Concrete Designs

Up until a few years ago it was almost an impossible task finding local decorative concrete product suppliers and decorative concrete contractors

. The yellow pages wasn’t sure where to list them either in Concrete or Flooring or Contractors, and there really wasn’t a section for decorative concrete products at all. Only recently with the added popularity do we see a section starting to be developed in the “specialty concrete” section of some directories.

In an attempt to help our Web savy searchers we have introduced what is sure to become one of the best online resources for finding what you need for the decorative concrete industry.

We would like to introduce the Products and Suppliers section which added to the find a contractor section is sure to become one of the best resources online when interested in finding businesses that service this industry.

The product suppliers section is more than just a listing service for concrete; it provides companies and service providers a place where they can introduce their services, training, business opportunities and local distribution chains. They can update their information easily and regularly to keep you informed about their upcoming events and new products.

This same service is available to all concrete contractors listed on www.concreteideas.com and is finally a way to get the word out about all of those servicing the Decorative Concrete Industry.

If you want to see some of the top areas listed and the associated profiles here they are:

Two sisters out of Arlington, Texas that grew up in a creative household with an emphasis on art have found a unique way to use their artistic abilities.

Their company “Sublime Surface Designs”.

Instead of using brushes and canvas or photography they decided to look into acid stained floors. They were looking for a way to spruce up one of their houses, especially making the floors look funky, fresh and creative. They did some research and decided to try making over the concrete floors to look like expensive tile. The first floor was done painstakingly by hand and took a tremendous amount of hard work. As the project continued to other parts of the house including the children’s room, the sisters discovered pre made acid stain and things got easier and moved faster.

At the time, one of the sisters was working as a bookkeeper and was not feeling artistically fulfilled. By the time she finished her floors and some other decorating in her house – which took an entire year – she decided to take a leap of faith and combine her artistic and creative abilities along with her sister and her abilities to begin doing work with decorative concrete full time as a business.

At the time, there wasn’t much information about decorative concrete in Arlington, and there were few individuals or companies who did decorative concrete work. The sisters have been doing such god work that word of mouth brings continuous and repeat work. The word about them has spread and the word about decorative concrete floors, countertops, textured walls, and more has spread with them.

One of the pieces of information that has spread about them is the fact that they have gone into some houses and had the carpet ripped out, then refinished the concrete underneath with acid stain and other types of decorative concrete finishes. They have heard from clients that they are sleeping better and have less allergies because, apparently, the old carpeting which is no longer in the house was the source of dust and other allergens. This is also bringing them business.

The sisters have said that this is a fun way to make a living. Also, if you want to do some remodeling with decorative concrete in your home or office, you can learn about it, buy the supplies and go for it. You just might find the artist in you.
