Decorative Concrete Academy

Company Overview

At Decorative Concrete Academy, we specialize in revitalizing your unsightly, discolored concrete surfaces like driveways, garage floors, pool decks, and patios. We will rejuvenate your existing concrete surface. We will install a gorgeous, personalized stone design directly onto your current concrete surface.

There will be no costly, messy removal of the old concrete. Your new surface will be securely bonded to the old concrete through mechanical and chemical means. Indeed, it requires special cleaning and preparation, but this technique has been effectively used for years to restore structural concrete like cracked load-bearing bridges and walls.

This new layer will be just 1/4 to 3/8 inch in thickness. You can select from a variety of custom stone styles. Options include brick, block, random stone, and more.

Select from a vast array of color combinations for your surface. You can coordinate or contrast the color with your home, roof, or walls.

The simulated stone surface will feature texture and slip resistance. It is resistant to stains and can be easily cleaned with soap and water. It feels pleasant on bare feet and stays cool.

This surface is three times stronger than standard concrete found in driveways, garage floors, pool decks, patios, or sidewalks.

In Boca Raton, you’ll find countless surfaces that have been in place for over thirty years and remain robust. Every installation is backed by a strong lifetime guarantee when maintained properly.

I began my full-time journey in the Decorative Concrete Overlay industry in 1989. A close college friend’s father patented one of the most unique and beautiful decorative concrete overlays at that time. This innovative product was named ""URO-TILE"".

In 1979, this process was truly ahead of its time. He spent a considerable amount on independent lab strength tests, demonstrating that his method outperformed others in the market.

After five or six years of learning and working with my friend, I chose to start my own business. I continued to educate myself. For anyone interested in becoming an expert, there are plenty of resources and classes available.

The Portland Cement Association, along with many top manufacturers, provides outstanding educational opportunities. Many retailers conduct weekend seminars to stay current with industry trends.

I think the reason customers with 13-year-old overlays are usually pleased to see me is due to the quality of our installations. I pursued building construction in college, learned decorative concrete from leading professionals, and I keep studying to improve my expertise.
