Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
When you need wisdom and advice. Seek out a guru when.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
You need wisdom and advice about remodeling and design. Lock
on and listen right now to Nick the Construction Guru.
Here is award winning remodeling expert Nick Kerzner.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Just talk eleven thirty w I S and Nick the
construction Gurer. Here. I have a returning guest. Actually you
were on just a couple of weeks ago. We have
him back because he's going to talk about new product.
I have Kevin Hunt from Premier Garage. We're going to
talk about first, obviously world class lighting and so this
is a new product we've been talking about. Everybody seems

(00:43):
to be in the floor business polyspartaic epoxy floor business,
and you know we've talked about it several times, Kevin.
Where these guys are just popping up everywhere because it's
an it's an easy product to do if you do
it well. We're going to talk about some of that,
aren't we. By the way, I'm sorry to introduce you
because you're such a regular Kevin Hunt from a world

(01:06):
class lighting, Premiere Garage and Tailored Living.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
I'm sorry, Nick, you've been drinking again.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
No, actually, it's cognitive failure.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Well better I don't know which is better.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Oh and by the way, I just want to let
the listeners know and you can Kevin, Yeah, maybe is
that stem cells yet? But anyway, we're podcasts now. We're
on the iHeart app with a podcast, the Construction Guru.
So that's exciting because if you can't get up this
early on Sunday morning, or if you're at mass or

(01:39):
at church, you can get the show. So I'm happy
about that. We'll talk a little bit about that, a
little more about that after break. But Kevin, we're looking
at something here. You can hold that up to the
mic so the listeners can see it. But you can
see that it's almost like almost like a quarry tile
when you look at it. Talk about this, this is

(01:59):
really cool stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Well, just from my perspective, you know, you go and
you look at garage floors and you got the same colors,
and you know, after a while you kind of got
sick of you know, you've seen the same thing. You
got to change things up a little bit. So we
got the Stone series at Premier Garage and it's a
bit of an upgrade.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
And uh, it looks like a granite countertop for Fran.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
It's like a real rich, elegant color. Yeah, it's the
way I would describe it.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
It's really cool. And U can you see this online?

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, I'm sure it's on there. Okay, I will say this,
and I wasn't going to do this till the end
of the show, but I don't want to forget because
we both have cognitive problems Apparentka.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah, ah, this is really it's really not anything dangerous
because you can literally I've read this and actually a
couple of my compadres here at w I S and
have talked about it. You can actually run a country
if you're cognitively challenged. I found out.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, sometimes it doesn't work out very well, but that's
pretty funny, nick uh. Not bad for being drunk. The
other thing, when you when you're looking at this, and
if this is an upgrade, and for your viewers listeners,
I'll offer this for free if they mentioned your show

(03:15):
for free, the upgrade for free. Yeah, it's it's fifty
cents extra. A square foot will not be paying for that.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Well, well, so what you're reducing to the ridiculous? What
is what's the average square footage of a two car
garage five square feet. Okay, so it's and fifty bucks.
It's a big number.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Well, it's it's decent.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yeah, this stuff is really cool. We'll have to you'll
have to give out a website where people can see this.
But it almost looks three dimensional. And you know the
other thing I'm thinking about with you and I have
talked about a lot of the the epoxy, especially the
ones that people do themselves. I don't even know if
it's a POxy, but the lay and prey, a buddy
of mine used to call it where you paint it

(03:56):
and then you throw them plastic chips in there, Yeah,
to make it like the you know, the institutional flooring.
One of the things I'm hearing from a lot of people, Kevin,
and I don't know if you are, is that that
is very slippery. In some cases.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
There's a couple problems the industry has right now. One
is we call it wacka moles. Everybody's popping up and
doing this. Sometimes it's a little bit easier, but you
got to put the grid in there. If you don't
put the grid in there to stop Missus Jones from slip,
and she's gonna fall this stuff is slick when there's
when there's nothing on it. Well, and we've been doing that.
I come across floors that don't have it to this day.

