Patios and Houston - a Houstonians point of view - by Richard Keelin, PE
Patios and Houston is as cup is to tea....
Thats what architect Phillip Ewald says about the Houston Concrete Patio company crave thats sweeping across this bustling community.
When ConcreteForever.com opened up its new residential division in Houston and starting
offering their exotic architectural cast in place stamped concrete patios, driveways and sidewalks to the residential clients in Houston rather than just Malls, Schools and commercial facilities it literally took Houston by storm with the exotic concrete patio fad spreading like wild fire, says staff engineer Richard Keelin.
The costs of turn-key installations associated with a Decorative Concrete Patio
that is colored, stained, engraved, molded, patterned, stamped and integrated
with the latest technology in engineered concrete composite technology are
calculated at an average rate of between $8.00 and $12.00 per sq ft (square foot)
for a nominal slab thickness of 5" to 6" depending on quantity, design and other
project variables that contribute to the construction budget.
A stamped concrete driveway with a nominal slab thickness of 6" to 8", dual
reinforcement, stained, colored, integral molecular fiber reinforcement, molding,
engraving, concrete demolition and site excavation, patterned, texturing and
epoxy resin sealing usually costs between $8.00 to 12.00 per sq ft for a turn key installation.
The structural integrity of a Decorative slate Stamped Concrete Patio in Houston
installed versus a natural slate installation is generally about 110% greater than
it's natural stone counterpart.
By nature stone, slate and other natural materials have relative low strength
properties and are unable to sustain under loads. So a Decorative ECC Stamped
Concrete Patio or Stamped Concrete Driveway is a viable, smart alternative to
installing natural stone or slate versus a structurally engineered concrete
composite Patio or Drive way.
Houston Patios used to be just a plain concrete slab with a broom finish or if the builder got fancy an exposed aggregate (pebble) finish.
Now, if you stroll through many of the upscale residential neighborhoods you'll
see that Patios in Houston have taken on a whole new meaning as the classy and elegent stamped concrete patios embrace not only feng shui design but also integrating colors,
stamped slate, stamped stone and cast in place decorative concrete benches that add splendor to any Houston residence.
Houston Patio Builder and supervisor at ConcreteForever.com, Ricky Gueterrez says,
"Homeowners are embracing our hi-tech Patios and Houston is beginning to get
thirsty for the "I want That" fever that is catching on all over Houston Texas.
Utilizing the latest in Engineered Concrete Composites that offer a decorative concrete patio that looks like stone, slate and even wood but has the structural flexibility that has been intergrated in concrete bridges and overpasses for years.
"Our extensive commercial background has given us an opportunity to utilize the
best technology available today into Houstons Residential market offering
superior houston patio installations that you couldn't get five years ago", says Miguel Fajardo Gonzales, Supervisor for ConcreteForever.com

My wife and I recently purchased a home in The Heights and we wanted to add a custom patio and a patio cover. We contacted several companies and it seemed that no one had a viable solution until we talked to Affordable Concrete Contractors(www.concreteforever.com)and we were impressed with their design suggestions as well as a viable solution for the complex patio roof. The stamped concrete patio came out great and they even came back about a month later and resealed the patio due to some blemishes in the previous sealer. Very forthright and upstanding company! G.

We live in Texana Plantation and we had this company come out and install our circular stamped concrete driveway. We paid just over $25K and believe it or not Concrete Forever was the middle bid. We went with them because of the quality of work they have on the website but more importantly was the stamped concrete driveway specifications, impressive to say the least. As I am an engineer with Fluor Daniels Construction it takes a lot to impress me. Long story short the installation took about 2 weeks and went pretty smooth. They left a bit of a mess but I guess it's typical for any concrete contractor. Our driveway was featured in Houston House and Home magazine last year and it's obvious why, it is the most unique and elegant driveway I've ever seen (if a driveway can actually be called elegant)

Concrete Forever replaced our concrete driveway with a stamped concrete driveway nicely done in a European cobblestone fanstone design. They did leave a few stakes in the ground when they were done and the concrete wasn't as glossy as my wife had hoped for so I called the company and told them my concerns and to my surprise they came out the next day and pulled out the stakes and re polished my entire driveway to a ultra high gloss. It's been about a year since they did the installation and it still looks like it was just done yesterday. Great company to work with!Jay Harris

My Husband and I have been planning to have a patio installed in our backyard for more than a year.As I gathered bids from other companies I began to wonder if we were ever going to find a reputable company to install our patio project! Everyone that came out was either late, shady looking or like the last company had a picture book full of fuzzy pictures that were obvious copies of what appeared to be out of a magazine. Finally, in January we found Concrete Forever through some friends of mine at work and we were very impressed with their website and the endless pages of information and the crystal clear digital photos of their custom stamped concrete on their website. We were impressed enough to hire them on the spot. They came out the following week and installed everything in three days and it just came out beautiful! It's bigger than we agreed upon also and they even replaced some of the grass that got damaged in the process. We appreciate their attention to detail and our neighbors do too! (they had a driveway installed by Concrete Forever too)Thanks Affordable Contractors for a job well done!

I am a supervisor at David Weekly Homes we are one of Houston's Largest Custom Home Builders. We use Concrete Forever for all our decorative concrete projects and wouldn't think of using anyone else.Their Concrete installation skills are unsurpassed when it comes to stamped concrete and decorative concrete finishes. When Concrete Forever rolls out to a job-site it's like the Calvary just arrived - They come with company trucks, uniformed crew, dumptruck & dozer that just makes a great impression on our clients. They always have an on site supervisor and the finishing details are second to none. Our customers have spoken very highly of the Concrete Forever Crew & I look forward to using them on our next project.R. Bowers superintendent

This company did a $24,000 patio job for us that is worth every penny. We had our custom patio and arbor designed by a professional designer but when David came out from Concrete Forever .com he competely redesigned eveything right in front of our eyes at our kitchen table and gave us an amazing stamped concrete patio design, with a lighted cobble stone firepit and an adorable pavillion, Our fountain we bought was handsomely placed in the center of lighted cobblestone circle he placed in the center of our european slate patio. David built and designed an impressive arrow head topped rod iron railing he installed around a portion of our firepit we give this company a 5 star rating. Thank you for an outstanding job

Quick note just to say, "Great job!" The stamped concrete patio you did for us came out better than I expected, I never imagined that concrete could look just like slate. The superintendent, Jay was very knowledgeable and helpful during the entire process and we're greatful. The crew was well mannered and professional. We highly recommend doing business with Concrete Forever!

We had several bids from other concrete contractors in Houston and Concrete Forever was the company we finally chose because they seemed the most qualified and the project estimator was very professional.
We are thrilled with the outstanding job they did for us. The Salesman was very friendly and has a knack for design. The job was completed in a reasonable time frame and the superintendent was attentive to every detail. Our neighbors have already called and made an appointment for ya'll to do their concrete driveway!.
