John and his crew of guys did an excellent job on my backyard concrete. The colors turned out amazing and just enhances my backyard with the pool and garden. His crew was very professional and polite. I felt he was honest and fair with his quote and the amount of time it took them to complete the job. I have and will continue to recommend these guys to anyone. This summer I will be in contact with his company to have my garage flooring done!

I just had my garage floor epoxied by California Custom Coatings. They did an outstanding job. My garage looks like a million bucks. Besides an A+ quality job, I was impressed with the knowledge and service I received. I spoke with another company, but John's knowledge and explanation of the process was far superior than his competition. I even received a phone call the morning the job was scheduled by his crew introducing himself and letting me know he was on his way to my house. Crew showed up at 7:45 am even though I did not expect them until 8:00 am. They completed the job the same day. I was able to move items back into my garage in less than 24 hours and was able to park both vehicles in the garage 36 hours later. I would highly recommend these guys to anyone. Tom P.

It's been over a month since the garage floor was done, I can say without hesitation John runs his business the right way, he was on time with his estimate appointment, fair on his pricing, clear on what we should expect to be done; his crew was in less than a week later, friendly, responsive to questions, clear on instructions; the garage floor looks great, the large crack that was there was sealed, sanded and after the epoxy, you wouldn't even know there was an issue; what a difference the epoxy makes! great job! highly recommended!
