Outstanding Concrete Finishes

Our dedicated team of concrete specialists can complete any task quickly and efficiently. We are attentive to detail and use special tools when working on certain concrete installation projects. Whether it is a small residential home or a large business complex, we continuously deliver the highest-quality service and installation to our clients.

We understand that the beauty of your concrete amenity or feature largely depends on the finishing methods used. Here are some of the different finishing methods or techniques we use when working on custom concrete projects:

Acid Wash/Top Cast. Acid wash uses muriatic acid to create beautiful Sanded finishes to the finish product by removing the "cream" that rises to the surface after applying the final trowel finish.
Top Cast is a commercial product with a numbering system. The higher the number the more of the "creme" will be removed from the surface, exposing more of the sand granules used in the concrete mix.
Broom finish. The concrete surface is brushed to create a durable, slip-resistant and high-traction surface. An ordinary broom or a specialized tool is used for this finishing method.
Concrete stamping. It is a concrete finishing technique that will try to mimic the look of other materials, such as stone, brick, flagstones, tiles, slate, wood, and other patterns.
Exposed aggregate. The exposed finish is achieved by stripping away the concrete's top layer, which exposes the edges of the stone aggregates that are blended in the concrete. The exposed aggregate creates a smooth and slip-resistant finish.
Sandblast finish. A finishing method that exposes the amount of existing aggregate in the concrete by blasting the cement skin with proper blasting equipment.
