At Philadelphia Garage, we have remodeled tens of thousands of square feet of commercial locations, in addition to all of the residential garages in our portfolio. While we are used to the typical requests of a solid colored floor, this specific request from a small, family-run retail business in the heart of Philadelphia was a bit of a surprise!
When the owner of the business reached out to Philadelphia Garage, he explained when making the appointment that he had a vision and a goal, and that he had heard we were the best and knew that we would be able to help him. With the understanding that he already knew exactly what he was looking for, we scheduled the next available date and sent our commercial flooring expert out to see him. The request… well, let’s just say it was a first.
Before: the floors were in good shape, but were plain and didn’t express the shop’s personality.
The client explained what he did for a living and what the shop would be used for. After giving us a quick tour, he explained his request. He wanted a “cool rainbow metallic epoxy floor.” When we say we have the best, most highly trained individuals in the business, we mean that. However, our commercial flooring expert had to admit this was a first for him, even with all his training and square footage under his belt — but he knew exactly what to do. We were going to provide this client a floor coating for his commercial retail space that was 100% custom and oh-so unique.
First, our lead expert and the client came up with a game plan: what colors he wanted, what his vision was for the floor, and the lighting of the location, which came up as a factor since the shop ran solely off of black light.
Before: the plain floors were just waiting to be spiced up.
Next up was the design. Our commercial flooring expert and the client came up with a stunning design to match the idea of a rainbow metallic epoxy floor coating. After 10,000+ installations, this was a first, and our team loves being presented with new ideas to have a chance to be creative.
Now that they had a plan and the materials were on order, it was time to make sure each crew member understood what the project would entail, what the expectations were, and the tight timeframe the client was on. With the foreman and his crew just as excited as the client to start this metallic floor, the installation was scheduled.
Once it was time for the installation to begin, our foreman made sure to take his time and apply each color as the client described, ensuring that the finished product would match the vision that the client had for the business: something that would make him stand out in a crowd and something that would draw the eye of potential customer walking past the windows.
After: an eye-catching design to match the personality of this retail shop!
When the floor was complete, the client couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out. This was an installation to remember – something so different from your typical single color epoxy floor coating! The rainbow metallic floor coating will not only make this client’s business shine, but also sets Philadelphia Garage apart from the rest.
After: floors that are sure to catch the eyes of potential customers.
