We are considering a number of companies to texture our driveway. I've now heard 3 horror stories about "Artisticrete" and unsatisfactory service. They claim they are members of the Better Business Bureau, but not according to the BBB itself. Their production looks impressive, but we don't want to get stuck with a bad job. Does anyone have good experiences?

Personally, 3 bad stories would be enough for me.

They did our driveway an garage. Good job. Expensive but good. We have an extra long driveway.

They did our Lani and porch. The sales rep hand drew a sketch of the design we wanted and passed that on to the crew that did the job. The crew spoke very little English and there were a few problems with the initial tape layout. However, we were able to communicate our concerns to the crew and the design was corrected to our satisfication. The did a professional job, cleaned up well and did a beautiful job. They did a three color thick epoxy treatment. It has the appearance of tile with a raised texture.

The price for the Lani and porch was reasonable. I thought they were too high for the driveway, and we eventually went with another company and had pavers installed.

this does confuse things, since I really liked their designs & the triple epoxy idea. Maybe my friend & his acquaintances are exceptions to the rule.

Hi to RVRoadie, if possible, could you send me a photo of your lanai? We are working with them right now, and they can't quite get right what I'm trying to achieve. Otherwise, your address so we could look at it? my cell is 708-710-2464-would appreciate any help you could give. We are looking for appearance of tile with a raised texture. Thanks, Kathy

Make sure they put the proper "slip proofing" in their mix. They didn't for us and I ended up with a broken leg...in three places.

They did our lanai over 2 years ago and we were/are very pleased with their work.

Be careful - they have done a number of jobs - large and small for us. The workers do not understand english so you need to be present all while the work is being done. Good product and good work - just keep any pattern/stamping simple and you'll be fine. They are reasonable.

We had Artisticrete do our driveway and they did a fine job. We have a textured driveway with a beautiful textured palm tree.

We used Aristicrete a little over a year ago. They did our Driveway, and walkway to the front door. They also did the floor in our Lanai. We could not have been happier with the job. We've recommended them to several friends, who were equally satisfied. The boss was honest, and gave us exactly what we asked for. He explained everything, and was more than willing to show us other homes he'd done. The workers were polite, friendly, and worked very hard. A+ for a job well done. Trish

They did a decent job, driveway, patio, and epoxy garage floor. Doing the garage floor makes a hugh difference with dust and dirt cleanup. However make sure you protect everything in the garage that you cannot remove, everything metal because the acid wash will mist and get to things you think are covered. Then you will find "pitting" when you uncover.
