Testimonials
Jeff E.
Homeowner in Austin, TX
"I’ve hired a lot of contractors over the years, but none have come close to the quality and professionalism of the team trained by Mark Markovic. The results from Turbo-Seal on my floors were jaw-dropping — my wife and I literally couldn’t believe how good they looked. It’s clear the training Mark provides is on another level. You can tell when someone knows their craft, and this crew was sharp, skilled, and efficient. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for serious results."

Floor Restoration Specialist
"Getting trained by Mark Markovic was hands-down one of the smartest decisions I’ve ever made for my business. The education I received on Turbo-Seal completely elevated the way I restore floors — my clients are constantly blown away by the results and how brand-new everything looks. Mark didn’t just teach me the product, he taught me how to think like an expert. I’m making more money, closing more jobs, and finally feel confident charging what I’m worth. The training fee? Worth every penny — and then some."
