From Butcher Shop Floor to Metallic Epoxy Showpiece

What started as a simple carpet-removal project became a major floor transformation. After removing carpet glue and addressing an uneven former butcher-shop floor, Decorative Concrete of Virginia installed a self-leveling overlay and a custom three-color metallic epoxy finish.

Preparing an Uneven Floor

Once the carpet and adhesive were removed, the crew found areas of concrete that had been patched and sections that sloped toward old drains. To create a level base, they shot-blasted the surface, applied an epoxy moisture-vapor barrier, broadcast sand for profile, and poured a self-leveling concrete overlay.

After the overlay cured, cracks and holes were patched before the metallic epoxy system began.

Installing the Metallic Epoxy

A gray-pigmented vapor barrier created the base layer for the decorative coating. The team then poured three metallic epoxy colors in the direction they wanted the veins to appear, carefully moving the slow-setting epoxy across the floor without overblending the design.

A clear urethane topcoat completed the system, protecting the epoxy and providing a durable wear surface.

Metallic epoxy creates a custom marbled appearance, with color movement and patterns that make every floor unique. It can be used in garages, basements, retail spaces, showrooms, and other interior concrete areas.decorativeconcreteofvirginia

Who We Are

OUR STORY

In 2001, a family vacation changed everything. While away, our dad—then a successful home builder—spotted a crew installing a decorative concrete overlay. Intrigued, he walked over, asked questions, and even jotted down the name from the bag of materials they were using. A few weeks later, we were on a plane to Florida for hands-on training.

What began as a side project soon became a passion. Our eye for quality and craftsmanship, paired with our growing expertise, transformed decorative concrete of virginia from a part time hustle into our full-time calling.

In 2010, our good friend Landon—who had been running his own landscaping business—partnered with us. Together, we expanded into polished concrete and commercial coatings, adding even more ways to bring beauty and durability to floors across Virginia.

Today, Decorative Concrete of Virginia is still family-owned and built on the same principles that started it all: hard work, quality craftsmanship, and treating every project like it’s for our own home.

It started with a spark of curiosity… and grew into a legacy of concrete artistry.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

Overall experience was great.
Tim went the extra mile to ensure that the coating would be compatible with my horrible concrete floor that suffered from spalling in the past. Used extra layer of vapor barrier to ensure good results. The team that came out was top notch as well, left the job site clean and were very friendly. I would definitely recommend them to do your floor project.

The folks at Decorative Concrete of Virginia are the absolute best at what they do! We are a repeat customer and I would not hesitate to hire them again. Our garage floor is now gorgeous! The team that worked on our floor was prompt, polite and really knew what they were doing. From the first contact with Colton to the finished product was wonderful.

Berry Q.

Decorative Concrete showed up on time, were very professional, and highly competent! We had them apply polyaspartic coatings to both our garage floor and the unfinished area of our basement. The floors now look terrific! Our builder was so impressed with their work that he was going to contract with them for future homes he builds. We would recommend them unhesitatingly!
