Called and asked for a free estimate. Received a prompt call back and John was out at my house the next day. He took the time to explain the different products and gave me the quote on the spot. John was never pushy. They epoxied my floors on February 12th. The crew showed up on time (which is a huge + for me) and promptly began the work.
