JonnyG G99 days agoRandy- the epoxy king of the valley! If there were 6 stars Randy and his team would get it! I have done a full house renovation and have worked with 5 different contractors and Randy and his team have been the best vendors by far. And of all of the things I've done at my house doing the flake system in the garage was the best decision. It came out better than I ever imagined and transformed my garage. Randy is really nice and patient and his guys went above and beyond. All the other epoxy companies wanted like an extra $500 to grind and flatten my stem walls but Randy advised me that it will look great without that and not to waste my money. And wow was he right- these stem walls look pretty perfect. I can not recommend Randy and his team enough. Fast service, great price and great work!+1Posted on Google
