DRIVER’S NOTEBOOK
WITH DEEP ROOTS IN THE COMMUNITY,
GRANITE GARAGE FLOORS TREATS CUSTOMERS LIKE FAMILY ARTICLE ALAN GOFORTH PHOTOGRAPHY PAUL VERSLUIS
THERE IS A GOOD REASON WHY GREG SLICKER APPROACHES EACH GARAGE FLOOR TREATMENT AS IF IT WERE FOR HIS OWN HOME. The customers he serves often are friends, neighbors or members of his community. “We have lived near our customers in this community for more than a decade,” says Slicker, principal and co-owner of Granite Garage Floors. “This speaks volumes about the level of commitment we have to make sure every customer we work for has an exceptional experience and is serviced after the installation as well.” A simple question inspired him to leave a successful career in the construction industry and start his own business. Why can’t homeowners have access to the same high-quality floor treatments as commercial customers? “For years, coating systems installed in garages had been installed improperly with inferior, water-based product and were ineffective for homeowners as they peeled and stained almost immediately after installation,” he says. “However, epoxy coating systems in most commercial locations were simultaneously being installed properly, using higher-grade material, and have been a reliable and long-lasting option for years.”
