Tips and Techniques | December 14th, 2015

Project Of The Week

Rick Johnson and the crew from Concrete Makeover recently did this awesome interior concrete wood project!

 

 

 

 


 Graniflex Design System

In our latest training class last week, we demonstrated installing the beautiful & durable Graniflex system with a decorative twist . . . diagonal tile, 2 different color blends w/ brick border and then a color quartz broadcast done with a basketweave brick pattern:

Basketweave Graniflex - Quartz

Brick Border Graniflex

Diagonal Tile Graniflex

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Most Innovative Product award winner at the 2015 World of Concrete, our Graniflex system has these benefits:

  • Fast installs!  After preparation, ONE DAY from base coat to top seal coat.
  • Interior & Exterior Applications! The dream of every decorative resurfacing contractor…the ability to quickly complete broadcast projects OUTSIDE.
  • NO hours-upon-hours on your hands & knees troweling!
  • Just the opposite of epoxy.
  • NEVER gets brittle with age (Permanent Flexibility)
  • Fast 1 hour set times
  • Stress-free applications. Long, long…(did I say long?) pot life!
  • No hurry to get mixed product out of the bucket!
  • No worry about color / texture outcome. Give customers exactly what they bought.
  • Sleep well at night knowing that your coating has cured as tough as truck tires inside of the original concrete slab!

Andy's Signature - no phone GraniFlex

Winter usually means a slow-down in work for decorative concrete contractors (at least here in the Mid-West) but if you’ve marketed yourself well in your area, you’ll end up landing some decent-sized commercial or industrial projects.  I know my last couple of years running the install business, I was pulling in more $$ in the Winter than in the Summer as a result of a few great paying industrial projects.


If things are slow for you, spend some time on the social network on Decorative Concrete Kingdom and start bringing potential local customers to you by following my proven Search Engine Blanketing techniques!

Great Benefits for Premium & Free Members

Considering that most of your potential customers are searching online for the services that you provide, marketing your business with a site that is proven to pull in leads is the smart thing to do :)
