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.
Every company says they're the best.

geruel lorayaMarch 11, 2025 My buddy Al highly recommended Erick for tints, and he did not disappoint! From the start, he explained all my options, provided samples, and never pressured me into anything. I chose the ceramic tints. The quality of his work was top-notch, and he got it done in just three hours. But what really stood out was the customer service—Erick treated me like we’re best of friends, making the whole experience even better. I’ll be recommending this place to all my friends! Nick HehnMarch 5, 2025 Got my car wrapped and tinted, they did phenomenal work, and Erick was superb, overall great place. Michael RayanMarch 4, 2025 I brought my 2025 Cadillac Escalade for front window tints, wrapped the front half with PPF and back half with ceramic protecting coating. Eric did a phenomenal job on my car. You can’t even tell he wrapped the front with PPF. Also the tint job was great and can’t even tell they look factory tints. Eric was very professional and answered all my questions. He updated me everyday with pictures and reports. I would highly recommend SkinzTek. Michael KoyfmanFebruary 28, 2025 Extremely good service. Everything is done on time with good quality. Brandon W.February 25, 2025 🥷💜🌱🔥🫡📸 10 stars Benjamin GeorgiaJanuary 26, 2025 This was my first time getting my vehicles windows tinted and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The estimate came back quick and the packages to pick which windows you want done was super easy to navigate. Erick worked with my schedule and was able to get me in as soon as possible. As soon as I arrived for my appointment, Erick pulled out all of the samples of the varying percentages of tint I could pick from and laid them on all of the windows so I could see and make the right choice. I got every window done including the sunroof so there was a lot of debating on my end. Erick is super knowledgeable as he answered all of my questions and was able to recommend what’s best/most popular and what would suit my needs. As soon as I made my decision Erick got right to work. When I went to pick my car up later that day, I was amazed! I expected a professional experience, and that’s exactly what I got. The tint looks amazing and the only reason I know it’s there is because the windows are darker. Erick then explained all of the aftercare and tint-specific guidelines, and reassured me I could reach out if I had any questions or concerns. I also appreciated how he replaced the two stickers for my ipass transponder… the little things :). In three words: friendly, knowledgeable, professional. 10/10 recommend. Rolly ClanJanuary 25, 2025 Erick did a great job tinting of my four doors and 2 headlights are very outstanding appreciate so much highly recommended. Neil WardJanuary 19, 2025 I recently purchased a new vehicle and decided to enhance the look with window tint. Searching for nearby shops, SkinzTek popped up, and taking a look at the work that they’ve done, I was immediately impressed. The professionalism they demonstrated, and the responsiveness they provided were a huge relief. I didn’t need to go anywhere else. So happy with the work and I get so many compliments. I highly recommend them to anyone.Load moreGoogle rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 377 reviews
