Decorative Concrete Services from Chad Ford

Aug. 20, 2013 - PRLog -- Concrete is one of the most commonly used building materials because it serves many purposes.  We use concrete for surfaces such as driveways, walkways, and patios as well as for structures like retaining walls, decks, and buildings among many others.  While concrete is a very practical building material, it does not always have to have a plain or drab appearance.  Chad Ford’s Snow Removal and Concrete (http://chadfordsr-c.com/) in Aurora provides residential and commercial concrete services for a number of applications and offers decorative polished and stamped finishes.  Their decorative finishes can turn a typical gray concrete surface into a beautiful pattern of mosaics or natural stone.

Chad Ford Concrete handles every aspect of concrete installation (http://chadfordsr-c.com/concrete/) projects from the design and planning stage to the excavation and installation.  Once the concrete is installed, they apply one of several concrete stains that include standard brush and trowel finishes as well as their decorative exposed aggregate, swirl, and stamped finishes.  They create the exposed aggregate finish by removing the top layer of concrete to expose the natural stones used in the mix.  The look of this finish is largely determined by the type of stone used with many options available.  The swirl finish is another unique decorative concrete option.  This finish is produced by smearing the surface to create a uniform circular or swirl pattern.

The last decorative finish offered by Chad Ford is the stamped finish.  Stamped concrete finishes are created with an embossed, textured pattern made to resemble natural stone, brick, slate, tile, or wood.  The pattern and color combinations of stamped concrete can create authentic looking textures at a much lower cost than using the actual natural materials.  Some of the stone, brick, and tile patterns available from Chad Ford include ashlar slate, brick soldier course, canyon stone, limestone, and slate among many others. 

 

Chad Ford Concrete is dedicated to transforming traditional concrete surfaces into aesthetically appealing designs to create works of art.  They install concrete for many commercial and residential applications and offer decorative concrete finishes to enhance the appearance of any surface.  Contact Chad Ford to learn more about their concrete services and available finishes or browse their gallery (http://chadfordsr-c.com/gallery/) for examples of their work.
