Decorative Concrete
Concrete is a vital element in every home or commercial building. It is used to build foundations, walls, pavements, floors, outdoor features, and other masonry structures. However, it is also known for its dull and unattractive appearance. This is one of the reasons why some property owners choose other types of construction materials when installing new structures in their home or commercial property. The downside, however, is that the project becomes more expensive to complete. As a property owner, you don't want to experience the same scenario.

Your Decorative Concrete Options
At Bassett Building and Construction, we use different decorative techniques to give clients a highly customized concrete feature or amenity. Our installation team is composed of properly trained crews and licensed masons with extensive experience in decorative concrete projects. Our people know the right method to use to achieve your desired look or appeal. It is also possible to create a theme or specific design that will complement well with your home's architecture.Some of the decorative concrete methods that we may use on your floors, walls, and pavements include but are not limited to the following:
- Concrete Staining. We can restore the natural beauty of concrete walkway, patio, kitchen countertop, interior flooring, or any vertical surface that requires aesthetic improvement. We may use water-based acrylics or acid-based chemical stains, depending on the location of your concrete feature. Acid based stains are suited for outdoor applications while the water-based stains are recommended for indoor use. Since stains penetrate the concrete surface, it won't fade, chip or crack.
- Concrete Stamping. Another popular decorative concrete method is concrete stamping. Many contractors and property owners prefer this method because of its ease of application. We use stamping tools to imprint our client's chosen pattern or design on freshly poured concrete. Some of the popular stone patterns that we highly recommend include slate, cobblestone, flagstone, and bluestone. If you want the classic look of bricks, you can pick running bond, Herringbone, or basket weave patterns. We also use wood and textured mats for those who want to achieve unique but elegant concrete floors.
- Concrete Stenciling. A stencil is placed on fresh concrete to achieve your desired pattern or design. We may add color or stain to mimic the look of bricks, stones, or other types of flooring materials. It is also possible to apply this method on hardened concrete, but the process is more complicated since we will use a sandblaster or acid-etching tool.
- Concrete Overlays. The perfect solution to your worn-out concrete floor is to use concrete overlays. Decorative overlay is the most cost-effective option since you won't have to remove existing concrete floors or structure. There are different types of overlays so we only use those that will suit the requirements of the concrete surface. The color, texture, and finish will depend on your desired look for the newly rejuvenated concrete surface.
