California Custom Coatings finished my garage floor with Lanai Gray Polyaspartic Hybrid Polymer. The result was so beautiful I hated to fill the garage with all my stuff. Everybody who saw the floor loved it. One neighbor commented it looked better than his granite counter top.In addition to the appearance I appreciate how easy it is to clean. I live in a new development where construction is ongoing. Dust is a constant companion. That was a major factor in my decision to go with epoxy.John's crew did a great job. They were courteous, professional, and neat. The dust collection system they used was very effective. The price was very competitive.Emptying my garage and then putting everything back was a major chore but I am glad I did it. Now I will have a great looking and easy to care for floor for many years.
High praises for John Celone and his team (including Killian and Kyle) who were recommended to us for residential garage epoxy. Very professional and top-notch work, plus excellent client relations. Appointment was scheduled quickly and work was completed as described and expected. Special thanks to Killian who was happy to help move a fridge out of the garage beforehand and return days after the job was complete to help move it back. We very much appreciate this personal touch.No complaints whatsoever and we gladly recommend California Custom Coatings to anyone in need of stellar service from a great team. Kudos!
