After interviewing a number of companies, I finally decided to go with the One Awesome Concrete’s Polished concrete, after they had installed a free no obligation sample at our store. Napoleon and his staff were always quick to respond to any questions that I had. They provided a very competitive bid, and the workmanship was impeccable. Use this company, they will not disappoint.
By far Napoleon’s explanation of the process, and their price, were the best. They minimized the downtime, by working around the only available window of work for this factory, which was the Christmas holidays. They did a great job of cleaning up at the end of each day. The transformation of these 65 year old floors is fantastic. Great company, great products and excellent service. I highly recommend them.
