We couldn’t be happier with our experience having our garage floor redone! Matt, the owner, is incredibly nice, personable, and easy to work with. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and his team followed through on all their timelines and did a fantastic job. The finished floor looks amazing, and everyone who comes over comments on how great it looks! On top of that, it’s an absolute dream to clean, which is such a bonus. It’s hard to find a company that delivers on both excellent customer service and quality workmanship, but Matt and his team absolutely do. The entire process was smooth and stress-free, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re thinking about having your garage floor done, I highly recommend Matt and his team. You won’t be disappointed!

I found MGP on the internet and contacted Matt owner and we scheduled an appointment for a bid and he was right on time, answered all of my questions. I asked him about the process for coating my garage floor and about his company and I felt very confident. When we agreed to the project he sent me the proposal and schedule which we agreed to. Very good communication. On the morning of the job his crew showed up again right on time and started working right away. They were very professional and worked very hard in the heat. What I really appreciated was the eye to detail!!! Anyway, they did a great job and have no reservations about recommending them!

We are so thankful we used MGP - Matt Gifford for having our epoxy on our garage floor. From the very beginning Matt was on time when he came out to give us a bid. We were delighted that he actually gave us a number on the cost and a date he could start the job. After several calls to differ companies Matt was by for the best. His team came out, on time, and finished their work that day. Exceptional-give him a call you won’t be sorry. Don & Suzie Noble

I had an amazing experience with MGP Coating! From start to finish, Matt Gifford was professional, honest, and easy to work with.
He took the time to answer all my questions, kept me informed throughout the process, and made sure everything was done right.
My garage floor turned out even better than I imagined. The finish is beautiful, and the attention to detail really shows. It's completely transformed the space, and I couldn't be happier with the results.
If you're thinking about getting your garage floor coated, I highly recommend MGP Coating. They truly care about the quality of their work and making sure their customers are happy. I would like to extend a special thank you to Daniel and Roman for a fantastic job!
