you for a "quotation" 3 - Listen more than you talk 4 - Stay away from" bait and switch" tactics Good luck, read more

TC is great to work with..we needed our driveway fixed many months ago and Justin did a fabulous job. On time, listened to my concerns and got the job done. Recently we needed our garage doors and front doors sanded and revarnished. I also had a few window sills that needed touching up inside and it was all completed within two days. The garage doors turned out great but because of the varnish they stuck when opening. Justin came back quickly to remedy the situation. Armor Tek is a one stop shop for all home repairs, from big jobs to small...I plan to use them again soon. read more

TC and his crew repainted the exterior of our house. They replaced and repaired fascia boards and our side garage door, and weather-proofed around the house. Justin and Brandon did an amazing job. They were understanding and patient, even after I changed my mind about the color. If we ever need any work done on our house, we'll definitely be calling Armor Tek again. Thank you!! read more

THE BEST! THE BEST! THE BEST! I have used TC and his crews both personally and professionally. They have done interior as well as exterior work for me. They do a really great job and go above and beyond to make sure their clients are happy with their work. Justin is a GREAT project manager and is kind and easy to have around. All the guys are respectful of our home and work very hard. Use this company and you won't be disappointed. read more

We had TC and team paint the exterior of our house last fall. We were so pleased with the results that we hired them to paint our kitchen walls and cabinets. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. Antonio and crew were meticulous in preparation, help in final color selection, and finish. I go to them again for any future painting projects and would (and have) recommended them to friends. read more

My home needed painting on the interior from top to bottom including areas where I have 25 foot 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 Justin and a few others were very professional, personable, clean and 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 some of their beautiful paint job in some areas. I would highly recommend TC Armor Tek! My husband and I were very pleased with their work! read more

This is the best experience I ever had when it came to house remodeling! A very organized, clean and helpful team. They did exterior paint and stucco repair, refaced the bricks, replaced all exterior fixtures and did some electrical repairs. Everything was completed exactly as agreed and in time. Thank you very much! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed working with TC Chesser and Justin. They were very pleasant, thorough and helpful. They did a great job and We are happy to recommend them to anyone who needs their house painted. read more

Just hired them for the second time, great job. Last year they did my interior of my home and this year was time for my exterior. They came in did the Job and left things just the way they were. Very professional and I highly recommend, don't go with the cheep guy who will drive you crazy, hire a real professional. read more

It's refreshing to know that there are still some service companies out there that understand what quality, value and service are all about. TC and his crew were beyond meticulous in their approach to our painting project from prep work to the painting to the cleanup. We were left with a dream house. I got to know everyone on the crew and each guy was more courteous and professional than the last one! We even kept them on to do a light renovation project in the kitchen, removing a bank of cabinets and modifying the position of a wall. Plus a few other things like replacing most of the light fixtures. We really lucked out in hiring Armor Tek. It could not have possibly been any more pleasant and the work speaks for itself. I recommend these guys HIGHLY. read more

Marco and his Dad Marco just finished painting the interior of my home, and I was very impressed overall. I called T.C to get a quote and he initially said I was out of his normal operating area, but he said he'd see what he could do. I thought that was the last I would hear from him and started looking elsewhere. Tuesday he called and sent someone out that day. they had an immediate opening, and started prep work on wednesday and then painted Thursday through Saturday! They even used the premium paint I requested. They did an excellent job and the house looks as good as new! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more

TC and his onsite supervisor Antonio could not have been more accommodating! Despite a 71 day nightmare of an escrow due to a unscrupulous realtor & lender, TC assured me they would be available once I got my home. I received the keys on Thursday night & they started the following Monday. And as most know, once you get in, there are more things that need to be done than you had anticipated. They took it in stride and worked with me in a totally professional manner to help get the major things done before I moved in as my timeline was short. The team accommodated the electrician and even recommended a good plumber. TC kept me updated timely on the progress and the costs. It was such a relief to work with a honest and communicative team after what I'd just been through in purchasing the home. The entire crew were hard workers and my home now looks so beautiful! I'd attach before & after photos if I were unpacked, but alas, that will be taking some time, . Lol I highly recommend TC as a contractor and will be using him and his team in the future for my bathroom remodels. read more

Professional. TC and his team did a great job repainting our entire condo and repairing walls. The best part of working with TC was his commitment to our satisfaction as customers. It is easy to work with customers when everything goes well, but its another to maintain professionalism when something does not. We had a little problem with two walls we wanted painted with a faux finish. They did not turn out as expected, but TC made sure we came to an agreement that we were all happy with. Its that kind of commitment to customer satisfaction that will let us recommend him to others. read more

