Asheville NC Real Estate - Smart Renovations 2010  include. . .  CONCRETE!

In the Asheville NC real estate market , where eco-friendly features such as concrete innovations and design trends add-value to residential properties, I have been asking, " Are you ready to discover one of the newest design trends that actually is as old as the Roman Empire? " 

Discovery :: The "New Concrete"- colorful, fine-fashioned, and with shining surfaces, the new concrete offers solutions in sustainable innovation that  I daresay could have astounded Caesar himself.  According to Wikipedia,  in the Emperor's day,  the "Concrete Revolution, freed Roman construction from the restrictions of stone and brick material and allowed for revolutionary new designs both in terms of structural complexity and dimension."  

Today, in that same spirit, revolutionary new designs in custom concrete provide solutions --
"stadiums-full" of property owners can applaud. Solid, dependable, "concrete solutions" that make sense for both indoor and outdoor use.   

Speaking of stadiums, how about this concrete solution from Elite Crete?

Carole, We're seeing more requests for this type of flooring. One of our clients requested a kitchen and bath in stained concrete. We are in the middle of another custom home that will also have exposed concrete floors. One secret is in quality surfacing materials.

With, as you say, "...over 30 years of business ownership experience in real estate and the design and construction businesses...." you must be as excited about this "new" concrete design as I am...

Very good point you make. When I think about doing concrete..whether flooring or the kitchen countertops I am envisioning, I think of trained artisans who have the know-how to bring the quality, color and results I expect. Like you, I appreciate color and the nuances...stay tuned....

Hi JaneAnne!  Don't you just LOVE stained concrete flooring!  It's just so urban!  Alot of our Uptown condos started doing this several years ago and I just didn't get it at first but, it has definitely grown on me and I would buy a home with this in a heartbeat now! 

Hope you're doing well and staying warm up there!  We're freezing again today here--if it's going to be this cold, I want some white fluffy stuff to go along with the cold!!
