We love our new garage floors!
This week, spur of the moment, we decided to look into epoxy flooring. We had a few days off from work and thought it'd be a good time to have it done. Sent out a few requests via Yelp and heard back from several companies.
Was able to make an appointment with Epoxy Armor Systems via Yelp. Sean responded quickly and we were able to choose our epoxy color and set everything up for the following day. It was nice to be able to set an appointment effortlessly through Yelp! Their website is also very impressive and you can tell this is a top notch company that knows what it's doing.
The next morning, Husband and I woke up early and moved everything out of the garage to our side yard. Two EAS workers, Jesse and Antonio, showed up on time (the window for the first day was 8-10am). They greeted us cheerfully and soon got to work. Pleasant guys. It was a very hot day (like 110 degrees), but we were really impressed with how diligently they worked, despite it being sweltering outside. We appreciated their attention to detail and making sure everything was done with excellence.
The next day, the guys showed up again promptly during the arrival window (1-3pm). Once again, it was over 100 degrees but Jesse and Antonio worked hard and did not cut any corners. We were impressed by their thoroughness and good work ethic. [I'm sure other companies would send out guys who would rush the job in order to go home earlier. Not these guys--they worked so hard and really made us feel valued as customers.]
EAS has really nice high-tech equipment that some of the smaller epoxy companies don't have. As a result, EAS can sand down the floors smoother and make the floors look better. We are glad we selected this company because sometimes only the bigger companies can afford the fancier equipment that is necessary to make the garage look more professional. I didn't think about equipment until the guys were actually out here and we started talking about the machines.
EAS should be proud of this team--they really are a great representation for your company. We are very happy with our epoxy floors---it makes the garage look like a brand new home! We also made sure Jesse and Antonio had some cold Dutch Bros on the hot installation days, and they were super happy with the cold drinks. :) We learned about Stoplights and Double Rainbro drinks, lol.
The only concern we had was that the guys weren't wearing respirators/masks during the epoxy stage. I started worrying about the guys' health while inhaling that stuff. It seemed very toxic. One guy was even coughing when they were pouring it. Mentioned it to Jesse and he said he usually does wear a mask but their normal van was in the shop. This other van didn't have a lot of their regular equipment. Definitely imperative that management always get their crews extra masks so they don't mess up their lungs or suffer longterm health issues. We put towels under our doors but could still smell the epoxy for many hours after installation. Fortunately it went away by the next morning.
Overall, EAS is a great company if you're looking for epoxy flooring. This company's prices are comparable to other companies out there (and lower than some). They also have a lifetime guarantee. We also appreciated how they didn't require a deposit up front before they started work, as some companies do.
Thank you, Jesse and Antonio, for your great work! read more
