In July 2024, Christ Church of the Valley in Surprise, Arizona, faced issues with its commercial kitchen flooring. The concrete was stained with grease and oil, and there were small cracks throughout the surface. The Health Department required a sealed, non-porous flooring system to meet safety and hygiene standards. Rock Star Coating Pros was brought in to replace the existing floor with a new epoxy system featuring enhanced slip resistance.