(04:31):
And it's not just the cheap stuff, it's professionals that
are doing it that don't put it in.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Well, professionals that are doing this. Let's talk about the
wacka moles that you always bring up. And I know
there's a lot of legitimate companies out there, but why
are so many people deciding to get into coding garage
floors and they're all toeuting that theirs is the best.
You know, you got all these different chemical adhesion processes
that people talk about. Can you divide some of that

(04:57):
out and just explain to us, because here's what people do.
They look look at you know, they look at five
or six of these guys. It all basically looks the same.
And of course, until you brought this this premiere one
stone in which I if you're thinking about a garage floor,
you gotta at least see this. Why are they all
get into this business and why are there so many
failures out there of garage flooring Because it's a relatively

(05:22):
in the world of remodeling and home improvement. This is
a relatively new process compared to you know, say remodeling
a kitchen or something. Garage floors, I would say probably
ten fifteen years ago you had a few professionals that
did this. Now it's like everybody and their brother buys
a trailer they're running. You see these trailers wrapped up,

(05:43):
garage coatings, all of this different stuff. What's the deal?
Is this such a lucrative business and so easy to
do that everybody can get into it? Or why is
that happening?

Speaker 1 (05:52):
It's not that lucrative and it's not that easy. In fact,
it's kind of like everybody goes around chasing the other
guy's tail, is the way I do describe it. We've
been doing this for twenty seven years, and you could
say that we pioneered this business. And the same is
true with the outdoor lighting.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
I know it's true. In the outdoor lighting, there's no
doubt about it. I can pay.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
What's amazing is these two companies and processes they almost
ran parallel, the outdoor lighting and the floors. And what's
happening is unless you Sherman Williams is a very good example.
They're a supplier to the painting industry. Well, they've got
a POxy in their place, and they sell to their
suppliers and it's the next greatest and best thing. The
difference between them and us is one is we're massively,

(06:35):
massively hesitant to ever change a product. We track all
of our products. We're super particular about what we buy
in the company we buy ours from, and we've been
buying ours from the same company for twenty seven years.
These are massive companies that make these chemical companies that
make these products. It's not Sherman Williams. It's not you know, minards.
They can do what they want. But like I said, Nick,

(06:56):
I mean, how much of a fanatic do you think
you have to be to literally track every job, what
product was used on that job, you know, what was
the temperature that day, what was the condition of the floor.
We literally track everything. We're not algical.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Progression for you guys, because you were doing you know,
you were also one of the first ones in the
garage organizational cabinet tree. I know a lot of people
we used to joke about it with in kitchens. They'll say, oh,
you know, they got these old Mediterranean cabinets. Cabinets in
their kitchen and they're going to do a complete kitchen remodel.
They say, oh, can you save the cabinets because we're
going to put them up in the garage. And you know,

(07:34):
most of the cabinets today, even in higher end houses,
which is amazing to me, you're having particle board, shelving
particle board on the interiors. Do you have you ever
seen what break fluid does to that stuff? No, it's
it's insanity. And so you guys got into a higher
end cabinet product that can can house some of the

(07:55):
toxic chemicals and things like that that people have in
their garage. It was a logical progress to do flooring
as well, because that was the last you know, you
do this beautiful organizational cabinet work, benches, slat walls, all
of that, and then you have a concrete floor with
oil stains on it. And let's face it, my buddy
Tommy Elioto just did my driveway. I am, I'm doing

(08:20):
the same thing you started this with this.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
I have to see him today.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Yeah, yeah, so Lake Country Concrete. Everybody, everybody that listens
to the show knows who he is. So Tommy, we're
giving you kind of a thumbs up here. But you know,
he put a beautiful, beautiful driveway in and one of
my guys came in and there was a truck leaking
a little bit of oil. I was out there for
like an hour and a half scrubbing that because it
does it absorbs it. It's very porous and it gets

(08:43):
in there well. In a garage. I mean, take me
to a garage that's over ten years old. It doesn't
have oil stains or break or some kind of fluid
that stained that floor, because you really can't clean it up.
So here you are, you're putting in all this organizational
cabinet tree, you're doing these slat walls. You got the baskets,
all the lofts, which I love. We'll talk about that
maybe a little bit if you allow me to. I

(09:04):
know you get sick of certain things. I took it,
but that's an amazing product to me. But then you
got this ugly floor. So this was a logical progression.
As I'm looking at this. You know, one of the
things that you've taught me about this flooring is that
you can pour brek fluid on this. Why would you?
But if you're doing a break job and you get
break fluid on there, gasoline, any kind of paint inners.

