That is exactly what I said when I got home from work and saw my garage floor finished......WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!I have been wanting to epoxy my garage floor for the last 10 years but I had two major problems. 1) I couldn't find a company that I was happy with to do the work (I had another house done by a different company and I was disappointed with those results so I was hesitant). 2) I didn't want to empty the garage. However, it was so very much worth cleaning the garage in preparation to Ca Custom Coatings arrival.John was AMAZING to work with and it is very hard to find amazing people these days. John was responsive, knowledgeable, quick and extremely flexible (I had to reschedule my job 3 times and I live 2 hrs away!) Sorry John πMatt, who came to do the work, was incredibly hard working, pleasant to talk to, respectable and friendly. And, btw, he helped me move out a few heavy items from the garage, he was literally a life/back saver!If you're going to do any type of floor coatings don't mess around go straight to the best - Ca Custom Coatings.Thanks John and Matt, my whole family is so happy with our new floor!
