Deck Armor
Read full descriptionHide full description
Scan your boat deck and get a Deck Armor quote. Deck Armor is hand troweled marine flooring, installed by certified installers, with a lifetime warranty on recreational boats. This app measures your deck with the iPhone's LiDAR scanner so the quote is built from your boat. How it works 1. Tap Boat Owner. No account. 2. Walk around the deck with the phone pointed at the surface. Magenta means a spot is not scanned yet. 3. Tap Done, check the picture, tap Send. A person at Deck Armor measures the scan and gets back to you with the square footage and a price. An iPhone Pro or iPad Pro measures the deck with LiDAR. On other iPhones, send the boat details and we measure by hand. Deck Armor franchise operators use the same app to reach their portal.

The clearest difference is update cadence: Deck Armor at every 2 days against Speed Queen's every 2 weeks. Deck Armor also leads on device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
