Best Prep And Paint in Phoenix AZ

Eric and his crew, 1st Class Coating are the best. This is our 2nd Az home that we had Eric epoxy our floors. This home he just finished had cracks in the concrete and old faded floor in the sun room. He restored them beautifully and put the right coating on so we won’t get fading in the future. Our sister also used Eric with excellent results. Our brother got tempted by one of those value-pak mailers for a lower price. By the time they added on all the extra’s he ended up paying more and his floor is now faded. Hire the best for the best results. Thanks Eric, we are enjoying our new floors.

We're happy we went with Home Solutionz to install new baseboards and flooring. Their crew was fantastic! Performed a great job, cleaned up every day, and worked with our schedule. The final look is amazing. Thank you so much, team!

I had GarageFloorCoating do a range of work at my house including the garage floors, driveway and outdoor patio. My garage floors were simply incredible. The mica flooring made my man cave and garage look awesome.
The driveway and patio were also done to create that wet look. Again, both looked terrific.
They arrived on time every day and were very professional. Any questions and concerns were addressed immediately.
I would give GarageFloorCoatings a 5 out of 5.

They were willing to guide me through all aspects of the install process. The crew is trustworthy and I did leave them alone a couple of days. Highly Recommend.

I used Desert Coatings (DC) to do painted concrete flooring throughout our house back in August or September of 2017. The flooring consisted of a total of approximately 1,700 square feet of flooring. The house that this work was done at was a vacation house at the time, so I wasn’t there to supervise the work when it was done. Other work was being done at the house by another contractor at the same time. Overall, the final finished floor was okay, but there were some things I wasn’t happy about.

During their install process I received a call from my general contractor that the flooring installers had gotten cement material all over the newly painted doors and baseboards. I called DC and they gave me a $700 credit to have the doors and baseboards fixed and repainted. After the flooring job was done, I came out to the house and discovered that the workers had spilled concrete in various spots on my newly painted patio cool deck. I was able to power wash some of it away, but some still remains to this day.

In a bedroom some tile had to be removed and DC had to use a self-leveling concrete to even out the floor, as well as raise a portion to make it level with the rest of the room. When I was able to come out and look at the flooring, I noticed that this area was very wavy and had bumps in some spots. I called DC and they came out and applied another coat, which improved it, but the finish still wasn’t smooth flat in the end.

In the living room they had to fill the entire room with about 2-3 inches of concrete to fill the void left by removing the existing wood underlayment that was previously used to build up the floor. Where this new poured concrete met the existing concrete, a crack developed about 6-12 months later, which caused the paint to chip away. There were a couple other cracks that developed too. I called DC and they sent someone out to fix it. The repair consisted of them applying more paint over the cracked area. The repair ended up not being flush with the rest of the finish, and the color did not match the rest of the flooring. This crack is in a prominently noticeable area of the house too.

Fast forward to 2020-2021, the crack reappeared and the paint began to crack and chip away again. I didn’t call DC right away because I still was not living in the house full time yet. After moving in full time, the chipping away became worse from walking over the area. I called DC twice in August 2022 (8/25 & 8/29), both times reaching an answering service. They said they would pass the message along and someone would call me by the next day. No one called me back. After the second call I decided to start emailing them (9/1/22). The first email response I got was that Tom Allen (the owner) was out of state that week, so I waited about two weeks and emailed them again (9/14). I received an email back (9/16) stating that they were on vacation and would call me back when they returned. I waited a month and did not receive a response, so I emailed again (10/17/22) and received no response. I emailed a final time (10/27/22) and again no response.

In addition to the above there are a few spots here and there that I wasn’t happy with – under the kitchen island (uneven finish and sheen), a few wavy uneven spots here and there throughout the house. I didn’t write a review at the time, because I just figured I’d live with it as is, but now that I can’t get a response from them, or have them come out to do the repair, I’m writing a response now.

I do not recommend and would not use Desert Coatings again (I felt this way before the lack of response, but even more so now), especially if you’re looking for a high-end finish. I have since read other reviews where they do not respond to follow up calls for repairs when needed.

Had Brandon come by and he won us over to hire this company. It all fell apart from there. We had 3 days to get this done. 1st day they removed our carpet for the following 2 days to lay tile. 2nd day no one showed up in the 2 hour window. I called in and spoke to Kristen. Kristen at first couldn't find our account, then said, she would call the installer. 1 hour goes by and she called back saying she couldn't get ahold of him. She did say she brought this to her manager. In my opinion, he/she should have called me to explain this situation and to reassure me that the job would get done, not Kristen. I do NOT recommend this company for any service they offer.

Professional touches that really make the garage POP. Thank you, Stacey - the install turned out really nice!
