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 apply a new surface over your existing concrete. We will install a gorgeous, personalized stone design directly onto your current concrete surface.

Forget about the hassle and expense of tearing out your 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.

The new surface will only measure between 1/4 and 3/8 inch thick. Pick from a wide array of custom stone designs. You can choose from styles like brick, block, random stone, and others.

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 more durable than the regular concrete you find in driveways, garage floors, pool decks, patios, or sidewalks.

Many surfaces in Boca Raton have been thriving for over thirty years. With proper maintenance, every installation comes with a solid lifetime guarantee.

I entered the Decorative Concrete Overlay industry full-time back in 1989. A very good friend from college had a father who created one of the most distinctive and beautiful decorative concrete overlays available at that time. He named it ""URO-TILE"".

This was back in 1979, and the method was revolutionary. 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. There are numerous resources and classes for those who wish to learn and excel.

The Portland Cement Association, along with many top manufacturers, provides outstanding educational opportunities. Numerous retailers host weekend seminars to keep up with industry advancements.

I believe the reason I often receive a warm welcome from customers with 13-year-old overlays is that they appreciate the quality of the work. Having studied building construction in college, I learned decorative concrete from top experts and continue to enhance my skills.