(09:25):
You just take a paper towel and wipe this stuff up.
It's not going to absorb into the crate.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Now it's not a very porous, you know product. That's
that's one of the benefits of it. Salt damage and
stuff doesn't happen. And it's just it protects your floor
and it protects you the homeowner when you're on it
and you know it's wet. You know, that's a good
reason I said this, I think on your last show.
I'll say it again. All the fire departments are redoing
their floors just so they can have the grit in

(09:50):
their floors. And they can because they're running. Well one
guy falls, that's a big deal.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah, yeah, they're running and you know, and when you're
trying to squeeze out of a car in the middle
of summer, one thing. You know, if you have a
tight two car garage, you got the tennis balls hanging
and all that, so you're not hitting stuff. And you know,
I go into so many garages have that. But you
get out, you put that foot out and if their
salt are on the ground, if there's a melted snow
on the ground and god forbid, you were doing some
work and you didn't get all the grease up. It

(10:17):
is a very, a very dangerous situation, no doubt about it.
And many of the garages have a step up into
the house. You know, the garage is usually a foot
so lower. While stepping up on that, you got your
hands are full of groceries and or the kids are
running in and out with hockey equipment. It slippery floors
are not a good recipe for garages, let's face it.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
No, they're not one hundred percent with you on that one.
And I've encountered a few of them where they didn't
put the proper product in the top coats, and that's
a problem. And sometimes the other thing that separates us
a little bit from other people too, is our top
coats kind of unique and it does not yellow or
fade with any UV rays on it. I've had that
problem with actually a very good plumber friend of mine.

(10:58):
He had to redo his hold.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
And the problem is it doesn't fade evenly because you
have if you leave the doors open for you know,
during a sunny day, it's only going to be in
front of the doors, So it really it becomes it. Actually,
you focus on those areas.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Because yellow is not a good color.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, yellow is not for floors or teeth, right right, Yeah,
So this is how many steps are in this. This
looks like a many step process.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Well, it's a two step process. Normally, if we have
to fix the floor pitting, a whole bunch of other problems,
we call that resurfacing, that's a three that's a three
day process. Then our product's thicker than everybody else's, so
it's going to take a little longer to cure. And
we don't accelerate the drying time, so it's going to
take a little bit longer to cure. So so when

(11:46):
you say this is a little slower.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
When you say that, okay, why is it important? How
would a guy take a short cut on preparing the
garage floor? Obviously not grinding it at all. I've actually
talked to guys that said, oh no, you don't have
to grind it off. Try sodium phosphate. You put that
on there and you can you can clean it.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
I've seen a floor done with that. Yeah. Actually a
couple that stuff comes right up in about two years ago.
That's bad.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
This was the guy's doing the floors.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah, no, there's I think there's still people out there
that are doing that. And I can tell you right now,
you have to grind that floor properly to have the
product that here. And why is that that's what it
needs a good bond. That's why if you're doing a
floor and there's cracks and you see it when you're
when you're resurfacing and or you're going to have to,
you want to get all of that material out of
there so it has a good bond.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
So you have that cream coat that they put on
top of concrete which kind of smooths everything out that's
not as porous is a regular concrete. So you're grinding
that top off of there not only get the impurities out,
but to create a very porous surface.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, we're just taking a little bit of the cream
off the top and uh yeah, it's it's gonna adhere
to it very well.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
How long does something like that take to grind that off.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Uarage I'm always talking about if the floor is in
good shape, Yeah, it should probably take a half a day, okay.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
And then you have dust containment and all that. Yeah,
we have a hepovac Okay, quite a few of them,
and then what's the next step.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Then they're going to put down the base coat, and
then they're going to put down the flake.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
So this this looks to me as I look at
this product, that it looks like there's there's a lot
of there's not just a few tittley wings in here,
there's a lot of flakes in here. It looks like stone.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah, we pile the flake on and then they come
back the next day and they take it all off and.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
The loose stuff they take off.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah, there's like boxes and boxes boxes full of loose
flake that they take off of that wow wow. And
then with the top quoat they put the top coat on.
But with that comes a granular substance that that causes
you to have a little bit more traction.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
This is this is really cool. I wish I wish
visually people could see this. Well, we got to f
find that website. Let's do that on breaks so that
people can take a look at this because I know
sometimes people are sitting there with an iPad, I know what,
deean pypedo. I always say, have your computer there so
you can look at some of the stuff they do,
which is a quatica. But with this, I think you
really want to see this. This is not like anything
I've ever seen before. So let's take a short break

(13:57):
and when we come back, let's give out a website
where people can see where this, what this looks like.
The colors are fascinating to me. The beautiful well where
we turn after this break on a news Talk eleven
thirty wisnch Talk eleven thirty WISN Returning from break, Nick
the Construction Guru. Listen every show I say the same thing.

