Customer
Service & Technical Support |

The terms "Customer
Service" & "Technical Support" are perhaps the most over used term
in all of business and certainly in the architectural/ decorative
concrete overlay business as well. Customer support is our primary
backbone and something we are extremely well known for and proud of.
We completely understand that having a good support system to turn
to is the most critical resource to have in the decorative concrete
overlay business. Other than
experience, education is the key to success.
Most people think
that our technical support is for when they need answers and
solutions to resolve application problems. We look at it much
different and therefore want our customers to take full advantage of
the technical support we offer. Although the application of
decorative concrete overlays and concrete stains such as acid stain
and antiquing stain are relatively simple to the experienced
installer, we provide support at any level.
Our intent in
offering technical support is to not only solve problems, but to
prevent problems from arising in the first place. We have the most
knowledgeable and experienced staff as it pertains to decorative
concrete overlays and concrete stains in the industry. We realize this
is a bold statement to make. However, we invite anyone to call our
technical engineering office for honest, informative answers to
current, future or past decorative concrete overlay projects.
We want our
customers to call us early in the bidding and estimating stages to
make sure they are taking all issues into consideration. After that
we will help you through the setup stage of the job, then the
preparation and so on and so forth until the job is complete. It is
our goal to assist out customers though the completion stages of
jobs so they are installed as flawlessly as possible while saving
money.
If
you are looking for an estimate and need to locate a decorative
concrete overlay or concrete staining contractor in your area send us an email with your name, address and how we can reach you
to
sales@elitecretetexas.com.

Glossary for
understanding terms used within this website:
- Thin stamped overlay -
A polymer modified concrete based coating that is applied about 1/4" thick
to an existing concrete surface and stamped to resemble that of conventional
full depth stamped concrete.
- Splatter texture
overlay - A polymer modified concrete based coating that is sprayed on with
a drywall type hopper gun to provide a decorative and skid resistant
decorative concrete coating.
- Knockdown overlay -
Like the splatter texture overlay, this is a polymer modified concrete based
coating that is sprayed on with a drywall type hopper gun and flattened with
a trowel to provide a decorative and skid resistant decorative concrete
coating.
- MICRO-FINISH - An
extremely smooth polymer modified concrete coating product used for
decorative concrete applications on interior concrete surfaces where a
custom and seamless but decorative concrete floor is desired. MICRO-FINISH
can be colored with an acidstain product to give it the look of aged colored
concrete.
- Acidstain - Also known
as chemical stain is a solution of chemical metallic salts in diluted
hydrochloric acid and water used to create a stain solution that when comes
in contact with concrete, creates a color effect. acidstain is typically
available in colors ranging from red to tan to black to gold to brown to
blue and even green. Perhaps the only disadvantages of acidstain is that the
color cannot always be predicted because of variations in concrete
substrates and that the acidstain needs to be neutralized the same as
concrete must be neutralized before a decorative concrete coating is
applied.

- ULTRA-STONE stain: A
non-hazardous stain that is used in place of acidstain based products where
good color variation is needed on concrete, decorative concrete, stamped
concrete or other concrete coatings.
- Decorative concrete -
Concrete surfaces that have been colored or coated with acid stain, chemical
stain, concrete coatings or thin concrete overlays to improve the look of
plain gray concrete.
