A 2022 reviewer said Armor Shield Roofing out of Oakville, CT completed a residential roofing project in 1 day at a reasonable price. A 2021 customer said the team arrived at 7:45 AM, finished the roof and the cleanup by 6:30 PM, and put the customer's solar lights back in place around the house. A 2021 customer said a roof replacement, including new plywood, was completed in 2 days. A 2023 customer thanked Dave Usdan for keeping them informed through the process, especially with the insurance company. The trouble comes later. A 2024 customer said a roof the company replaced two years earlier had been leaking, and that after someone from the company came out and said he would do the repair, the company never answered their phone calls. A 2024 customer whose roof the company replaced in 2000 said they were twice told someone would call back about a leak, never heard a word, and had someone else repair it. In 2024, a subcontractor wrote that the company did not want to pay for work already done on a job in Stratford. A 2025 reviewer wrote that the company took an $11,000 insurance check from the reviewer's sister-in-law over a year earlier and never came to complete the job, and that the owner went silent when a refund was asked for. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0639402, held by Armor Shield Exteriors LLC, as inactive due to non-renewal. **Strengths:** - A one-day roof job — a 2022 reviewer said the project took 1 day - Insurance help — a 2023 customer said Dave Usdan kept them informed **Concerns:** - An unfinished job — a 2025 reviewer said work never came after payment - Leak callbacks — a 2024 customer said repair calls went unanswered - Subcontractor pay — a 2024 subcontractor said completed work went unpaid ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Describes itself on its BBB page as offering roofing repair and replacement throughout Western Connecticut _(confidence: medium)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ct/oakville/profile/roofing-contractors/armor-shield-exteriors-0111-87120870) — “About (Better Business Bureau, self-described): Armor Shield Exteriors offers roofing repair and replacement services to residential and com…” - A 2022 reviewer said a residential roofing project was completed in 1 day at a reasonable price _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUQyNE5YODZRRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xf96459876827e9a7!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgID24NX86QE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Armor Shield Roofing out of Oakville, CT provided completed a high-quality residential roofing project at a reasonable price.
