I had a great experience from start to finish with this company. The process began with John, who was always quick to respond and made communication easy every step of the way. Desiree provided my estimate and did an excellent job explaining the entire process in detail, including what to expect each day. I really appreciated how thorough and organized she was, which helped me feel confident and prepared.Adam then came out to prepare my garage for the epoxy installation. He worked by himself and was incredibly fast, efficient, and friendly throughout the entire process. He arrived on time, got right to work, and made sure everything was properly prepped and ready.What stood out most was how detailed everyone was throughout the entire experience. From the initial estimate to the preparation work, every step was clearly explained, and there were no surprises. It's refreshing to work with a team that values communication and keeps customers informed.Thank you to John, Desiree, and Adam for providing such outstanding service. I highly recommend this company!
First off, Jonathan and his team were very professional. Everything from the estimate to the scheduling was reasonable and prompt. The colors and the 1" broadcast came out amazing!!!! So amazing that I recently had a garage sale and at least 8 people complimented me on it. I went with the polyaspartic(top of line) flooring. I've had the floor a year now and it still looks brand new, even after dragging metal tubs across the floor. Thanks Jonathan!!!!
Last summer we converted our third car garage into a game room. I hired John, owner of California Custom Coatings to transform our entire garage floor. I worked with several contractors over the summer. John, was without a doubt the most professional, reliable, responsible and fair. He was quick to answer my phone calls and questions; he kept and even showed up early for our appointments, he was enthusiastic and knew his product. When he and his team arrived they were helpful and respectful. Within four hours they turned my basic garage floor into the most amazing floor in my house! It is ALWAYS the first thing people notice and rave about when they enter our game room - our garage floor - not our pinball machines! We used them again, last month, on very short notice to update my washroom floor. Love it! His customer service is top notch as is his team and his product. You will not be disappointed.
