How a 20-Year-Old Built a $280K Epoxy Business in One Year

At just 20 years old, one of our students built a $280,000 epoxy flooring business in his first year. No prior experience. No connections in the industry. Just the right training and a willingness to hustle.

Starting From Zero

Like most people getting into epoxy flooring, he started with zero experience and zero clients. What made the difference was having a clear system to follow — from learning proper installation techniques to understanding how to price jobs, find customers, and close deals.

Within the first two weeks of training, he had his first paying job. Within 90 days, he was fully booked. By the end of his first year, he had completed over 150 jobs and generated $280,000 in revenue.

What Made It Work

The epoxy flooring industry has a massive advantage over other trades: low startup costs, high profit margins, and not enough contractors to meet demand. A typical garage floor job takes one to two days and brings in $2,000–$5,000. Commercial jobs can run $10,000 or more.

But the real key wasn't just knowing how to lay floors — it was knowing how to run the business. Pricing, marketing, customer acquisition, and operations are what separate a $30K side hustle from a $280K business.
