Best of House & Home in: DECORATIVE/STAMPED CONCRETE

How many years have you been in business or in this industry?
It's been 32 years! We've grown from a small three-man outfit into the largest and most accomplished decorative concrete company in the region, serving both residential and commercial markets. What started with a few tools and a truck has evolved into a full-service operation trusted by homeowners, builders and architects across Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

What makes you the best in your industry while separating yourself from your competitors?
Our expertise. When you're in the business of turning concrete into something beautiful, it's an art—and art takes experience. Every one of our crews is led by foremen with decades in the field. Also, unlike many others, we don't bring manufactured products to market; we manufacture our product on-site. There's only one chance to get it perfect, and that commitment to precision is what makes all the difference in decorative concrete.

What do you find most rewarding about this industry?
Seeing transformation happen right before your eyes. Our work brings vision to life—creating spaces with depth, character and durability that last for decades. Homeowners already have enough to worry about; we provide them with lasting design and performance so they can simply enjoy their space without constant upkeep. At the end of a long day moving tons of material, there's nothing more rewarding than looking at the finished product and saying, "Yeah, we built that." That pride never gets old.

Are there any new products or services you are offering that you'd like our readers to know about?
We've made major investments in modernizing our options to meet today's design trends. From contemporary stamp patterns and refined color palettes to high-performance sealers, our goal is to keep every installation looking its best for decades.

We're also expanding our maintenance program, reminding customers that stamped concrete should be sealed every three to five years to preserve its beauty and protect their investment. We now offer scheduled sealing services and reminders for a truly low-maintenance ownership experience.

For the contractors reading this—we're always looking for new partners. We bring unmatched production capabilities, all handled in-house, which allows us to handle high-volume and high-detail work alike. Our partners include some of the most respected pool builders, landscapers, custom home builders and commercial contractors in the area—each supported by a dedicated ACD representative to ensure seamless communication and execution.
