Diamond Coat coatings workshop at The Ranch in Loma, Colorado
The Ranch  ·  Loma, CO Real surfaces. Real conditions.
01  ·  Why the full lineup

Nobody calls you about a coating. They call you about a room they're tired of looking at.

And once you're standing in it, the conversation almost never stops at one surface. The floor turns into the counters, the counters turn into the shower, the shower turns into the patio. The installers making real money are the ones who can answer all of it without sending the client somewhere else. That means knowing the whole lineup, not one product.

Epoxy flake floors Garages, basements, shops. Volume work, heavy competition.
$4 to $6 / sq ft
Marble floors and pours Countertops, bar tops, feature floors. Higher skill, higher rate.
$7 to $14 / sq ft
Microcement and plaster Walls, showers, wet rooms, stairs, verticals, exterior tops.
$30 to $50 / sq ft

Hands on from day one You're in the material, not watching a screen.
01

More of the house is billable

Epoxy owns floors and hard-wearing tops. Microcement and plaster open walls, showers, stairs, curved work, and exterior counters. Same crew, same trip, more square footage on the invoice.

02

The prep skills carry across

Substrate evaluation, moisture testing, grinding, and priming are shared ground under everything we sell. Learn it once and it applies to every system in the lineup. We teach that overlap deliberately.

03

You stop losing the whole job

When a client wants a seamless shower and you only pour floors, someone else takes the bathroom and usually the kitchen with it. Carrying the full lineup means you keep the scope.

04

Sample boards you take home

You'll build finished boards across the four days and leave with them. They're your technique reference and the single best selling tool you can set on a client's counter.

05

Taught by working installers

Not influencers, not facilitators. The people teaching you run the jobs. You learn what holds up on a real slab in real conditions, including the failures worth avoiding.

06

Lifetime 15% product discount

Graduates get a permanent 15% discount across the entire Diamond Coat catalog. If you do this professionally, that's real money on every order you place.

02  ·  The four days

Organized by the job, not by the product.

Each day is built around a stage of the work or a set of surfaces, and you learn every coating that applies to it back to back. That's how you build the judgment to walk into a room and know what belongs on each surface before you ever write a number down.

Day 1  ·  Reading the surface and getting it right underneath

Everything you install succeeds or fails on what's under it. You'll evaluate real substrates, run moisture tests, grind and profile, prime, and put down your first coats so the way each material behaves is in your hands by the end of the first day.

Reading the surface

  • Evaluating tile, concrete, wood, laminate, drywall, and stone
  • Moisture testing and mitigation strategy
  • Settling, fractures, spalling, and unstable concrete
  • Grinding, profiling, and dust control
  • Expansion joints and where movement will show up
  • When to build new versus coat what's there

Priming and first coats

  • Resin chemistry, ratios, pot life, and temperature control
  • Lime and marble chemistry, and why it behaves differently
  • Seal coats, sand primers, and bond strength
  • Mesh embedding and crack bridging
  • Mixing discipline and consistency you can repeat
  • First base coat: loading the trowel and pass direction
You leave day one able to walk a job, identify the substrate, test it, and specify which system belongs on it.

Day 2  ·  Countertops, bar tops, and the surfaces clients stare at

The highest visibility work you'll ever sell, and where the detail separates a $1,200 counter from a $4,000 one. You'll pour and you'll trowel, including edges, undermounts, and the finish work most installers skip.

Poured finishes

  • Building new tops versus coating existing
  • Marble and metallic pours with liquid pigment
  • Color layering, cell work, and torch technique
  • Flood coats, self leveling, and bubble control
  • Verticals, edges, drains, and undermount sinks
  • Repairing damaged coatings, de-glossing, and polishing

Troweled finishes

  • Trowel timing and temperature on horizontal work
  • Edges, waterfalls, and undermount detailing
  • Burnishing to a polished stone surface
  • Food-safe sealer selection and application
  • Exterior concrete countertops for outdoor kitchens
  • Re-coating and repairing existing installs
You leave day two with finished countertop samples in multiple materials and a clear answer for the client who asks why one costs more.

Day 3  ·  Floors, walls, showers, and everything outside

The biggest square footage and the highest risk on any job. Floors are where you earn volume, wet areas and verticals are where you earn your rate. You'll run both, including full waterproofing detail on a shower.

Floors and outdoor

  • Flake and mica floor systems start to finish
  • Measuring, planning, and staging a floor job
  • Self leveling, flatness control, large format pours
  • Transitions, cove base, and edge detail
  • Supertraxx outdoor coatings, polyaspartics, and urethanes
  • Bonding to asphalt, traction options, custom borders

Walls and wet areas

  • Non-Sag wall systems over tile, drywall, and concrete
  • Vertical trowel control and burnishing walls
  • Waterproof membrane and full shower detailing
  • Slopes, drains, curbs, niches, and benches
  • Seamless floor to wall transitions with no grout line
  • Tub and sink coating, zero VOC applications
You leave day three able to quote a full bathroom, a full basement, and the patio behind it without guessing at any of them.

Day 4  ·  Premium finishes and running the business

The decorative work that commands premium pricing, then the operations side that makes it profitable. Bidding, proposals, warranty language, and how to present a range of options to a client without talking them into paralysis.

Premium finishes

  • Marbling, veining, and pigment work
  • Venetian style wall plaster technique
  • Trowelable metallic finishes, fully polishable
  • Stairs, treads, nosings, curves, and radius work
  • Complex geometry, corners, and edge crispness
  • Final sealers, sheen levels, and maintenance guidance

Business and marketing

  • Bidding and job costing across the full catalog
  • Pricing premium finishes without apologizing for it
  • Proposals, sample boards, and closing in the kitchen
  • Warranty language and scope protection
  • Lead generation, home shows, and local marketing
  • Scheduling, sequencing, and crew logistics
You leave day four with your certificate, your sample boards, a pricing framework, and a phone number that answers when a job goes sideways.

"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.

"Well worth the trip, best 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!

06  ·  FAQ

Common questions before signing up.

No. The class assumes zero experience and builds from substrate prep up. Trade or finishing experience helps, but plenty of graduates arrive brand new and leave able to quote and complete real jobs. If you already pour, you'll move faster through day one and get more out of the troweled work.
It is, because the systems share more than people expect. Substrate evaluation, moisture testing, prep, priming, bidding, and job costing are taught once and apply to all of them. That shared foundation is exactly why we teach the lineup together instead of running separate weeks for each product.
Our workshops happen at our dedicated training facility on a working country property in Loma, Colorado, near Grand Junction. The closest airports are Grand Junction Regional (GJT) or Montrose Regional (MTJ), about an hour away. We'll send hotel recommendations and directions after you sign up.
All training materials, hands-on time on real surfaces, lunches every class day, the sample boards you build, your certificate, the lifetime 15% product discount, ongoing tech support, and access to our installer network. Travel and lodging are separate.
Yes. We offer Affirm, 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.
Not in this format. Because the material is organized by the stage of the job rather than by product, the four days are sold as one program. That's deliberate. The students who get the most out of this are the ones who leave able to bid a whole house, not one surface. Call us at 970-639-9338 if your situation is unusual and we'll talk it through.
Call us at 970-639-9338 before you book. Returning graduates are welcome and we'll work out credit toward this program based on what you've already completed and when.
