I wanted to epoxy my garage floor and turn it into a home gym. Initially I was going to DYI with rustoleum epoxy kit, but after reading all the horror stories about the expoxy peeling after a year, I decided to leave it to the professional. I contacted CCC on sunday night and John was able to come out and gave me a quote the next day. The crews came out to work on Wednesday and finish coating on Thursday. The garage floor looks so much better and cleaner after. Everyone from CCC was friendly and professional. I highly recommend them if you are thinking of getting your garage floor epoxy. I will update this review after 1 year to see how it is holding up.
