Erick’s work history begins at the ripe age of 6-years-old in the construction industry sifting sand and rocks in Mexico. Since that very young age, Erick has been a hustler and has worked in almost every area that involves physical labor – masonry, framing, cleaning, combination welding, etc.
In 2018, Erick moved to Chicago and the roots of SkinzTek began forming. After 3 years of building relationships and learning more within the industry, Erick took the plunge and opened SkinzTek in 2021 with his wife, Teri. Backed by his relentless work ethic, Erick currently does all the installations at SkinzTek, as well as manages and oversees the business (with help from his loving wife, Teri). With over 350 5-Star Google Reviews, opening SkinzTek has proven to be a worthwhile investment to Erick’s family and the community.
When Erick isn’t working (or thinking about work), Erick enjoys watching soccer and basketball, spending time outdoors, listening to loud music and dancing, and spending quality time with his wife, Teri, and their daughter.

Teri’s background is a little different than Erick’s. Teri is an associate professor of sport psychology and is a certified mental performance consultant, providing mental skills training to performers of all ages and backgrounds. This expertise has enabled Teri to be a pivotal founding member of SkinzTek with her husband, Erick.
Teri has been the picture-perfect supportive spouse and initially assisted with social media, operations, and marketing/sales. As anyone with a small business knows, Teri found herself wearing a lot of different hats. More recently, Teri has been focused on streamlining operations, communication with clients, professionalizing SkinzTek’s online presence, and content creation.
When Teri isn’t working (which is rare), she enjoys being outside, watching sports, and spending quality time with her husband, Erick, and their daughter.

James HorineMay 22, 2025 Absolutely top notch work! Erick is awesome, and has kindly (and patiently) helped me with the vision of my car! Thanks Erick! Arturo Soto-NevarezMay 21, 2025 I highly recommend bringing your car here for ceramic coating with paint correction and window tinting! Erick did an amazing job restoring my car’s shine with the level 2 paint correction and 3 year ceramic coating. He also filled in some of the areas on the front bumper that had severe paint abrasions due to others not knowing how to park. Now I have a huge smile on my face every time I see my car because it feels like I just pulled it off the lot! I also got the Ceramic IR tint on all side windows and the rear which gives it a nice, classy feel. Now I’m just waiting for 3M to release their new Crystalline film so Erick can install it on the windshield! Ricky OrtegMay 18, 2025 Erick did an amazing job! Super chill! Takes his time showing different tint options. Had an amazing experience! Excellent work!! Kiril AngelovMay 16, 2025 Erick did a fantastic job with the tinting / paint correction and ceramic coating ✌️ Trevor LoritzMay 6, 2025 What a wonderful experience I had! I recently purchased a new vehicle and had a paint protection film put on the vehicle. Erick and Teri are very knowledgeable and helpful through the whole process! I would highly recommend them, and will be returning when purchasing future vehicles. Brian SalviMay 6, 2025 Really appreciated Erick's work and approach to customer service. He tinted and wrapped parts of my Lucid and did a great job. Would recommend him to anyone. Thomas WhiteMay 3, 2025 Erick was great and thorough! Great service and pleased with the tinting. Jay AyeApril 25, 2025 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 04/21/2025 UPDATE: After a great job the first time when my front windows got tinted, I went back to make my factory tinted windows even darker. I got my sunroof tinted too and it looks awesome. This greatly reduced the heat inside the car. Amazing job again. Prices are very reasonable and the place is clean. Highly recommended. PREVIOUS REVIEW--> This place is a perfect example of what small business customer service, product quality, and work quality should be. Not only is the communication beforehand excellent, but once you arrive for your appointment, you are greeted with excellent customer service. I worked with Erick on having my two front windows tinted to match the factory tint and he did an excellent job. He listened and put small samples on my glass so I could see. He was very articulate and careful. The result was nothing short of great! Prices are very very reasonable . Look at the pictures and you judge. The waiting area was insanely comfortable. I was offered water. The cleanliness of the facility is excellent. I’m so happy with my experience that I’m booking another service. They are a small business and I intend to send people.Load moreGoogle rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 403 reviews