(14:20):
If you're thinking about a remodeling project, get a few opinions,
make one of those ours. We'd love to come out
and talk to you about a new kitchen, bathroom, reck
room addition, any of those things. You can reach us
on the worldwide Web at kursonerink dot com. That's k
e r z N e r i NC dot com,
or you can give us a call at two sixty
two five six seven twenty five hundred. Kurzner is the
only company to win the Better Business Buier Torch Award

(14:42):
for Ethics and Integrity three times, as well as seventy
five regional, local and national awards. For our work, we
can talk about that when you give us a call.
Another thing I wanted to introduce is that the construction
Grew is now up on the iHeart app podcast. You
can you can listen to us. If you can listen
to us live on the show, you can certainly check
us out on a podcast. And Kevin, you'll be happy

(15:05):
to know that you were the introductory first show with
world class lighting that we did a couple of weeks ago.
That's up there. If you want to listen to that.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
You should always put your best foot forward.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
Now that's right, that's right. But he couldn't make it,
so he used you. We were going to talk about
the website and where you can see this product, and
I'm going to tell you, I think most people know
what garage epoxy floors look like, you know, and they're
very attractive. They do take an area that especially on
these really you know, the newer homes today. The garages

(15:35):
are normally drywalled, everything's kind of nice, and the flooring
always kind of looks after the first couple of years,
kind of stained up and banged up. So POxy floors
are I think a dream for many people that have houses.
But as we have talked, about with Kevin here on
several occasions. There's a right way and a wrong way
to do this. And I want to talk to you

(15:56):
a little bit about price disparity too as we go here,
so people can kind of get an idea of, you know,
where they should be in that realm. I know you're
always comfortable talking about pricing, and that's why I'd love
to have you on the show, because I think the
listeners want to know this isn't a rich man's sport either.
We always talk about that you don't have to be
rich to do a POxy floors. But this floor you
brought in today, if you're just tuning in, he brought

(16:18):
a floor in today called Premiere one Stone. It looks
different from anything I've seen. It's it's it's a more
pronounced surface, and the thing I really love about it
is you're not going to slide on this floor. I
know that a lot of those floors that have the
really nice clear coote on them are slippery when it's wet.
We've even heard some people who have complained about that.

(16:41):
I've had people actually call me up and tell me
he is there anything we can do now at this point? Now,
that it's over and on both interior floors and exterior floors,
and you have that built right into this product. I
can see. And then you go an extra step and
add some grit as I understand it is that correct.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
One hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
Okay, So just let's talk about where people can see
this product, because it it does look different for most
of them.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
You can go to Premiere Garage Walkishaw and you'll be
able to look at it there. Or you can call
this phone number that I'm going to give you two
six two eight seven five thirty ten eight seven, five
thirty ten. We have a really nice showroom you do,
and you'll be able to see a lot of the
colors there. You know, stuff for whatever reason doesn't show
up as well on a camera as it does in person.

(17:25):
So if you go to the website, it's not going
to give you a true picture of anything.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
This actually has this this I'm not kidding you. You could
put this in your kitchen floor. I mean it's unattractive.
Yeah it's and I'm sure you know I'm going to
ask you. I might stick my put in my mouth
here again, but this can can this be used like
in a laundry room. Can this be used like if
it doesn't have to be a garage, right, just concrete.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
A lot of people that do basements, you do, okay, yeah,
so yeah, you can use this wherever you want. We've
done kitchens already with this, We've probably done five really yeah,
and uh, trying to think of what else we've done
pool areas, indoor pools. So yeah, there's there's a lot
of you.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
It's pretty much I'm assuming it's impervious to any kind
of liquid, right, I mean it this stops it. Yeah,
So Kevin, when when we went on break, we were
we were going to talk a little bit about what
what is the what are the differences here? I mean
we talked about you have to grind it, right. You
guys have some heavy equipment to do this with. I

(18:28):
I've seen I've seen your operation. It's it's it's no joke.
I mean, you guys got the real stuff. It's commercial grade.
And then I've seen the guys that look like they
have floor sanders.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
I think the biggest thing is prepping the floor is
obviously you got to really grind that and get a
little bit of that milk off the top. So you
got to bind this is going to bind to, you know,
the concrete. The other thing is the thickness of a product.
The POxy is it's literally twice as thick as what
other people use.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Why is that important?

