"Eric is a 10 out of 10. He is responsive, detail-oriented, thoughtful, and supremely talented. He loves his work and it shows in both the process and the product - he expends time and effort that are far beyond what can possibly be justified by the price of the project. He is a pleasure to work with and a genuinely nice and trustworthy person. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone and DEFINITELY plan to work with him in the future as soon as I come up with another concrete project to work on."

Why Concrete?

Customization. Concrete can be persuaded to take on any shape or color. Yet concrete refuses to appear manufactured and monochrome. We offer every client a product that is thoughtfully handcrafted and totally unique. Whether it is a custom sink, a fire table, or a kitchen counter, there will be none quite like it.

Beauty. Concrete is one of the most beautiful media of expression available. Derived from earthen materials, concrete is perfect for capturing the organic designs that we enjoy creating.

Design. We strive to express our artistic vision as much as possible in all of our projects while incorporating the client's vision as well. Sometimes this is done with hand sketches and verbal descriptions. Other times, we create computer renderings and dimensional drawings to engage our clients in an iterative design process. Whatever the case may be, each piece is painstakingly designed with utmost consideration to aesthetics, structural integrity, and logistics.

Environment. Concrete is the U.S. Green Building Council's top pick among countertop materials. Most other countertop materials (especially natural stones) are quarried and/or cut from larger pieces, meaning that a lot of energy is spent processing material that will never be used. We carefully calculate our mixes so that little to no waste remains after the job is done. Lighter and stronger than traditional concrete, our style of concrete incorporates by-products such as fly ash, resulting in a lower carbon footprint. We reuse materials as much as possible, use recycled building materials whenever we can, and reduce water demand by dry-polishing our products. We seal our concrete with water-based sealers to avoid high-VOC solvents. In all that we do, we strive to be as clean and energy- and resource-efficient as possible.

Durability. Concrete has passed the test of time, as seen in the ancient Roman structures that have been standing for over 2000 years. Since its inception, concrete has continued to evolve, allowing us the advanced design capabilities of today. Barring some seriously catastrophic event, your concrete art will last many lifetimes.

Proximity. Our clients value the fact that our products are locally handcrafted using materials that are sourced as close to home as possible. This means less fossil fuel consumption and more dollars kept in our local economy.
