Shining Armor Home Improvement says that customers work directly with Ethan and Denis, with no salesman and no showroom. The company names Providence, Cranston and Barrington as its service area. A recent customer had a storm door, an exterior main door and a porch slider taken out and replaced with new ones. That customer said Ethan asked questions about small details, they cleaned up after each work day, and they took time to adjust material to make sure of the fit. A recent customer described a project with two rooms and exterior work needing significant reconstruction, and said they were transparent about pricing throughout the whole process. A recent customer had a bathroom updated after a sister-in-law's recommendation. After buying a new home, a recent customer needed several minor repairs and upgrades and said the company was quickly available and very affordable. Rhode Island lists its home improvement contractor registration, GC-50165, as active, held by True Path LLC.
As new homeowners we have used a great number of contractors in recent years. Ethan and his team at Shining Armor are, bar none, the best in the business. With every twist and turn our project took as we made our way through some complicated reconstruction needs, Ethan, Dennis, and the whole crew could not have been more supportive, knowledgeable, and proactive. We truly felt like we were in the best hands possible at every stage and change needed, and they were extremely transparent about pricing throughout the whole process. What was looking to be a very stressful project, with two rooms and exterior work needing significant reconstruction, quickly became a project that we were able to get excited about - and that's all a testament to the relationship and straightforward expertise that the Shining Armor team brought into the house every day (and night!). I have never, in any project we've undertaken, been so pleased with the experience and end results. For whatever you need in your next home renovation projects, these are your guys. We won't be using anyone else!
WOW. Shining Armor Home Improvement truly gave me an exceptional experience as a home owner needing multiple doors replaced. Their communication, integrity and quality of work impressed me from start to finish. I had a storm door, exterior main door and porch slider taken out and replaced with new ones. Ethan took care of every detail, asking QUALITY questions on small details I hadn’t thought of but in the end knew would make a huge difference. The team worked so efficiently and cared about the end result as much as I did. They cleaned up extremely well after each work day which was noticed and appreciated. They took tedious time to adjust material and make sure the fit was not just “good enough” but truly well done. All were such a pleasure to work with and I can’t recommend them enough! Truly an above and beyond team who made this a great experience and took so much pressure off of my shoulders. Thank you!!
I was looking for someone to update my bathroom. My sister in law recommended Shining Armor and they were awesome!! I love my new bathroom- it’s even more beautiful than I imagined it. I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality work to add value to your home.
After purchasing a new home, we were in need of several minor repairs and upgrades. Shining Armor was quickly available, did a great job, and was very affordable. There was never a problem when we would make a change or addition to our “to do” list. I highly recommend this company to anyone seeking either major or minor home improvements to their home. I’ll be calling them again shortly for additional changes we’d like to make.
