Certified Decorative Concrete Installers in Virginia

When it comes to decorative concrete, the difference between a surface that lasts decades and one that fails within a year often comes down to who installs it. At Decorative Concrete of Virginia, we are proud to employ a team of certified decorative concrete installers who bring proven expertise, hands-on training, and years of experience to every project.

Since 2001, our company has been a trusted name in Lynchburg, Roanoke, Charlottesville, Richmond, and across Central Virginia. From stamped concrete patios to epoxy garage flooring, polished concrete, and stained overlays, we combine technical knowledge with creative craftsmanship to deliver results that stand the test of time.

Why Certified Installers Matter

Decorative concrete is not a one-size-fits-all material. Every surface requires careful preparation, proper mixing, precise timing, and expert finishing. While anyone can pour concrete, it takes a certified professional to:

Apply stains, dyes, or epoxy coatings evenly and consistently
Achieve realistic textures in stamped concrete that mimic stone, brick, or wood
Prevent lifting, peeling, or flaking in overlays and epoxy systems
Ensure polished concrete achieves a smooth, reflective finish
Protect surfaces with proper sealing for long-lasting durability

Without certification and training, the risk of errors is high. An improperly installed concrete floor or patio may look fine at first, but issues like uneven coloring, poor bonding, and premature cracking often appear within months. By hiring certified installers, you’re protecting both your investment and your peace of mind.

Training & Certification Standards

Our team undergoes specialized certification programs and ongoing training to stay up to date with the latest industry standards and products. This includes expertise in:

Stamped Concrete – mastering color hardeners, release agents, and texturing techniques to create natural stone and wood looks.
Epoxy & Polyaspartic Coatings – applying high-performance garage floor and industrial coatings that resist chemicals, stains, and wear.
Concrete Overlays – renewing old slabs with sprayed, stamped, or troweled overlays that bond securely and add beauty.
Polished Concrete – using advanced grinders, densifiers, and sealers for modern, high-gloss floors.
Stained & Dyed Concrete – applying acid stains and water-based dyes for rich, consistent color tones indoors or outdoors.

Because decorative concrete is constantly evolving, our installers receive continuous education on new techniques, equipment, and materials. That means our customers always benefit from the latest proven solutions in the industry.

Certified Installers vs. DIY & Untrained Contractors

It’s common for homeowners to consider DIY concrete kits or hire the lowest-cost contractor, but the results often lead to disappointment. Without proper training, unskilled installers may:

Fail to prepare the surface correctly, causing coatings to peel or lift
Apply stains unevenly, resulting in blotchy or inconsistent colors
Use the wrong sealers, leading to premature wear or fading
Mismanage curing times, which can weaken the surface

By contrast, our certified installers follow a proven process from preparation to finishing, ensuring your concrete surface is both durable and visually stunning. The difference isn’t just in how it looks on day one—it’s in how well it holds up for years to come.

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!
