Using proprietary products and techniques, we have been making art out of ordinary concrete since 2006—providing real value to property owners. Environmentally-friendly and cost-effective, decorative coatings are a fraction of the expense of stone, brick, tile, pavement, or wood. As a result, our services are in constant demand. This is a home based business with a storage facility. Extremely cash friendly and quick ramp up time—installations typically take one day. Concrete Craft is the 3rd of 9 strong brands under the Home Franchise Concepts banner, and new franchisees will benefit from the parent company’s focus on marketing, systems, training and support.
