It is extremely durable, scratch resistant, almost entirely waterproof, easy to clean, affordable – all while coming in shapes and styles that are typically difficult with other types of flooring.

COLORADO CONCRETE REPAIR SERVICE DAY Our team at Colorado Concrete Repair had the opportunity to get our hands dirty Saturday, September 23rd, at the new Silver Lining House, which is a transitional house for homeless teens. The Lion Project, a non-profit organization that pairs businesses with non-profits to help the needs of the Denver community, organized the event, wherein we completed a couple projects with other Colorado businesses to improve the curb appeal of the Silver Lining House. This Colorado Concrete Repair Service Day was our second time working with The Lion Project to help fellow community members in need.
