I have a customer that just had a 700-800 sf pole barn built. It has been over 30 days since the concrete was poured and he wants it to be epoxy flaked/coated, that's no problem. The catch is, there are some imperfections in the concrete from the Mason's pour and because of that, the PM running the job is going to cover the cost to grind the concrete and smooth the imperfections back out. Based on pictures I have gotten, the floor doesn't look like it will need anything special, most likley just a simple grind with 18/20 grit diamonds and a little patch here and there and it should be good to coat. Normally my prep price is combined into my overall cost of coating the floor with flakes, but with this situation, I need to provide the PM a price to grind the floor and the customer a price to coat it. I will be renting a machine to grind because I don't own my own yet so that will be a a factor of the costs, but does anyone have any recommendations as to what $/sf they would charge for the grinding. Do you have a general price for that service that you are willing to share. Trying to get an idea of what to charge/ what a typical going rate for that type of service is.

I am amazed at how much information is given in this course. Very informative and I love how everything is explained throughly! i am excited to trying my first floor and looking forward to the outcome. I have a question, is there a list of tools as well a list of the products recommended or products you use that you recommend?

I've been absent. I owe you an explanation and a real update. Here it is. First — I apologize for not being more present in this community. That's on me. Life and business pulled me in a lot of directions and this group didn't get the attention it deserved. I'm fixing that now. Here's the truth about why things are changing: I built this school and ran it free for a long time. Free doesn't work. Not because I'm greedy — but because anything worth having requires real investment, and a community I can't sustain financially is a community I can't show up for consistently. My time is valuable. Your results are valuable. That equation only works if this is a real business. So here's what's new: The Concrete & Coatings School is now a tiered membership — Standard, Premium, and VIP. There's a 7-day free trial so you can explore before you commit. If you've been here as a free member you'll stay on Standard and you can see exactly what each tier includes. Here's what's been happening on my end: Floor Rescue moved into a new shop. We've been restructuring the entire company — bringing on new project managers and building systems so the business runs without me on every job. That work directly benefits you because what I'm building becomes the playbook I hand you inside VIP. We just installed the new MatriX LVX product on a garage floor — the results are incredible. That content is coming. We're planning in-person trainings in Texas and Nebraska in April. Details coming soon. This Sunday I'm going live inside the community for the first real training session under the new model. You don't want to miss it. To my three guys who have been paying and staying — thank you. You've been loyal and I see it. We're about to make this worth every penny. Drop your questions below. I'd rather have a real conversation than leave you guessing. Let's build. — Jeremy
