From the moment I step through the entrance of the ground level, my eyes are immediately drawn to the floor beneath me. It's a beautiful floor, I finished it allmost 15-years ago. With care and artistry that is immediately apparent to anyone who sees it. I remember it well I was commisioned by the original owners to acid stain this very floor. It was a pleasure to work on such a beautiful home, and now, all these years later, I'm back to refinish it with a new decorative epoxy finish.
The first step is to scarify, or sand, the floor to remove the old topcoat and any other material that might prevent proper adhesion. This is a crucial step, one that requires patience and attention to detail, as it ensures that the new primer and basecoat will properly adhere to the surface of the concrete.
I take my time with this step, working methodically to ensure that every inch of the floor is properly prepared. It's important to me that the finished product is perfect, with no imperfections that could detract from the overall effect. The acid stain from years past has weathered well, adding a sense of depth to the surface. It's a testament to the quality of the products I use and the care with which they were applied. I'm proud to have been a part of creating this floor, and I'm a little sad to see it go, but I know it's time for a change.
With the floor properly prepared, it's time to move on to the next step: applying the primer and basecoat. I mix the primer and basecoat carefully, measuring out the quantities to ensure that the colors are precisely balanced. This is a delicate process, one that requires attention to detail and a steady hand. I take my time to ensure that everything is just right, that the colors are exactly as they should be, and that the surface is smooth and even.
And then it's time for the decorative epoxy finish, the piece de resistance. This is the part I love the most, the part that really lets my creativity shine. It's a delicate process, one that requires patience, some skill and creativity, I use a variety of techniques to create a dreamy, cloud-like effect, swirling the colors and creating a stunning display that is both captivating and serene. The finish adds a touch of glamour and sophistication to the space, making it feel more luxurious and elegant than ever before.
As I work, I get lost in the moment, lost in the the various colors, blend and dance in harmony. It's so rewarding to have the opportunity to create something beautiful, to bring a touch of magic to an otherwise ordinary space. I take my time with each step, making sure that everything is perfect before I move on to the next. It's a labor of love, a testament to my passion for my craft and my commitment to creating something truly exceptional.
When the work is done, the floor is transformed. the new owners lobe their new work art, a thing of beauty that will continue to inspire and captivate anyone who sees it. I think its a testament to the care and dedication that went into its creation, and it will continue to be a part of this home's legacy for many years to come. I'm honored to have been a part of its story, and I'm excited to see where it goes from here.
In the end, it's the love of craftsmanship and superior quality that drives me to do what I do. I take great pride in my work, and I'm committed to creating beautiful, high-quality surfaces that will stand the test of time. It's not just a job to me
