My husband has always wanted to have an epoxied garage floor and when we moved into a new home we jumped at the opportunity to finally have it done. CCC was recommended to me by a client of mine and with that I called and made an appt for the day after we were to get the keys.Unfortunately, the builder did not have the home ready and when Sterling and his partner showed up, we had to send them away. John (owner) was understanding and rescheduled them to come back the next day and complete the first step of the process. Job was completed on a Monday and we were able to put a few things in the garage on Tuesday. My husband couldn't stop talking about how pleased he was with the results and with the accommodations made because of the delay in our key delivery.Thank you for helping my husband achieve a dream he's had for a very long time!!Highly recommend this company and their customer service is outstanding!!
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!!!
I suppose a coated garage floor is considered a luxury. However, I have always wanted it, so I splurged. John and his crew were fantastic. John was on time to give me an estimate and called back when he said he would. Craig and Edwin, the two gentlemen who installed my floor were very efficient and friendly. They too, were on time and called in advance. It was a pleasure working with California Custom Coatings. I am really going to love my new floor. Bruce in Lincoln
