The Ranch · Loma, CO
Real installations. Real conditions.
01 · Why The Ranch
Most epoxy training is YouTube and sample boards. This isn't that.
There's a reason installers fly in from across the country (and 33 countries). When you can prep a real slab, deal with a real moisture problem, and pour a real countertop alongside someone who has done it 1,000+ times, you leave with skills nobody learned watching tutorials.
01
Real installations, not samples
You'll work on active jobs, in real conditions, with real timelines. This is what makes graduates confident on Day 1 of their first paying install.
02
Full Diamond Coat system training
Countertops, floors, walls, tubs, and outdoor coatings. Not just techniques in isolation, the complete workflow from surface evaluation through topcoat.
03
Business training included
Pricing, estimating, proposals, upsells, warranty language, scheduling, and client communication. The operations work that makes installs profitable, not just beautiful.
04
Taught by working installers
Not influencers. Not "facilitators." The people teaching you are the ones who run the jobs. You're learning what actually works in the field.
05
Ongoing tech support
After your workshop, you have direct access to our team for product selection, troubleshooting, and job-specific questions. Not a forum. Real installers.
06
Lifetime product discount
Workshop graduates get a permanent 15% discount on all Diamond Coat products. If you do this work professionally, that's real money.
02 · Choose Your Track
Two workshops, one ladder.
Most students start with the Epoxy Masterclass and return for the Profit & Systems Masterclass once they're running real volume. They're designed to work together, but you can take either one as a standalone.

04 · The Track Record
147 five-star reviews. 33 countries. One reason: it works.
Students fly in from across the country and around the world. Here's what they say.
"I wish I had a second week to learn more."
Came for the master class. It has been such an amazing class and great experience! I wish I had a second week to learn more in this trip. We will be back for more specific training. Levi and Michael are very helpful, informative and encouraging. I would suggest if you have any interest whatsoever in epoxy you take this class and use their products.
"Well worth the trip, best epoxy I've ever worked with."
This is the best epoxy that I have ever worked with. Great working time and super durable. If you ever have the chance to take a workshop it's well worth it. Levi is super helpful and a really good dude. Well worth the trip!
"Highly recommend for any level of experience."
Great class!! My first time attending the course and I just loved everything about it. I highly recommend for any level of experience. Levi is great and really knows the quality of his products.

06 · FAQ
Common questions before signing up.
Which workshop should I take first?+
If you've never poured epoxy professionally, start with the Epoxy Masterclass. It's the foundational skill set: how to actually install all five Diamond Coat systems on real jobs. If you've been installing for 2+ years and you're stuck on the business side (bidding, paperwork, pricing, growth), go straight to the Profit & Systems Masterclass. If you're not sure, call us at 970-639-9338, we'll tell you which fits.
Where exactly is The Ranch?+
Our workshops happen at our dedicated training facility on a country property in Loma, Colorado, near Grand Junction. The closest airport is Grand Junction Regional (GJT) Or Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ), about an hour away. We'll send hotel recommendations and directions after you sign up.
Do you offer payment plans?+
Yes. We offer Affirm on both workshops, and we can arrange a custom 2-pay or 3-pay plan directly. Call 970-639-9338. We've never turned away a committed installer because of cash flow timing.
What's included in tuition?+
All training materials, hands-on time on real installations, lunches every class day, your certificate, lifetime 15% product discount, ongoing tech support, and access to our installer network. Travel and lodging are separate. The Profit & Systems Masterclass also includes the bid template pack, paperwork pack, and 12 months in the Diamond Circle community.
Can I take both workshops?+
Yes, and most serious contractors do. The Epoxy Masterclass teaches you how to install. The Profit & Systems Masterclass teaches you how to run a business doing it. They're designed as a ladder, not as alternatives.
What's the dealer/distributor path?+
Workshop graduates are eligible to apply as a Diamond Coat dealer or distributor. Approved partners get bulk pricing, territory considerations, and a feature on our website that drives leads. It's not automatic, you apply after graduating, but the door opens for serious operators.
