What recent reviews say

Armor Shield delivers sharp installation work when active on a job, with crews known for speed, cleanliness, and keeping owners in the loop. The core problem: post-job accountability collapses. Multiple owners waited weeks or months for callbacks on leaks after roof replacement, eventually hiring competitors. One client waited over a year after the company cashed an $11,000 insurance check, the house leaked throughout, and the owner reported zero response to refund requests.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Praised for
  • responsive communication on roof installs
  • professional installation crews
  • clean jobsites and thorough cleanup
  • insurance claim handling
Watch-outs
  • took payment, never finished job
  • ignored callbacks after job completion
  • no warranty follow-up on leaks
  • unresponsive to repair requests

Best for: Homeowners seeking insurance claim management and hands-on installation supervision.
Think twice if: You may want to withhold final payment until repairs are verified complete, given reports of unpaid subcontractors and unresponsive post-job communication on leak callbacks.

Most customers experience quick dispatch and storm damage roofs completed in a single day, with Dave or his crew handling insurance negotiations that often win full coverage instead of partial fixes. Site cleanup and professional finish are consistent praise points. One recent reviewer reported the owner vanished after an insurance claim was denied, breaking a promise to continue fighting for coverage, leaving them to hire elsewhere. Castle handles residential replacements, commercial flat roofs, emergency tarps, and water damage restoration. Dave and crew names (Sergio, David) appear across reviews spanning a year. The business claims 30 years' experience and operates statewide in Connecticut.

Frank and his crew deliver roofs, gutters, and repairs with consistency. Every review across six months reflects the same texture: honest estimates, clear updates through photos and messages, work finished on time, and the site cleaned up the same day. More than once Frank showed up on his day off or brought connections to save customers money on related work. The professionalism stands on the fundamentals-Frank explains the damage, doesn't oversell, and treats the home like it matters.
