About
Armor Exteriors is an exterior remodeling contractor serving homeowners across Lewis and Thurston County and nearby areas in Southwest Washington. We focus on the core exterior systems that protect your home: siding replacement (including fiber cement/Hardie-style), roofing (including standing seam metal), window and exterior door replacement, exterior trim/rot repair, and deck rebuilds or exterior carpentry.
Homeowners hire us when they want a clear plan and durable results—especially in our wet, wind-driven Pacific Northwest weather. Our process is straightforward: we inspect, explain what we find in plain language, outline the scope and sequence, and keep communication consistent from start to finish.
Why trust us? We’re a local, established crew with a focused exterior scope (we don’t take on unrelated trades), we prioritize proper flashing and weather-protection details, and we treat the jobsite and your home with respect. If you previously knew us as Black River Builders, Armor Exteriors is the continuation of that business under a new name and refined exterior focus.

Bradley came to build a roof over my porch. I had specific criteria, he was able to meet or exceed He was very professional and my porch will bring me pleasure for years to come. I would highly recommend Armor Exteriors for any construction needs large or as in my case, small!

Black River Builders installed permanent steps and landing to my 5th wheel RV. Father and Son did a really great job, and I've had so many compliments on it so far. I highly recommend them for any job you might have. You won't be disappointed!

Black River Builders did an excellent job installing our new stair case and siding. They were punctual, polite, and incredibly efficient. The finished work is exactly what we envisioned, and I was impressed with their attention to detail. I highly recommend them

All the best!
