Epoxy Flooring, Concrete Pouring and Repair, Flooring Sales and Installation
About us
I coat concrete floors with epoxy and M.M.A. acrylic floor coatings. I work in industrial areas and garages. I can turn any dirty, pitted, cracked floor around.
Completely unsatisfactory product and service. Coating was installed in July 2009 and began to chip within the first year. Mike, the owner of the company, came back to patch the damaged areas several times over the next two years, but then said that he would not continue to do so because of the distance. He provided patching material and told my elderly parents to do their own repairs. The floor has continued to deteriorate. We contacted him last summer, and he said that he was too busy at that time to address it but would come out in the fall to look at the floor and provide additional patching. We never heard from him. Creative Coatings claims that the problem was caused by moisture, which is not covered by the warranty. We are skeptical of this explanation. There is no evidence of moisture where the coating has come off. Neighboring townhouses with the same concrete floors have had coatings applied by other companies and none have had moisture problems. We have talked to other contractors and they have said that a moisture barrier should be applied under the coating. Mike never mentioned the possibility of moisture causing a problem. He also said he has never had complaints about a job. We recently called some of the references he provided and learned this was not true; when my mother pointed this out to Mike, he called her a liar. We believe that Mike and his crew did not properly prepare the surface to allow the coating to adhere. The job was finished much earlier than expected, and the floor under the chipped coating is smooth. We have asked for a refund of the purchase price so that we can have the faulty coating removed and a new coating installed, but Concrete Coatings has refused.

Response from Creative Concrete Coatings Inc
I am sorry for the ongoing problems with customer [Member name removed]. I certainly NEVER called [Member name removed] a liar. I have never spoken to [Member name removed], [Member name removed] daughter. I received a very threatening letter from her a few weeks ago with no phone number or contact information for her. I called [Member name removed] and left a message, she called me back a few days later and said [Member name removed] was out of town and would call me back the next week. I never heard from her until this. Having never spoken to [Member name removed], I had no way to respond to her allegations here. I can say for certainty that we properly prepped their floor, we shot blast the entire floor. There is no shortcut to shot blasting, the machine runs along the surface of the concrete, and [Member name removed] and her husband were home when we installed the floor. Don was out several times, watching the process. There is no "barrier" that can be put between the prepped floor and the coating, that would defeat the purpose of shot blasting. We shot blast so the coating has a completely cleaned surface to adhere to. Not knowing who [Member name removed] has spoken to, I have no idea what she could be talking about. When you install concrete, there is a moisture barrier that goes UNDER the concrete but of course I have nothing to do with that. To compare one concrete pour to another is unrealistic. These floors were poured at different times and the soil and pressure can differ from house to house.I really wanted to help [Member name removed], but never received a phone call back from [Member name removed] and [Member name removed]. I went back to patch the areas, 2 times over the first 2 years, I was repairing an area the size of a quarter. There was about 4-5 quarter sized areas that looked like small blisters, due to moisture, I believe. It looked like moisture trying to escape up through the concrete. I ground those down and recoated them. Last summer when they called, [Member name removed] said she wanted to come by and pick up some product for the small repair as she was going down to her parents soon. I had that packaged and ready for her but she never came by. I am terribly sorry I never got back to them in the fall, that was my mistake. In business sometimes you get very busy and things can be missed but I wish [Member name removed] would have called and reminded me at that time. I am very sorry for [Member name removed] trouble but know I did prep and coat this floor properly.

I had contacted Mike about a month before our move about coating the floor right after we moved into our new house. He explained the process and what to expect. I contacted him again when it seemed like everything was on schedule for our closing and move. Unfortunately, the weather and his schedule did not permit him to coat the floor in the few days we had before everything was moved into the garage. However, his crew moved everything out of the garage, coated the floor and replaced everything. The crew was kind and hard-working, and the garage looks great!

Mike keep me in the loop as so when he was available to do the project numerous calls. He called early Thursday 05/08 and ASKED if Friday the 05/09 would work for me. Not him. I agreed he said 8 am .2 of his employees were her at 0730 and asked if I needed help sweeping the garage floor. I was just finishing up. They looked over the floor to see what would be required to do this coating. Mike and another employee arrive at 0745. They backed up their trailer , started unloading and setting equipment up. Mike went over the scope of project with me and explained the step by step procedure with me. He asked if I had any questions or concerns. Being none the 4 of them got right at it.These guys worked like a well oiled machine. Everyone knew what was next as this product can not be mixed up all at once . Real professional group. This is hard labor and intense work. In finishing I want to commend Mike for the job he did. The crew that he has. (It was very apparent his crew wanted to work for and with Mike and they all got along very well as well keeping it fun). I am so pleased as I myself is a so called perfectionist. I am a retired trades person as well. So when I see quality I recognize it and that is why I am recognizing CREATIVE CONCRETE COATINGS INC. P/S I have not been an Angie's list member very long but I have used 2 contractors for projects and am very pleased with the results. I have so much faith that another Angie's list contractor will be replacing my blacktop driveway with concrete in June of this year. Thanks Mike and crew and thank you Angie. Dave Emmons
Description of Work: I hired Mike to repair a very distressed garage floor/. Floor is 22 years old and the salt ,etc.. caused a lot of spalling of concrete where it was a chore to sweep. I saw Mike's advertisement on Angie's list and called for an estimate and what could be done to make it a nice floor again. He did not use an EPOXY but a product that is fiberglass based. Nice deal about this product you are able to drive on it after the final coat is applied. His bid was very reasonable and even more so after watching what they did. Remember I have a large 960 square foot garage surface so it is not small in area by any means. They steel shot the floor and applied many coats of product so it was not a do it yourself package from an Home Improvement store but a heavy duty industrial product.

Everything went extremely well and I am very satisfied with the results. It has been several months, and the floor has been great. I spilled some motor oil on it while changing lawn mower oil, and instead of a stain in the concrete, I just wiped it up with an old rag and its like it never happened. The 10-year warranty is there if I need it, but the floor has been wonderful to work on, and has stood up to a reasonable amount of punishment already as I've moved some heavier wood shop equipment around on it.. Thanks to the flakes and a mild grit in the topcoat, it's not too slippery even with the water that regularly coats it now that winter has arrived and the cars come in dripping wet nearly every trip. The MMA does have a very strong odor on the day it is applied and cured, and we noticed it a little bit for the next day or two after, but it was completely fine after that with no odor at all. I would highly recommend working with the guys at Creative Concrete Coatings to anyone. They were polite, professional, have a great product, and on top of all that, had the best price I could find.
Description of Work: My garage floor prepped and sealed with methylmethacrylate (MMA) over the course of 2 days (because it is quite large, normally MMA can be prepped and finished in a single day). The owner of the company was very accommodating and easy to work with during the process of having him look at the space and give a quote, and then with scheduling a time that would work for me and that would have the right weather conditions for optimal drying, etc. His quote was the lowest of the half dozen contractors I had look at the job for us. The first day he and one assistant prepped the floor by removal of a small amount of the concrete surface using shot blast machines (this was the recommended method of preparation by all the contractors I consulted). They worked with me to get all my stuff cleared out of the garage (others wanted everything completely cleared before they arrived, and even wanted internal doors removed from their hinges, but these guys worked around the doors and helped move my boxes to temporary storage on my screen porch at no extra cost). The second day, a crew of 6-8 people were there to put down the base coat, medium flake in a color I had chosen, and the final topcoat.
