If you were one of the lucky American's who received a tax return this year perhaps you're considering some home improvement. Nashville Concrete Contractors Where can you get the most bang for your buck? I can tell you one way and that is flooring. Flooring can dramatically change the overall appearance of your home. When you think about the investment to say upgrade your kitchen or bathroom, generally speaking you can get more value out of your floors. One reason is what I mentioned before, that it changes the look of your entire house, not just one room.

What type of flooring to choose, well if you have read any of my articles you know what my vote is; decorative concrete. Seamless and sustainable, decorative Concrete Contractors in Nashville can achieve the look of many of the more expensive alternatives. You may have seen tile at a big box store at $2.00 per sq. ft. Sounds like a great deal. Have you ever had this big box stores out to give you an official estimate? If you do, you will see that they are able to tack on many additional fees that not can bring your $2.00 per sq. ft. tile upwards of $5.00 and $6.00. And after it's all said and done, you are now stuck with tile and the work that it takes to maintain those grout lines. Also, tile is not seamless, bacteria and allergens can hide in those seems and you would never know it.

Decorative concrete can achieve the look of tile or wood and provide a healthy environment. Can it be a more cost effective solution; the answer is yes. It all depends on the many variables to consider. For example, do you have tile or carpet on your floor already? If so, that needs to be removed and the remnants need to be dealt with. So your decorative concrete contractor should have the equipment to deal with all of that, but there is labor involved. So the cost of the removal of existing flooring will be factored into your bid. Next, how complex do you want the design to be. With decorative concrete there are limitless possibilities unlike the tile or wood floor counterpart. Third is the type of sealer that is used on your project. do you want a little texture or do you envision your floor smooth as glass. All of these variables will come into play when it's time to tally up the cost.

What will not happen if you are dealing with an experienced reputable contractor is that you will be quoted a price and then it triples when the paperwork is done. Your contractor will walk you through all of the cost associated with your new floor and there will not be any surprises. A good decorative concrete contractor will not quote you a price over the phone unless you are dealing with a new home construction. The reason is they want to see the project and be sure there are no unforeseen issues that need to be factored into a bid. Issues such as contaminants on the floor, cracks or excess moisture.
