Hi,
My name is Michael Bethel. I have been installing concrete coating systems since 2014 working with two companies "Garage Force of Waco, Texas", which is a franchise and "Hammerjax Concrete Coatings", which is a family-owned and operated company in Waco, Texas. After working with these companies, I am very confident that I have the skills and knowledge necessary to own and operate a very successful business called "Armorcrete Concrete Coatings".
There are many different coating systems that target several industries including: beverage and wineries, Food Industries, factories and warehouses, retail and commercial establishments, kitchens, bars and hospitality industries, sporting facilities, hospitals, homes, garages, schools and Government facilities.
Working with Garage Force I have installed several of these systems including Medici, metallics, urethane concrete, quartz and vinyl chips. I would like to point out that Hammerjax Concrete Coatings only installs 1 type of these coating systems. The vinyl 1/4" full chip system. They are averaging about $60,000 a month. There are four employees consisting of the owner and another guy who sale floors and me and the owners son installing the floors. You can find all the tech data behind the chemicals I will be using at Citadelfloors.com.
The equipment to get this business up and running is expensive and is the reason why there are not a lot of people in the concrete coating business. However this leaves a broad market of potential clients/$$$. Here is a list of the equipment that will be needed to successfully install one of these coating systems.
