The presenter, Mitch, made approximately $15,000 in 4 days from three jobs.

Background:

• Mitch took the opportunity to demonstrate the profitability of such jobs.

Project Details:

• The three projects in a week was a challenge, especially with a crew that consisted of a new trainee and a camera guy.

Costing and Tools:

• The average cost of installing epoxy flake floors in the Sacramento area ranges from $10 per sq. ft.
• The epoxy materials cost between $1.50 to $2 per sq. ft.
• Break down the project for customers into phases to explain costs:
  1. Concrete patching and grinding.
  2. Coating application.
• A detailed invoice of a 48ft x 29ft floor was provided as an example, with total customer cost being $884.
• Total expenses were $354, with a profit of $5,338 for the job.

Tips for Success:
