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!!!!

John responses my calls really fast. I called him Monday to get a quote, he sent me several color to choose from, and also came to my house to check the garage and saved my slot the next day. I got my Epoxy floor finished on Thursday. This is really efficient, as the other company told me that I needed to wait three weeks for a slot. Felipe and Sterling were very professional and on time. They called me in the morning giving g me an estimate arrival time, and came on time to do the job. I am very happy with my new garage floor. It looks clean and beautiful!
