Trusted Concrete Coating Testimonials

Sam A.

December 4, 2020

I was going to put an epoxy floor for our garage. Reached out to three places in town. They came the next day to give me a bid. John was professional and friendly. I accepted their bid and they started the work the very next day. Its a two day process. So from me calling them to them being done was three days. This was great because I don't like to park outside. Kyle, Joie and Matt did a great job on the install. We picked Midnight flake mix. Flakes to refusal with a clear coating.