We have used the services of TC several times now, in three homes. We find no reason to go elsewhere, as reliability, and having the job done right is our top priority. Their price is always fair, and comparable to others, whenever we decided to compare bids. I decided to write this review because the last job they did for us was very complex, they did it great. I wouldn't have trusted anyone else to do it. Many painters can paint an exterior or interior walls. We challenged them with painting two walls of built in shelving that was covered in white vinyl. The prep work was critical, and required intensive surface preparation, just to be able to get paint to adhere.They completed the job with a beautiful, artistic, faux finish, and were able to have all the pairs of thin boards look as single, substantial appearing ones. We enjoy the result every day, and know we will doubly recoup the cost of their service when it come time to sell. read more

We searched through many sources (including Angie's list) to find a right General Contractor and found Armor Tek through Home Depot's RedBeacon. On a weekend we left a message on RedBeacon's jobsite and TC (Tim) was among the first to reply. He showed up on time for the interview and proved to be a good listener. After comparing his bid against 2 others, we selected him because he is resourceful and responsive. We particularly like his unique style of calling at the end of each day verifying all is well. He is prompt and communicates well. read more

We initially hired Armor Tek for interior painting throughout our home (walls and ceilings) and were thrilled with TC and his crew's professionalism and outstanding work. They worked diligently and efficiently, cleaned up after themselves, and TC would update us at the end of every work session with a quick report. Their attention to detail was astounding, their prices were very reasonable, and it was a true pleasure working with them! TC and his team earned our trust not only through their work but their willingness to work with and around our general contractor- so much so that we also hired them to plaster and texture our new downstairs ceilings as well. Can't say enough good things about this company and its people- we will definitely be referring to friends and family! read more

TC's team did a great job on our laundry room. There were a lot of details and they took their time and did it right. Thank You TC.

I highly recommend TC-Armor Tek. TC provides excellent customer service with a high level of professionalism at an affordable rate. He applies his expertise in helping you to select the correct color palette for your project and would not disappoint you. Recently, TC and his team completed painting my new store, Olivetti's Fine Oils and Vinegars in downtown earlier than expected and I am very pleased with the finished product. Thank you TC and team for a job well done! Marina Irivne read more

TC and the crew were professional and did a great job. I would highly recommend them for any painting job. We had the exterior of our home painted a year ago with the upgraded Stretchguard System, and it still looks like new. They also removed an air conditioner that was built-in to the wall and sealed up the interior and exterior - no hint on the wall that it was even there. The missing star in the rating was because of a leaky outdoor skylight over the front entrance that was unable to be repaired. They did come out to try the repair 3 more times without additional charge, so props for that. But, it still leaks. So, painting and wall repairs - 5 stars. Additional handyman work brings the rating down. read more

We highly recommend this company. They did epoxy floors and our 3-car garage. TC and Fernando are great: polite, professional with good attitude. Did a good job. We would use them again. read more

Many thanks to TC, Fernando and their team for getting my home back in order after some very disrespectful tenants. I have used Armor Tek on many projects over the past five years and I am always pleased with the level of communication and quality of work. read more

From the first time I spoke with TC (owner of Armor Tek) I knew we were a good fit. I contacted him after doing a fairly extensive internet search (including yelp and the BBB). There were absolutely NO high pressure sales. In fact TC and Fernando showed me ways that I could save money. TC, Fernando and the team went out of their way to provide excellent service and make sure we were happy. I would couldn't recommend them more. read more

The team at Armor-Tek is excellent! They are on time, respectful, and friendly. They also work well in helping you decide what decor would fit you best! read more

We recently used Armor-Tek to do an Epoxy finish on our garage floor and we were very happy with service and process as well as the end product! The guys were very professional and considerate which made it more pleasant and they clearly know what they are doing. I will hire this crew for additional projects for sure!! read more

T.C., Fernando and the whole crew are pros! When T.C. first came to my condo, he was early and prepared. He listened to what I wanted and assured me he could do the job. He explained how it would go and started immediately the next day. When his crew showed up, I was totally taken back by the fact they arrived early and began to work immediately. Fernando was the crew manager and he was EXCELLENT! All the men were polite and their work was absolutely the best. They worked for three weeks and arrived early and prepared every day! Cleaned up the work site at the end of the day and were so conscientious about how they left the place at the end of day. I will ONLY use this company in the future when I have painting, building or refinishing to do.. The price was fair and competitive and when I made changes to the original quote I was told up front what it would cost. No surprises. They were the best. read more
