Best Floor Coating in Phoenix AZ

In deciding on who to do my garage floor, Sledge Concrete was chosen based on an excellent presentation and sales job done by their salesman. Although, the most expensive of the 5 companies I received quotes from, the long term guarantee and statement of excellence in craftsmanship and durability sold me. Unfortunately their sales promises and operations departments do not jive.

The sales guy mentioned 3 grades available - basically plain, medium and supreme (not actual terms but you get the gist) with supreme being about twice the price of plain. The extra costs were explained as the top end application required more prep work which included a process called diamond grinding. The sales guy sold us on the long term guarantee and the superb look of the finished product.
We chose Sledge and cleared our garage as requested. On the day prior to our installation start, we were called that the install team would not be able to come until later in the day as they were being tied up with finishing a more pressing job. That was no problem for me but I told them I’d have to leave a door unlocked as I couldn’t be home in the afternoon until late.
I received a phone call in the early afternoon stating that our garage floor would need more prep work and that we would need to pay an extra $1600 more to get the diamond grinding done.

WTH? I stated that this had already been explained by the salesman and that even though the cost already exceeded other quotes by $1200, I had decided to go ahead with Sledge. I asked for the manager to call back.

Later in the afternoon, I received a call. The manager explained that the salesperson was an independent contractor and that the manager usually did 90% of the estimates and that the independent guy “got it wrong”.

I was exasperated that I had items sitting outside my garage and everything ready to go. The manager would NOT honour the salesman quote and again asked that I agree to pay the extra $1600. I refused but wanting to get the job done, I offered to pay half the “extra” cost - $800. The manager again refused.

I’m not sure if I was being played, scammed or attempted to be fleeced for more $$$. Or if there was some other reason Sledge couldn’t/wouldn’t complete my floor that day (possibly other “more pressing” jobs ?) but felt we were not treated fairly. I would not recommend this company.

*Sledge did refund my deposit with no problems.

I worked with Brian at Arizona Foundation Solutions. He was very professional and explained the whole process. We had piers and a heaving solution installed. The contractors who performed the work were professional and did the work in a timely manner. They put the yard back the way they found it and didn't leave a mess. I am very happy with the work they performed and feel comfortable that my foundation is stable and will no longer be a concern. The warranty provided peace of mind.

I cannot begin to say how thankful we are to have used Cardinal Concrete Coatings for our garage floor. I’ve always wanted to turn my garage into something beautiful. We love the transformation. I highly recommend them if anyone is looking to have their floors done. This company will take great care of you and will be very easy to work with. They were so thoughtful and professional on every level so once again thank you so much, we love our garage!

Great pay! Great benefits! I never worked here, but I know a couple people who do. In the construction business, its hard to find people that take care of their employees. If you are in the field of construction, come to work for these guys! Especially if you love fat paychecks and overtime! Also great if you wanna see the good ole U.S. of A!

I have had a lot of floor finishing done over the years but these guys are by far the best! I have had them do floors in a 2000 sq ft warehouse and two garages and the finish is far better than anything I have seen before. They use a ton of flake and seal it all with a thick clear coating. In the past I have had problems with tire marks on the finish but I have had no issues with this finish. They were in and out quick and clean. I am very impressed with Alan and his crew, I would recommend them with no reservations.

They sure know what they are talking about. Experts at restoring the health of your concrete!

Looks great!

I've done 8 large paving projects with Rose Paving and they did a great job on all of them. They excel in communication which is huge in my world of dealing with Tenants of large shopping centers. I'll definitely refer them to other Property Managers as I value their expertise and recommendations. Clint Von Tobel and Robert Eiler are really good project managers.

Excellent workmanship and service. Very pleased with the result. I have recommended this company two times already to my friends looking for epoxy garage flooring. A+

I contracted with Mel to widen our driveway, put in a new walkway to my front porch and pour a slab to extend my back patio. He came over on a Monday to prep the areas then returned on a Wednesday to complete the project. Mel's work is amazing. He and his crew know exactly what needs to be done. The end result has enhanced our home. I could not be more pleased.

I am also very pleased with Mel keeping me in the loop with scheduling, prep work and completion. Mel answered my questions and made sure this project was done professionally. I highly recommend Specialty Concrete.

Sun Valley took my stained patio, garage, driveway and entryway and made them beautiful. Highly recommend them.

Everyone was great! Would recommend this company, service and quality was excellent!!

American Epoxy Arizona (Adam) did absolutely an amazing job for our home flooring. We choose the dark brown with light brown highlights! It's absolutely amazing! Pictures don't do it justice, but I will post one for you to see. Again thank you so much Adam for making my floors look beautiful again.

I love this Company...they truly did a wonderful job on my yard and inside my home...they did a Professional job the Price was worth every bit of my tile and backyard look Fabulous... I truly recommend this Company to all my family and friends... I give them 5 stars...

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.

Awesome!!
