Recommended by 100% of Angi customers

Concrete Ink originated in 2011 with a vision of providing concrete flooring solutions for residential customers. We began our foray into the decorative concrete flooring business with the coloring (acid staining), and polishing of existing residential concrete basement floors. Creating an artful finished floor solution out of the existing 4″ thick concrete substrate proved to be a perfect marriage of utility and beauty. Since that time, we have been installing, training and broadening our scope of efforts to include retail, commercial and industrial flooring solutions for our clients. The positive feedback and increased demand for our residential work validated our original premise, and opened our eyes to the infinite creative possibilities within our industry. Over the years, we have focused on honing our skills by seeking out and training with the best instructors and installers in our industry. Our continued commitment to expanding our knowledge has sent us to California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Utah. Our client base now reaches across the United States, and we are proud of our reputation and results. We look forward to working with you soon! Contact us today for a FREE estimate
