John replied within minutes to my request for a quote. In fact, of 5 contractors I reached out to, he was only one of two to return my call, period. After dealing with a fair share of renovations to our house, it was so refreshing to work with an individual/company that is so responsive, fair, and professional.The project itself was a restoration and coating for our garage floor, which is in all likelihood as old as the house (approx. 70 years). Anthony took on the task of grinding that old slab, applying a new epoxy coating, and mending some pretty sizable cracks. It looks absolutely awesome. And he worked so clean. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the clean work and attention to detail.We're in the process of working out additional jobs we were so happy with the first. Can't recommend Cal Coatings highly enough.
