Get matched with top deck staining pros in New Port Richey, FL

"Stucco is great but didn't completely repair what agreed."

"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 J&J painting 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."

"They did a great job! Stayed at our home until the job was done in one day."

"Guys were prompt and got the project completed ahead of the schedule. Nice work"

"Today was the second time I've had work done at my home by Jimmy/CARA PVD. Once again they earned a solid 5 stars! Jimmy and his crew absolutely care about the quality of the work they do, and the pricing is very competitive. All the repairs and repainting turned out AMAZING - both this time and a couple years ago when I had a garage door plus multiple interior touch up spots repaired. Thank you Jimmy and CARA PVD!"

"Very professional and they will all car recommend them to anyone. very clean and they clean as they go"

"I found this company on Angis list. The owner refused to give me a quote over the phone like other companies to clean a pool cage and insisted on meeting in person. I told him I would message him when I was home for him to come do the quote. The next day he texted me that he was in the area and asked if I was home. I said no. 30 min later he texted that he went anyway and took pictures. I told him he did not have my permission to do any of that. He agreed and apologized but never gave me a quote. That evening I saw on video that he opened my gate and walked right into my lanai/home where he stayed for 4 minutes. No need to do that to.look.at a pool cage. A few days later, he posted a hit piece on social media using my full name with a made up version of events that defied video and written evidence. He said my property was overgrown with weeds, was unsafe and that I had snakes living in my lanai among other claims. What he saw were 2 cats with black tails that scurried under furniture when he barged into their home. He has no business being there, going inside my home or posting this. I can only hope the next time he does, that homeworker will have a dog or be familiar with our Stand Your Ground law. Feel free to message me if you would like to see the videos or messages showing what kind of person he is"

"Carlsons did a great job outside painting our home. Also painted our pool screen enclosure and our cool deck. In addition they added a small fence section to hide garbage containers and AC unit. We also had an outside bathroom door replaced and painted. Carlsons team did a great job. There were a few minor things that needed retouch, I pointed them out and they came back and satisfactorily retouched everything we pointed out. I highly recommend them."

"Diego and his crew were professional and efficient. They did quality work for a reasonable cost and met all our expectations."
