A crew will never be sent out to your home without the owner there thru the entire process. There is no trip fee, all estimates are FREE. A rough idea can be be given over the phone. When we do come out to quote many samples are brought so you can walk on and feel the texture of the coating. We have a 5 year warranty on material and labor.

I was referred to Kurt Landis from The Ground Up, Inc, by a neighbor. Kurt is phenomenal and both he and his wife Michelle are a joy to work with. Kurt installed an absolutely beautiful epoxy floor in my garage and was friendly, professional, and thorough. I’ve been showing my new garage floor off to friends and several people have commented on what a wonderful job Kurt did. I am exceptionally pleased with the results and will recommend The Ground Up, Inc to other neighbors and friends.

The initial work went well. The work was completed in Aug 2017. By spring of ‘18, it was bubbling in a couple spots. Kurt came and repaired it. In Oct 2018, more bubbles and a couple spots where the coating delaminated/ cracked. Called and asked him to come out and take a look. They called back once and said it’s not there problem. “It must be the concrete.” Dismissed the problem without even looking at it. Tried to call back again, left message. No return call. So much for a guarantee.

Response from The Ground Up Inc
That is correct, it is not a problem with the epoxy coating, the concrete floor is shifting which is making the epoxy crack. It is not under warranty. A coating will only be as good as the floor it is affixed to. We have no control if concrete shifts and breaks the epoxy. Epoxy is a coating. I called and left a message with your wife..... I told her that it was now too cold to repair a garage floor, the epoxy would not cure correctly, and that it would have to wait till spring. You were on our list to make the repair this spring.

disappointing
Description of Work: The onsite estimate went well. Provided a written estimate a day later. No surprise there. But when I asked him to put down a definate start date and finish time as we discussed, all I got is an email he will pass on the job.

Response from The Ground Up Inc
Provided estimate, customer kept wanting to decrease the price. Gave a discount and settled on price. Customer wanted to have verbiage changed on contract for a guaranteed finish date. We cannot guarantee on a contract when a job will start and finish. It takes a week to receive the custom order colors and there may be unforeseen circumstances when a job is started that may extend it a day or two. Customer also wanted a smooth finish on the floor with no grit added to the top coat. We saw this as a possible liability. We felt uncomfortable on doing the job, and thought the customer may become a problem with paying for the bill if the top coat was not smooth, it the days of the job were off, etc. We decided to pass on doing the job.

They did a fantastic job, thorough and great, he is not a problem. I would recommend him to any body, he is clean and on time. His wife is very nice to she is the one that answers the phone. I have had problems with people, I tell them where i am at, what I need and they do not call, they do not bather to email I am an hour and a half away from my property that I needs the most help with so I say to them if you can not make it let me know because I have many properties and I take care of my mum full time plus I have four kids so I do not need to take extra trips to people that could not even be bothered to call me and I had that happen four weeks ago I lined up four guys and non of them showed up, not one of them called. Some of the staff I have got from Angie's list have been fantastic.
Description of Work: He is doing epoxy from top to bottom.

My experience with Kurt Landis was very good. Kurt is very professional. He came out and gave me an estimate. He explained in detailed every step that would be done to epoxy the garage floor. He had many color samples to choose from. Kurt came back the next week to apply the epoxy. He first ground the top layer of the garage floor so the cement was white. He then applied the epoxy and decorative color flakes. He let that sit overnight and came back the next day to apply the finishing coat. My garage floor was very discolored and had a bad smell to it before Kurt put the epoxy on. The garage now smells fresh and the floor looks very nice. After talking to a neighbor who had his garage floor done by a different company I found that he paid almost double what I paid. So I am extremely happy that I now have a great looking garage at a great price. I would definitely recommend Kurt to anyone.
