Introduction: We are open to any challenge! Many overlay companies are limited to simple designs (brick, tile etc..). We at A.S.R. have trained in several artistic styles and can apply them to "harder" projects. Being able to faux paint on the overlay insures there are no unsightly color variance (due to uneven application or surface condition). We enjoy doing unique designs and charge much less for labor than our competitors simply because we have trained in different artistic mediums. The diversity! Each job can be totally different from others. Sometimes we do simple, one color overlay, sometimes we do intricate designs with hand painted detail. Since the average project takes a week or so, we get the pleasure of seeing our completed work quickly and can move on to the next job. We get to take a plain surface and make it outstanding relatively fast! Also, some clients want something totally unique, then I get to help them design something no one else has. I find that very satisfying. There are always new applications and techniques being taught, so there is always something new to learn and practice. I enjoy applying new knowledge to a project and watching it come out beautifully!

David Pinta was as professional as we could hope for. My initial thought was he looked young for a business owner, but once I spoke with him I knew he had the experience needed. David and Shelly (manager) worked on our driveway for a week and completely transformed our house! Who would've guessed a change in the driveway would totally change the whole look of our property. They were very helpful in creating a design and choosing colors that would best compliment our house. While they were working, all my neighbors came by to see and couldn't believe it was cement! Now, when we have a new visitor they think we have brick inlayed in our driveway; it looks and feels authentic! They also added my husband and my initials for no added cost. I never expected to be so happy with the results. My husband and I have lived in this house over 50 years and A.S.R. made it look new again! I had several bids done before I decided on David, his labor price was much less than other companies and the work was top notch! Our driveway is displayed in the photo's (with the brick border and diamond center). I'd also be glad to give a great referance to anyone who is considering having work done by them. They were so pleasent and talented, I could go on and on about how happy I am that I took a chance on their small business!

A.S.R. has done two separate jobs for me in the past two years and both are great. Summer 2009 we had them resurface our garage with a tile pattern and have had many compliments about it. I wasn't very familiar with overlay but since it was cheaper than any alternative, we took a chance and are very happy with the result. Last year, my wife and I decided we wanted a brick border on our front walkway and patio. After calling around, I realised brick was a little out of our budget so we called A.S.R. to see if they had a cheaper alternative and decided to go that rout. David and a very nice young lady recolored our cement, made us a brick border and even added brick to the step on our patio. The bricks are raised above the grout lines as they should be, and it feels exactly like the real thing! Also, the colors they helped us choose match and compliment our home much better than we ever expected. No one has ever questioned the authenticity of the brick because it absolutely looks real and we get compliments on it regularly. I would give A.S.R. an A+ on every level. They were knowledgeable, helpful (not pushy), skilled and cheaper than companies in our area. They travelled from the St. Louis area to do the work and we still saved money. I recommend this company to anyone who has concrete they want worked on, I'm sure they'll end up as happy as we are.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Price is determined by several factors. Cost of materials being one. Depending on size of surface, repairs needed, number of colors, detail and difficulty of design, each project requires different amounts of several types of materials. Also, the cement overlay and Acid Stain are two completely diffent applications that are not the same price. Some projects require both. Also, indoor surfaces must be treated with special care to protect other surfaces and might require additional preporation and material. There is a price per sqare foot for labor and with this trade, that price depends on complexity and difficulty of design. Custom hand painted jobs would obviously cost more than simple patterns.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes, we at A.S.R. are constantly scouting for seminars and classes to learn new techniques and applications for our overlay and acid stain systems. There are many decorative overlay manufacturers with all types of classes, materials and insider knowledge. We are committed to excellence in service, technique and diversity. To be the best in a growing field, you must continue to learn everything possible. We want to be the best, so we learn what we can from industry leaders.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I worked several years with another company doing overlay and really liked it. Unfortunately, my previous employer didn't have any artistic background or vision. Also, he didn't pay attention to the details, so the designs didn't always line up and therefore didn't look professional. I knew I could do better and with help from my fiance and her artistic skills we could blow most of the competition away. The overhead for this line of work is minimal, so we decided to give it a try! And we are happy we did!
