At Two Brothers Epoxy, every job follows a well-organized process designed for efficiency and precision. From the moment our crew arrives at the shop to the final quality check on your freshly coated floor, we ensure everything runs smoothly. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how we mobilize and execute a flawless epoxy installation.

Morning Preparation at the Shop

Our day begins early. The crew arrives at the shop at 6:00 AM, where they spend the first 30 minutes prepping their vans. We keep all necessary materials in-house, so there’s no need for last-minute supply runs. Our warehouse is meticulously organized, with a barcoded inventory system tracking everything from paint rollers to specialized coatings. Each team follows a detailed checklist to ensure they have everything needed based on the square footage and floor type of the scheduled project.

Mobilization & Arrival at the Job Site

By 6:30 AM, the teams are on the road. Our CRM system, Housecall Pro, sends out automated notifications 48 and 24 hours in advance to remind clients of their scheduled appointment and ensure the floor is cleared for installation. This eliminates delays and ensures our team can get straight to work upon arrival.

Typical arrival time at the job site is between 7:00 and 7:30 AM, depending on the location. Upon arrival, we stage the work area, unload the necessary tools, and begin surface preparation.

Surface Preparation & Epoxy Application

Step 1: Grinding the Surface
We start by mechanically grinding the top layer of the existing concrete. This is a crucial step, as it opens up the concrete pores, allowing the epoxy to properly bond. Without this step, the coating could peel or fail prematurely.

Step 2: Cleaning & Priming
After grinding, we thoroughly clean the floor to remove dust and debris. Then, we apply a primer, which further enhances adhesion and prepares the surface for the base coat.

Step 3: Base Coat & Flake Application
Once the primer is dry, we apply the base epoxy coat. If the design includes decorative flakes, they are broadcasted while the epoxy is still wet to ensure even distribution and a textured finish.

Step 4: Sealing & Final Coat
After the base coat has cured, we apply a clear topcoat to seal the surface, enhancing durability and resistance to wear and tear. This final layer also gives the floor a sleek, polished look.

Communication Throughout the Process

To keep clients informed, we send text message updates throughout the job, including:

  • Arrival notifications
  • Break times
  • Expected completion time
  • Final completion and care instructions

Once the floor is finished, clients receive detailed care instructions, outlining when they can walk on, close their garage, and drive on the new surface. These instructions help ensure the longevity of their new epoxy floor.

Job Completion & Quality Assurance

Before leaving, our team conducts a thorough quality check to ensure a flawless finish. Any issues are addressed on-site, and the work area is cleaned up.

By the time we leave, our clients have a stunning, professionally installed epoxy floor that is ready for long-lasting use.

At Two Brothers Epoxy, efficiency, precision, and communication are key. Our detailed process ensures each job is completed on time, with no surprises, and with a result that speaks for itself. If you’re looking for top-tier epoxy flooring, you now know exactly what to expect from our expert team!
