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.

Jay FloresApril 4, 2025 Best of the best! What an Amazing experience! Reasonable prices and a job well done! Erick is attentive; he informed me of what the job intel and the cost breakdown. My truck looks amazing! Recommend 100%. Thank you. Denise MeleroMarch 30, 2025 Got my car tinted yesterday, and I’m absolutely in love with it all over again! Regret not doing it sooner. As soon as I requested a quote, Erick responded right away. I can’t thank him enough for being so professional, helpful, knowledgeable, kind and really patient with me. I wasn’t sure what percentage tint to choose, so he was kind enough to set up some samples for me and even adjusted the lighting in the room so I could get a better idea of how it would look. Still indecisive, I asked Erick for his opinion and I’m so happy I did. Car came out perfect! He definitely made sure he explained everything beforehand and after. You can really tell he is passionate about what he does. Skinztek will definitely be my go to place and is the place I’ll recommend everyone to go! I mean what more do you want, customer service was absolutely amazing from start to finish, the spot was a really cool place to chill, the prices are reasonable, and the work was top-notch. Thank you again Erick, looking forward to working with you again in the future😎 PalaMarch 24, 2025 I did window tint for my car last week and I was very pleased, they really are the best at their job.
