With So Much Competition -

Why Choose ArtistiCrete?

     Due to the recent explosion in the popularity of decorative concrete, there is now more competition than ever before.  New contractors are getting into the industry everyday, usually after attending a one or two day how-to seminar.  The sheer number of companies offering decorative concrete should prompt one to ask the question, “How do I choose one contractor over another?”

      Of course, there are several factors to consider including pricing, but the #1 criterion should always be experience.  Anyone can underbid another’s price in order to secure a job, but what is the customer really getting for less money?  Often the answer is inferior craftsmanship and sometimes a substandard or outright disastrous outcome.  The learning curve for producing quality decorative concrete is long and, quite frankly, a contractor who has only recently gotten into the market cannot hope to do the same quality work as a highly experienced one.  The majority of companies getting into decorative concrete are out of business again in a relatively short time. 

     Likewise, the fact that a particular company has been around for awhile does not mean that their installation personnel are experienced.  They may have only recently been hired and have little or no hands-on knowledge.  The most qualified man on the crew may have less than a year of stamping experience! 

     That is precisely what sets ArtistiCrete apart from our competition.  Since the company’s inception in the early 90’s, every single job has been personally installed by Steve VandeWater and Elbert Vandevender, the company’s owners.  Other personnel are hired as needed, but all jobs are prepped, poured, and finished by these two men.  In addition, jobs are also estimated and bid by Steve, so there is no miscommunication between office and field personnel.  This unique combination of experience, attention to detail, and personal accountability truly make ArtistiCrete a cut above the rest. 

    So if you ask yourself, “Why ArtistiCrete?”, you should really be asking “Am I confident enough to trust my project to anyone else?”
