Epoxy Floor Options Not Just For Garages

The applications for our Amazing Garage Floors are not limited to just garages.  Yesterday I was out on a Kansas City area job with roughly 40 year old concrete in an industrial setting.  This concrete had been pounded, beat up, and abused over the years.  The roughly 600 square foot room now needs to be converted over to a showplace.  I also forgot to mention that there is a 120 square foot section in the floor that has been jackhammered out.  This will be a challenge, but again something we can handle at SealMasters. 

Just tonight I was out looking at a basement remodel and the Olathe family would like to start with the floor and do the walls and other work as time allows.  Our Amazing Garage Floor again works great in a basement setting as well.  Only SealMasters an almost no odor polyaspartic coating that works great for a basement application, without you having to vacate your home for a few days as the fumes disapate.  All grinding is vacuum assisted, so there is virtually no dust to clean out of your home for weeks after the floor has been installed.   

If you are looking for a unique, durable, floor that looks great, and is easy to clean, contact SealMasters at 913.390.0600 or visit www.sealkc.com

SealMasters Off To A Busy Spring Start

We have had a bit of a bumpy start this spring at SealMasters.  Our office was hit by the hail storm a couple weeks ago damaging three of our trucks and two of our enclosed trailers that were outside of the warehouse.  All five have cosmetic damage along with a broken windshield and shattered vents on the enclosed trailers.

The hail storm hit just hours after spending the entire weekend installing and implementing our new computer network, which didn’t quite get completed.  We had limited computer resources for the next week and a half, which has hampered the move to our new office.  We now have the office moved and our new mailing address is:  14670 S. Harrison St., Suite 200, Olathe, KS 66061.

Additionally, our new warehouse is still not completed, but getting very close.  The winter weather stopped progress for nearly two months then, once digging began we discovered water levels were too high to complete footings, so we waited more than a month to get the floorings in.  I’m happing to announce that all concrete work was completed last week, and construction will resume this week.  If the weather isn’t too bad, we should be completed in about two weeks.

So far we have be slow in returning calls and filling appointment requests, we have tried to keep up, but there just haven’t been enough hours in the day with everything else we’ve had going on.  My goal is to get back and returning calls and e-mails that have been delayed over the past couple weeks.

Sealing Experience You Can Trust

Whether we’re talking about all the signs popping up around Kansas City about deck staining or sealing, or all the new start-ups company ads in the local home magazines for garage floors, you can always count on SealMasters.  It’s our experience that sets us apart from the rest.  I’d like to let our readers know a little more about the staff behind the scenes that keeps SealMasters ahead of the rest when it comes to sealing and protecting your wood and concrete.

While this is SealMasters 6th year of serving the Kansas City metro area for sealing, our three production management team members have over 70 years of combined experience in the construction industry.

Mark/Production Manager joined SealMasters in 2007 as our epoxy floor lead technician, and has worked on hunderds of garage and commercial floors since joining us.  He was promoted Production manager in 2010, and still oversees technical aspects of our flooring projects.  Mark has nearly 30 years of construction experience from framing homes to owner of framing company with millions of dollars in annual sales.

Kip/Field Manager, joined SealMasters in 2010 with SealMasters acquisition of his company (Engraved Concrete Designs).  After more than 6 years of working on all aspects of concrete treatments and protection, Kip wanted to become a member of a team and focus on managing and training others in the field of concrete protection and enhancement.  Kip has ran his own construction businesses, to include home building for more than 30 years.

John/President of SealMasters KC, with more than 12 years of experience in home remodeling and handyman services, prior to bringing SealRx to Kansas City and starting SealMasters.  Now in our 6th year of offering the best in protection and reduced maintenance that our clients want and deserve.

So when it comes time for you to get a project done around your home or business, we hope you think about what kind of people you want working for you.  What happens if something goes wrong on your project?  Not only the experience they currently have, but where will they be in a year or two if something goes wrong?

I was asked at a recent home show how long our warranty was on our garage floors, and was told that the company down the way, had a lifetime warranty.  I asked this nice lady, who’s lifetime, yours or theirs?

While our price may be a little higher than some other guys (not always by any means).  What is your cost?  We do many projects every year that “fix” others work.  Our customers always get their projects completed as stated, satisfaction is always guaranteed.  We have done this thousands of times.  How many times have the guys with the signs on street corners done it?

Free Concrete Sealing Giveaway Update

SealMasters attempted to give away a free driveway sealing to one of our home show registrants in Lee’s Summit.  After making it out to see the driveway, our winner and sealing consultant both agreed that the driveway was too far gone to seal, and needed replacement.  So that nice homeowner agreed to let us give it to another lucky winner.

We have selected another home owner, this one in Roeland Park, and we are awaiting contact and approval to announce them as a winner. 

Thank you to all that signed up and visited us at the Remodeling Show and the Johnson County Home and Garden Show in February.

Deck Sealing Season Begins in Overland Park

Well it’s officially that time of year.  SealMasters began our deck season today by sealing a south Overland Park deck.  We got a trailer out and got to work on a large cedar deck.  There were a few minor hiccups from our equipment sitting in the warehouse a few months, but all went relatively well considering.   We also had to make a couple trips back to the office to get a few things we forgot.

It was good to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather we’ve been having this week.  Nice to be back out and restoring this worn, tired deck, that had been stained less than two years ago.  We originally spoke with the owner of this deck in spring of 2009.  We never actually visited, since after our initial phone conversation, this homeowner decided to have his “buddy” that was needing some work do it.  This time it was decided that they’d have professionals take on the deck.

Here is a picture of some failing stain and seal:

After SealRx is applied and allowed to penetrate the wood, we will return to sand the deck, to remove furring and weathered wood.  Restoring this deck to a like new condition.

SealMasters Has New Pricing For 2011

SealMasters has a completely new pricing structure for 2011.  We have analyzed the data from our last five seasons, and thousands of customers to make our estimating process identical, no matter which of the five members of our wood and concrete protection sales team comes to your home.  Our new system will also allow us to plug in those nasty price increases that our vendors have started throwing our way as the economy has picked up.

While it will keep all of us on the same page for pricing, the most exciting option for our future clients is that there is absolutely no incentive for our salespeople to “upsell” you.  Any additional options that you choose will not benefit the salesmans pay!  I’ve never liked someone in my home trying to push something on me that I didn’t really need, so why should we do it to you.  SealMasters will take care of your needs, and let you decide if you want any additional options.

For instance, if you need to get your deck sealed we will provide you with the price to take care of that for you.  If you choose to have your deck stained, we will provide you with that price also, however there would be no additional compensation to your salesperson. 

If you decide to get an Amazing Garage Floor, by SealMasters there won’t be any additional compensation for choosing a smaller chip, like our 1/16th inch, or 1/2 inch if you prefer to go larger.  You’ll only have to pay for the additional chip and product costs, which can easily be added by our new system.
