Epoxy Garage Specialist quoted a total price to me of $1399.00. On the day they were to complete the project Mike called and reminded me to leave a $1399.00 check for them. Upon completion they gave me a invoice for $1473.50. They had added $74.50 in tax for materials. I asked for a bill of materials but they could not provide one. I spoke with Mike and he said it was a mistake and the additional check I gave for $74.50 would not be cashed and would be destroyed. They cashed the $74.50 anyway, clearing on 21-Feb-10. Later Mike said he would refund the $74.50 but that never arrived. During our initial call Mike had explained to me the difference from their service and the Rustoleum (Home Depot) version of Garage Floor Epoxy. Mike explained he would be using close to $400.00 of materials. The tax amount of $74.50 would be for about $851.00 of materials that they cannot produce a bill of materials for. Epoxy Garage Specialist (Epoxy Garage Guy, INC.) are not honest and conduct unethical, if not illegal, tax practices.

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company
Not a rip off
AUTHOR: Epoxy Specialists - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Friday, March 05, 2010
We quoted $1,399 for this floor, we always include tax on material only and always mention this when providing a quote, although in this case the gentlemen said we never mentioned it, so I decided to waive the $74.50. Unfortunately my crew receiving the check deposited it in the business account with out my knowledge. I was informed by this customer late last week that the check was deposited, I informed him that we would get a refund for the $74.50 out to him. This went out in the mail late Tuesday this week. This guy keeps calling about the $74.50, if I had known it was critical that he gets the $74.50 immediately, I would have fedex'd it. Now, he did ask for a bill of materials, but since I was waiving the tax, I felt it unnecessary to provide it, although in hindsight, I should have presented that to him and kept the tax. I never said the cost of the material is $400, I said that's what it would probablly cost if he did it himself using the Home Depot version - rustoleum. In fact, this customers 2-car garage had extra large stem walls that are at least double the size of a standard garage, costing us an additional $120 in material.Here's a break down of the cost: naps, brushes, rollers, pans, tape = $75, concrete primer = $75, 100% Solid Epoxy Coating (3) kits = $360, normally only use 2 kits but had to use more due to the huge stemwalls, $350 for (2) kits of Polurea top coat = $860 total cost for material. Not a rip off, in fact my competition charges several hundred more to do this job, the floor is perfect, in fact his painter that was there when we finished was blown away with our job. Relax, your $74.50 should be in the mail today or tomorrow, can you please stop leaving me messages - geez. Thanks, Mike, btw we've done over 800 jobs in SD since 2002, first report on ripoffreport.com.
