Specializing in Epoxy Floor Coatings and Polished Concrete. Professional installs with the best solutions to put down what sticks around! Serving the industrial, commercial and residential customers for over 4 years.

"These guys did a fantastic job on my garage floor. I've done epoxy myself, on my garage floor in a previous house, and this was hands down a better option. The machines they used to do the prep work were amazing. It ground off everything and got the concrete prepped nicely. The product they used was also heavy duty and high end. At their recommendation we did a full flake covering and it was a great choice. It's been about six months and it's holding up beautifully. The finish is still perfect and I have no doubt it will hold up for years to come. These guys were honest, friendly, punctual, had a great price, and overall did a fantastic job. I couldn't be happier! I would highly recommend them for your floor covering needs."

Acheson Auto Works was founded in 1947 by Sam Acheson, Sr. Still owned by the same family, Sam Acheson, Jr. continues to operate this business utilizing his father's old-fashioned business principles: Be honest, make sure charges are fair, complete work quickly and handle all problems promptly and politely.

"I am from out of town and needed to drive back home right after Thanksgiving. My car started having issues. Not being from the area, I did a google search for a Land Rover mechanic (the Local Land Rover dealership was 2 weeks out even though I told them I was from out of town and needed to get home) and found Acheson Auto Works. I am so glad I did... I contacted Acheson auto Works Wednesday the day before Thanksgiving and they got me in the same day and diagnosed my vehicle and got me on my way. Thank you so much for the great service! Would definitely use them again or would highly recommend."

Buffing and Polishing questions, answered by experts

Common causes include impact, heat, and improper cleaning agents. Regular maintenance prevents major issues.

Quartzite countertops are porous, meaning that liquids can seep into the stone and stain them. You’ll need to seal them before installing and resealing annually, depending on use and stone material. Sealing will help prevent stains and etching. On the other hand, you don’t need to seal quartz and other engineered stone countertops since they aren’t porous.

Using water when cutting stone drastically reduces the amount of dust that comes off the stone. It’s beneficial to cut down on the amount of dust for respiratory and other safety reasons, such as keeping your vision clear while using an electric tool. Even with protective eyewear, the dust can still cloud your safety glasses. You should always wear protective gear when cutting stone.

Due to the acidity, using vinegar to clean quartz countertops can actually damage them. In fact, doing so can cause discoloration and surface damage in the quartz. While it’s possible to clean other countertops, like laminate, tile, and butcher block, with vinegar, it’s best to stay from this cleaning solution if you have quartz in your kitchen or bathroom.

You can’t change the color of the stone, but you can update granite countertops without replacing them by painting them. Because granite is a porous material, you’ll want to seal them first before painting them so that the paint doesn’t hurt the surface. This is important because you don’t want to devalue your counters by damaging the original surface; even if you don’t like the color now, you or a new homeowner may want to remove the paint someday and return them to their original color. You can also cover them with
