Maverick in Washington

If you have ever been to Washington State you know it is beautiful.  People might complain about the weather sometimes, but Washingtonians from the west coast usually love where they live.  They have the rugged beauty of dense greenery surrounding them and the exquisite Pacific, including Peugeot Sound and its glory out front as a welcoming mat.  What could make this spectacular area any better?  Creating a home or office that enhances the beauty that surrounds you.

Enter Maverick Specialty Contracting.  This unique company has found some creative and stunning ways to use decorative concrete to reflect your personality, your desires for your home or office and create and artistic ambiance that you – and your guests “will want to talk about.” 

Whether using various decorative concrete ideas as the foundation or focal point of your design or using them in an artistic way to enhance your home or office and “bring it all together” Maverick Specialty Contracting will work with you to create the results you want.  They work closely with you, discussing your ideas and advising you from long before the actual work is started in an effort to ensure that the finished project will be just what you imagined.

Some of the ways that Maverick Specialty Contracting uses concrete to create or enhance a project is staining – which creates color, covers old impurities and stains and adds durability and easy cleaning.  They also use wall finishes which bring out beauty of natural stone at a fraction of the cost and bring out the look and feel of the artisans of old.  The company also specializes in vertical stains and other processes, all explained on their website, complete with photos.

David Cates, owner of Maverick Specialty Contracting, has been in the decorative concrete field for over sixteen years, and has become an expert in his field, even working on Seahawks Stadium, some photos of which can be seen on the Maverick Specialty Contracting website.

The Color Makes The Concrete

Colormaker is a company that has made its mark in the decorative concrete industry.  The company is one of our suppliers here at Concrete Ideas, and we are proud to be associated with them.

Colormaker uses a wide variety of concrete primers, toppings, sealers, finishes, and, of course, as their name denotes, an array of colors.  They have worked on many unique and artistic projects creating flooring that works as a foundation, a focal point or an enhancement to either new or existing floors.

There are many ways that they use their products and techniques to make floors a work of art.  There are many ways that concrete is used as flooring, and many ways that existing – even older, faded or stained – concrete can be made to look totally new and different by using the techniques that Colormaker is expert at.

For instance, colors and finishes can be used on plain, old, gray concrete to transform a floor – and the room it is the foundation of – into a unique, new, creative and artistic base for a room, be it a basement in a home, a lobby in a hotel or a boutique.

Colormaker is constantly searching and testing new ways to treat and create concrete.  One of the company’s feature products is called Pentimento, which is a topping based on Italian methods, but using the most modern ingredients which creates the look of polished marble.

In addition to the products and techniques that Colormaker uses, the company also offers workshops to help people explore the possibilities for working with concrete.  If you live in the British Columbia area and are looking for great ideas and great work involving concrete, contact Colormaker.  Their ideas will open up innovative ideas to build into whatever area you are trying to transform.
