John was highly recommended by our garage cabinet guy and I found his reviews to be outstanding. He came out quickly for an estimate and his pricing was fair. Our garage had weathered the previous owner's Range Rover which was probably in bad shape evidenced by the plentiful oil stains. His crew was able to completely hide all the imperfections. John stands by his work. I am in the process of helping my parents get their garage cabinetry redone and they are excited to get the epoxy done as well after seeing our job.
I'm thrilled with the way our garage floors turned out. These folks did high quality work and did it quickly. Very professional and detailed and I'll be enjoying my beautiful garage for many years to come. Thank you!
I am so happy with my new garage floor. John was very professional and business like, answering my calls and setting up appointments promptly and answering all my questions. Anthony was amazing. A very hard worker who created a very finished and beautiful garage floor. A friend who came to see it said, "You can give a birthday party for your grandson in this garage". I don't think I could say it better.
