Epoxy coatings used for concrete flooring can be measured in fractions of inches, like the term one-quarter inch. In the epoxy industry, however, a common measurement system is based on the mil. One mil equals one-thousandth of an inch. How wide is that? Comparing...
Cracks in concrete can be measured on a spectrum of severity. At the worst end, you have the kind of crack that forms when the ground settles underneath a slab and part of the concrete sinks far below the rest of it. That’s a serious crack and entails a major repair....

John Celone and his crew are very honest and professional. John was quick on returning calls including weekends and was flexible with his schedule. When he was delayed he called prior to the arrival time to update that he was going to be 10min late.It did take him a second try to finish the epoxy garage floor. During the first attempt, his crew left black marks. But when I called to complain he stopped me, explained what happened and that he would return and completely redo the 3 car garage at no cost. Because of a scheduling conflict and tight construction timeline, he upgraded the floor to ensure it didn't delay me any further, still at no extra cost.Everyone that has seen the floor has commented on how good it looks. A passing neighbor stopped by and asked for details because he liked it so much.Plenty of color choices and paint chips available plus long term warranties included.I would hire him again and recommend to friends.
One of my main factors in choosing a business to do work with is customer service. I had called another company out to provide me with an estimate which they did and actually their cost was lower than California Custom Coatings however, when I read the reviews for this company I contacted Jack. Jack was so responsive and provided an estimate over the phone as well as answered all my questions (I ask a LOT of questions lol).The scheduling of the appointment was also great as I needed it done rather quickly for some deliveries I had coming for items in my garage. Jack was able to accommodate me and do my floors the following week. I had Noah I believe come out on day one and Austin and Jeff come out on day 2. All employees were great and knowledgeable about the work they were performing and had great attitudes. They did a fantastic job!I am so pleased with the results. I haven't walked on it yet but the floor looks amazing. Not sure if I want to drive my car on it now.Oh and I might add, the warranty they provide was also a deciding factor as the other company did not provide one. If you're looking for a great company who does awesome work you've found it!
