About this course

Most epoxy contractors lose money on bad estimates, ruin jobs with wrong cure windows, and leave thousands on the table by never asking for the next job. This course fixes all three.

Why it pays for itself:

  • Built around the Garage Floor Epoxy Operations Kit — a six-sheet workbook covering estimation, job logging, inventory, job tracking, and profit — you will learn to run a tight epoxy floor business from day one, not year three.
  • Section by section, you will set up your kit, price jobs using real material math instead of gut feel, win residential and light-commercial clients with a clear onboarding process, execute coats at the right temperature and humidity, keep your books clean, and build the recurring revenue streams that turn a one-truck operation into a scalable business.
  • Every lecture references a specific sheet in the kit.
  • When the Epoxy Estimator sheet is on screen, you know exactly which cells to change and why.
  • When the Job and Cure Log comes up, you know what to write so warranty callbacks never catch you off guard.
  • When the Income and Expenses tab shows a red net profit, you know the three levers to pull.
  • This is operator-to-operator instruction.
  • No motivational content, no generic business theory.
  • Just the decisions, formulas, and field habits that separate contractors who are busy but broke from those who are busy and profitable.
  • By the end you will have a configured operations kit, a working price model, a client onboarding checklist, a curing protocol, a monthly P&L habit, and a plan for maintenance contracts and crew growth.
  • If you already do epoxy work, you can implement lecture one before your next job.
  • If you are just starting, you will skip two years of expensive trial and error.
