ArmourCo was established primarily to service the multi residential condominium market in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area. Originally established as an exterior painting, caulking and wood repair contracting company for exterior town homes and high rise buildings, ArmourCo quickly established itself as capable construction project managers who were trusted in the “tight knit” group of local property management firms. Condominium Boards and property managers appreciated contractors who stayed on time and on budget.
