John was wonderful to work with. He took my call and came over that day to give me an estimate. He was kind, patient and a pleasure to work with. He gave me a quote on the spot, which was very reasonable so I signed with him the same day. He walked me through the process of doing the epoxy coating in my garage. He made me feel instantly at ease. We scheduled a few weeks out due to my schedule. As the date approached, I needed to reschedule due to my travel schedule. Not a problem, we pushed it out without any hiccups. Patrick showed up on Tuesday and went to work. He was phenomenal! Friendly, patient with all of my questions (I was very intrigued with the process) and quick and efficient. He was done in a few hours and came back the next day to seal it off. Again, Patrick was awesome. I was concerned how the 2nd day would go as I had to go out of town earlier than expected but not to worry. They made sure to have me on the schedule first thing in morning! They went above and beyond on the work that was done but also did everything possible to work around my schedule! Truly top notch professionalism and service. I'm so happy and cannot thank John and Patrick enough.
Excellent Job done on our garage floors. We called for a rush job on having the epoxy coating done on our new used home we were moving into and needed done within just a few days before we had the quick turn around renovation done inside where they would need to use the garage to lay out materials etc and we have not had 2 weeks to have all of this done along with moving in. John came out the next day and gave us a quote...I chose the quick set option he offered so it could be walked in within 8 hours and completely set in 36 hours, so our home renovation guys could start in time. John happened to have an availability the next day and we scheduled it. Start to finish this was the absolute easiest process and John's guys did an amazing thorough job. When my husband saw the garage he said it was "bad ass"! So guess he was pleased. You will NOT be disappointed with this company!!!
We will only use California Custom Coatings for our garage flooring epoxy at our homes. We had them do our last house & our new home, because we loved it so much. The quality of work is incredible & the value is worth every penny! The customer service is amazing & we are thrilled beyond words to have our garages so beautiful!
