Who we are
Shining Armor Home Improvement is run by Ethan Avgerakis and Denis Boiteau. Ethan handles planning, estimating, and client communication. Denis runs the crew in the field. There's no layer in between, which is why you get straight answers quickly.
We work on homes all over Rhode Island — a lot of them old, most of them lived in while we work. That shapes how we run a job: clean site at the end of each day, clear communication about what's happening tomorrow, and realistic schedules instead of optimistic ones.

Jobs of any size
The smallest job we'll take is replacing a single window. The biggest is building a full ADU. Whether it's the only bathroom in the house or one of four, the work gets the same attention — the only thing that changes is the scope.
What our customers actually said.
Verbatim from Google. Nothing edited, nothing invented.
“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. … They cleaned up extremely well after each work day which was noticed and appreciated.”
“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 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.”
