Stories, an overview
Acryla-Deck Latex Deck Coating
Acrylic vs. Impregnating Sealer
Boulder Refresco
We devised a material that worked like paint, but was integrally colored cement-based.
Drain: Water Mitigation
Freak-out Day
All acid stains react with concrete to create colors unlike what they look like in the bottle.
Imitation Acid Stain Replaced
This front patio in Spicewood was painted to look like stain. That’s never really a good idea.
Microfinish Overlay Remodel
This series, from the multi-day project, shows the entire floor remodel process start to finish.
Patio Resurface
Removing old paint from a patio gives it a fresh yet timeless finish.
Prochip Process
Prochip is a seamless vinyl chip flooring system.
Stamped Exterior Commercial Space
Placement contractors do site work, reinforcement, and placement more efficiently than we can, but having a team of detail guys to take over the process when it is time to stamp results in a better finish. Stamping is much more durable than an overlay.
Wet Weather Woes
We had an unusually wet Spring when this deck overlay was done.
Control Joint
Deep cuts in concrete used to prevent random cracking
Dye and Seal Does not work
Ghost of Tile
Rehabbing a commercial space.
Industrial Epoxy
Solid color epoxy and poly are actually some of the least forgiving materials to install. The surface prep has to be perfect.
Outdoor Carpeting to Stained and Sealed Concrete
As a home ages, our styles or taste may also change along with the times. Outdoor carpet, green and scratchy underfoot, sorry to say has had its heyday.
Polishing Grout
This mixture of resin, catalyst, cement, sand and pigment troweled into the pores creating a better surface for polishing.
Resin Quartz Overlay
Resin is one of the most chemically resistant materials man has devised while quartz is harder than steel. Together they make an amazing floor.
Subtle “Greige”
Every slab of concrete is uniquely colored.
Whiter Whites + Brighter Brights
THIN-FINISH™️ overlay and acrylic sealer to get this bold look.
Applehead Island Turnaround
Control Joint Filling
Enhanced Concrete Placement: Integral Color
This driveway project on Applehead Island demanded a steely, intentional grey. Using Butterfield Uni-Mix® in Charcoal (U-28) at 80% of max. loading, we were able to get a much better and more controlled grey that will not fade like a paint-like stain.
Grouted Lines
Uncolored concrete is naturally brownish and greenish. To achieve a more modern, steely grey, we use integral color.
Lakefront Getaway Refresco
This is lakefront getaway flooded, and the overlay we installed four years ago took some abuse. We made it better than ever by installing ReFresco and staining it with Colina Tan Permatique.
Overlay of Old Concrete Next to New – Eliminate Garish Contrast
Poolside in Fredericksburg
Precast Seam Detail
We came up with a clever way to install a decorative tile over the seam of two precast pieces.
Reseal
There are a number of ways to seal concrete flooring. Acrylic sealer, paste wax, and diamond polishing with an impregnating sealer to name a few, each with its own unique result.

Final Polish
Hye Meadow Winery Industrial Epoxy
The winemakers at Hye Meadow Winery have tried sealers in their barrel room in the past, but over time, the wine stained and corroded the concrete. Our industrial concrete coatings are the only way to have the chemical resistance required for such a situation.
Metallic Epoxy Where and How
Metallic Epoxy is an easy to clean, visually striking, flooring option. This is especially good in small areas where you want to make a bold accent to cover a plumbing trench or a cracked foundation.

Prochip Epoxy Flake
The Texas Parks and Wildlife CCA Marine Development Center
Retrofit
Most sealed concrete floors do not age well. This apartment sales office was not different.
Trenches
When plumbing needs to go somewhere new in a remodeling project, a trench is made by cutting the floor and hammering out the concrete.