Speaker 1 (18:53):
I would have to think that having something that because
you know, I'll give you a perfect for instance. That's
a really good question, and that nobody's ever asked if
you take this real thin stuff from the box stores.
This is an example of the extreme example. Yes, uh,
you can see where that stuff wears out when you've
seen it. It's gonna wear out right where those tires at, right,
So it is gonna.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Pan those tires the step into the house. You always
see that.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
You can always just watch it a POxy just coming
off so.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
Paint and then chips right.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, and that's what the problem is.
So you can see it how it wears. This stuff
is not going to wear down. If this stuff ever
does fail, it'll be because you know, there's an area
when we were grinding or somebody else was grinding that
necessarily us where you know, it just didn't adhere to
that surface quite right in that one area. You know

(19:43):
there's you know, it's not going to wear out That.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Leads to another question, what's the warranty.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
It's ten years, but your warranty is only as good
as the company. So a lot of these guys, and
you know this neck call him whack of moles, whack
a mole, is not going to be in business very long,
and he doesn't really care what warranty is. He give
it for a million years and if your floor fails,
I'll give you a million dollars. Well, he's not going
to be around, so he doesn't really care what he's doing.
The other thing is insurance. We're fully insured. You'll will

(20:11):
get an insurance. You're talking about that in last insurance certificates.
With every job I've got, we just renewed, renewed our insurance,
so I got all brand new certificates. And that's kind
of a big deal, you know, it's it's always a
good idea to have everybody fully insured.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
Don't marginalize that. It's a really big deal, because let's
talk about what happens if they don't. And they're operating
some major equipment here. Many times they're around a lot
of valuable possessions in the house. I mean, you know,
some of these people have some car well, who doesn't
have a car that's not fifty grand. Now your average
car is fifty grand, right, I mean some people have

(20:46):
their toys in there. You have to be careful around
that stuff. With proper insurance, you don't have to worry
about it. Somebody gets hurt on the job if you
don't have insurance. I always say this, I don't know
who's going to be responsible, but I would guess that
the hospital or the organization that takes care of that
person after the injury is going to want to get paid.
So they're going to explore every option. And I said,

(21:08):
you know, it may not the homeowner may not be responsible,
but it's going to take a Philadelphia lawyer to prove
it in court. And why do you know, I just
want my floor coded. I don't want to be in
court with Perry Mason fighting some guy who got didn't
have proper insurance. So and we make a big deal
about it because it happens more often than not that
they don't have these guys in a trailer. In the
state of Wisconsin, you don't have to have workman's comp

(21:30):
if you're a single operator. That's a glitch in the
laws somehow that doesn't make any sense to me. But
if you meet nine criteria, you don't have to have
workmen's comp. And typically the guy tells the insurance company
or tells the homeowner. I don't have to have workman's
comp because I work alone. Well, lo and behold, there's
always another guy there with them, right and working under
the table. And that's if they get hurt, what happens.

(21:52):
I don't know exactly what's going to happen. To be
honest with you, I don't want to know, right. So
we talked a lot about that on our last show
with insurance. A lot of these guys are popping up.
Are these franchises that these guys buy or what? Or
do they just started themselves and buy the barter themselves.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
It's sold a lot of these products, not what we use,
but a lot of the other products are sold at
supply houses where contractors going and they say, oh, that's
all you got to do is buy this and this
and you can start doing the POxy floors. It takes us,
I'm not kidding you. The training process on this is
probably i'd say a solid six months if you really
want to master the craft that you do. Sure, I

(22:28):
can train you in a week and you can be
a hack out there and spill chemicals on somebody's driveway,
which is easy to do. Yeah, and it doesn't come off.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
This has epoxy has to be mixed, right, Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
It's it's it's well. Picture this, Nick, you got a
five gallon pair. This is good. And you got a
picture on the end of a drill. And you've got
a guy that pulls the drill out while it's still run.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
Where does that go?

Speaker 1 (22:50):
That goes everywhere?

Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, that that's who you don't want in a kitchen. Yeah,
if you're using your wife's kitchen because she'll kill you.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
Yeah, or in your driveway for that. How do you
get this off?

Speaker 1 (22:59):
If it doesn't come off, so you're stuck there? There
is no uh, there's there's no solid there's no forgiveness
with this product.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Cool. How does this go on? Does it get rolled?
Does it get sprayed? How do you put this on? Uh?

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Roll it and uh we we squeege it and roll it.
We do it with everything. Uh pop quotes same thing.
We squeege you in roll Now.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
We talked about this on the last show, but I
know that there's people out there listening that are thinking
that my garage floor is not worth doing this too.
It's cracked, it's broken, you guys, I would have never
believed that. Again, I'm gonna bring up the job in Pewaukee. Yeah,
I'm just sufficed to say that the concrete was a mess,
and probably, you know, nine out of ten people would

(23:40):
have looked at it and said there's no way that
we can do that. I went back and I didn't
bring this up for over a year because I wanted
to see if it was going to hold up. But
that that floor is holding up.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yeah, usually, uh, you know, that was a pretty tough floor.
But you know, you're you're onto something pretty good. If
a floor is going to fail, it's gonna fail quick,
you know. So the factorated year. Yeah, your first six months,
your floor is going to fail. If it's going to fail, yeah,
And the problem with that is, let's say you've got
a contractor out there, and I'm sure there's more than
one where you have problems with. You can go bankrupt

(24:12):
really quick doing this.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
Yes, absolutely. Lawyers aren't cheap and experience doesn't come easy.
That that floor was an absolute mess. I even told her, Kevin,
because we worked in tandem. I did the interior, loft
and stuff in that garage. It's not a lake. It
was it was worth doing. It's it's a nice house.

(24:35):
But I was concerned that that floor was going to
have to come out if she wanted to do a POxy.
So I think, did I introduce you or her? Did
you introduce her to me? I introduced her Okay, yeah, okay,
And I said, I don't I don't know if he
can do it. Lisa, Yeah, I don't tell anybody else. Now,
you can't say the names because.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
I wasn't going to say the last name with her.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
Yeah it is Lisa. Yeah, great gal doing a great
job on that house. But you know, we were concerned.
We didn't think that this is I'm gonna talking one
crack here. This this was a mess. They had poured
the concrete around the wall and I went over there
after you guys were done, and she said, you got
to look at my floor. And Lisa, it's funny because

(25:19):
she doesn't just park her car in there. She has
her little lounge in there where she has her cigarette,
and she has the upstairs is going to be kind
of a she shed she wants to do that so
she's got a lot of aspirations for that garage other
than just parking vehicles and storing you know, law equipment.
But I went in there and that floor looked like
a million bucks.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
I appreciate that, Nick. It was one of our hardest,
harder floors ado I've had that we had. When we
get in a situation like that, or I get in
and I have my guys come and look at it,
it's a lot easier to have them look at it
and give their opinions. They tend to complain less. Yeah,
because that was a tough one.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
So Kevin, I did promise the listeners one thing, and
we got them. Make it quick because we're almost done here.
But what did you What can you tell people about
the pricing of these products?

Speaker 1 (26:08):
If you're doing a five hundred square foot floor, you're
looking at about, assuming nothing's wrong with it, thirty five
hundred dollars, Okay, average garage is probably about five hundred squa.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
And so what are the other guys is it? Are
they the same?

Speaker 1 (26:20):
I think the pricing in the industry is probably right
around the same. You might get some guys out there
and it's like anything, Nick, if you get somebody coming
in there at like two grand on a thirty five
hundred dollars floor. You're going to get what you deserve.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Yeah, okay, So it just gives you kind of an idea.
It's not it's not a rich man's sport. I'd love
to talk about it more, but we're up against the
end of the show here. But give out the information.
You guys come out through free estimates all of that.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Right, Yes we do, and as of probably three weeks ago,
I'm doing a lot of floors this year.

Speaker 3 (26:51):

five thirty ten. That's for the garage floors Premier Garage

Lightings two six two five form do another show four

Speaker 3 (27:07):
I love talking about world class outdoor lighting. And the
other thing is when you guys come out, they will
go over the whole process with you, explain everything to you.

say about the whole World Class family, there's there's no
high pressure sales you guys. You don't have to close
