"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."

"Yes the project was completed in 1 full day & they cleaned up before they left all were very professional and quite and the project manager explained the job very accurately during the estimate. All the parts were brand new and it came out better than the original."

"The team was professional and the quality of the work was excellent. They were easy to get in contact with and kept me informed every step of the way. Transparent, dependable and great quality. I would definitely recommend them and they also offer $300 referral checks so I'll be spreading the word!!"

"A wonderful experience. All employees were efficient and timely. They arrived when they said they would in all instances. And, the price charged was reasonable."

"Scheduled for 6/2 at my request"

"Tibi is super conscientious, fair priced, and hard working. After dealing with painters for various jobs over the past five years, Tibi is the most honest and professional painter I've come across in the Sarasota area. He is detail oriented, can spray, roll, and cut in, and his crew is experienced and reliable. I strongly recommend Painting by Tibi. I will gladly hire him again."

"Jason and his guys did a really nice job. They were professional and maintained a clean work site. I am happy with their work and would hire them again."

"I had requested several roofing companies to offer a solution to the old leaking metal ribbed roof over the lanai. Bob Stephens, the Estimator of Kennedy Construction Groups, came out to look at the problem. After his inspection it was determined that the job was not a fit with his company. Even knowing he would not get the job he spent about 45 minutes offering a doable solution, explaining some of the things to be aware of when hiring roofers in FL, gave us a deeper understanding of the use of solar panels on roofs, and some very useful information about government programs to help consumers with the costs of replacing their roofs. He was very professional, knowledgeable & pleasant with a good sense of humor. Kennedy C.G. will be our 1st choice when the time comes to replace the roof on our house, but hopefully that time will not happen for a while."

"Recommended by a friend. Just moved here from Washington and decided that some rooms could use some new paint. Casey helped me out with extreme professionalism and really nailed the color selection that we were looking for. The painting process was incredibly seamless and painless, the rooms look great. If anyone asks me for interior painters I’m definitely sending them to HR Drywall and painting. Thanks again Casey and the crew ~Jeb"
