Proven Results in Floor Coatings and Concrete Finishes

Frank S.

John and his crew coated our new-old 4 car garage yesterday and it looks amazing! We added a 2 car garage onto an existing 1960 garage and the old floor was a mess. John's gigantic concrete grinding machine and his expertise prepped the floor and did his magic. He got here when he was supposed to and was in and out in one day.....as promised. The results is first class and I would highly recommend his company.

California Custom Coatings finished my garage floor with Lanai Gray Polyaspartic Hybrid Polymer. The result was so beautiful I hated to fill the garage with all my stuff. Everybody who saw the floor loved it. One neighbor commented it looked better than his granite counter top.In addition to the appearance I appreciate how easy it is to clean. I live in a new development where construction is ongoing. Dust is a constant companion. That was a major factor in my decision to go with epoxy.John's crew did a great job. They were courteous, professional, and neat. The dust collection system they used was very effective. The price was very competitive.Emptying my garage and then putting everything back was a major chore but I am glad I did it. Now I will have a great looking and easy to care for floor for many years.
