John and his crew did a fantastic job on our shop floors. Couldn't be happier. As a business we need to be open for our customers during regular hours. The crew at California Custom Coatings came in on a Friday night after closing and worked until 2:00 AM to have the shop ready to open at 8:00 AM Monday. Very much appreciated.
