Frequently Asked Questions:
Why should you choose concrete?
Concrete offers a range of possibilities that are unmatched with any other material. In meeting your design requirements and exploring new colors, shapes and finishes, concrete is the most flexible and versatile material available. You can design with concrete; any other material requires you to design around it. Concrete has a warmth and beauty that is distinctive among other surfaces that are machine made and finished. Concrete is the hand-made alternative to others surfaces, this ensures that each piece is one of a kind and has a character and personality uniquely suited to your project.
Do you take custom orders?
Yes. The majority of our work can be considered custom. We create counters, fireplaces, showers, sinks, furniture, objects, walls, structures, etc. We work alongside the customer to fit the specifics of each project.
Do I need to reinforce my cabinets?
No. Concrete weighs about the same as other solid stone surfaces.
Does concrete stain?
Yes. However, we use the most current high performance sealers available to ensure a minimum of maintenance issues. We’ve been making concrete counter-tops for 18 years. Our counter-tops typically need very little maintenance that would include refinishing. Refinishing is a fairly simple procedure that can be done in a few hours in most cases. Concrete is porous and reactive. While your counter-tops are sealed to be as stain resistant as possible, prolonged exposure to harmful liquid such as fresh citrus, tomatoes, vinegars and heavy oils may stain your counter. That being said, concrete takes on the character of how it is used and will develop a patina of age that is part of the charm and beauty of the material.
Is it a lot cheaper than granite?
No. While our work is as competitively priced as possible it is not a low cost alternative to other materials such as granite or engineered stone surfaces. The cost for any surface you choose for your counter-top is mostly in labor and concrete counter-tops require at a minimum three more steps in the process to produce. Our counter-tops typically run $95 to $120 a square foot depending on color, finish and location of the project.
