Concrete dust is a known irritant of the respiratory system. In a finished home or building, concrete dust comes from the breakdown of unsealed concrete floors. Traffic wears away the top layer, producing dust. Poor finishing practices cause early decomposition of the…
I can’t believe I never made a review….John epoxied our garage 4 years ago and did a beautiful job! We recently had a few spots (oil from car and random other spots). I reached out to John, he was amazing!! I sent him pictures and I tried an at home fix. I still couldn’t get the spots out so he sent someone out (1 1/2hrs from his business)! So impressed by his professionalism and willing to stand by his work. You will not be disappointed if you choose this business. There’s a reason why he has been in business for so many years with 5 stars
I called the company and Jon Celone (the owner) was extremely responsive, giving me a rough quote over the phone and texted me information about the colors and coatings shortly thereafter. When he arrived for the estimate, he explained the whole process to me and gave me a very competitive quote. He noticed signs of efflorescence (water seeping through the foundation) on our garage floor and recommended an application of a vapor barrier to seal and protect it. The workers came on time, were friendly and professional and spent an entire day finishing the floor to smooth it, patch holes and apply the vapor barrier and chips. It took an extra day to dry because of the cold weather, but on the third day they applied the epoxy-composite coating. It looks great and we now have added usable space to our house (the previous floor coating was chipping and would leave a mess inside and outside our house). I called Jonathan afterwards and he answered my questions. I am extremely happy with or new garage floor.
I highly recommend John Celone (Owner) and his team Matt & Igor (Installers). John was so professional when he arrived to provide an estimate. He answers his phone and text message promptly & was straight forward without any price gimmicks. I appreciated his professional demeanor and continuous follow up. Matt & Igor were timely & the job actually moved along very quickly; 4 hours on Monday & 2 1/2 hours on Tuesday. It’s rare to find reliable contractors. I have recommended John & his team to my clients and neighbors.
