Why Choose OCD Concrete Coatings in El Cajon

The seed that started it all was planted back in 2000 while working for a pool remodeling company in San Diego with a friend. We began by cleaning pools and installing joint seal, but soon found ourselves immersed in the world of concrete coatings without any formal training. Through experimentation and trial and error, we developed our own style and systems, including our specialized concrete overlay techniques.

I was hooked and eager to learn more.

In 2004, I left that company to join a more established firm to expand my knowledge of coatings, particularly epoxy coatings in San Diego. It was here that I learned new techniques and added these advanced coatings to my repertoire. I remained with this company for nearly 12 years until an injury prevented me from installing. Heartbroken yet determined, I sought to learn more and moved to KTM Coating Technologies, a company that specializes in commercial and industrial protective coatings. This opportunity opened my eyes to a variety of new materials and manufacturers. In just a few years at KTM, I gained more knowledge about protective coatings than I had in over a decade with previous companies. I built strong relationships with manufacturer representatives and continuously discover the best products for my customers.

After nearly 3 years, my injuries healed, and I'm back to installing coatings better than ever. With over 2 decades in the coatings industry, I've learned more from mistakes than from successes. Each failure teaches me how to dissect the problem, devise a solution, and avoid repeating it in the future. This commitment to quality is what sets OCD Concrete Coatings apart from other companies.

I would like to express my gratitude to Don from Next Level Concrete Coatings in Escondido for his invaluable support in starting my own company; to Dean from EZ Stain for the connections, assistance, and laughs; and last but certainly not least, to Manuel at KTM Coating Technologies for all the knowledge, introductions to new materials and manufacturers, and unwavering support that has brought me to where I am today. Without their help, I wouldn't be able to offer the best products and installations, including top-notch epoxy coatings and concrete overlays, for my customers.
