Owned by Estella
Cummings and Paul Szulewski, Dare Concrete can do driveways, patios,
slabs, pool decks, and now, they also have forms to pour the walls for
houses.
In the decorative
area, Dare Concrete can replicate stone, slate, cobblestone or brick,
and they can also sandblast decorative designs that can dress up the
concrete in your ground level recreation room or office. You can choose
from colored, stained, stamped, sprayed or exposed concrete and an unlimited
array of colors and patterns.
The stain resistant
product Dare Concrete uses will cover up any stains that may already
be on the concrete and keep it from getting more stained. "You probably
have concrete anyway," Estella said, "so why not make it look nice."
Dare Concrete is
now sealing their work and will soon be sealing all the concrete they
lay, making it impervious to the elements. Their resurfacing work makes
it much stronger, increasing the surface resistance. Getting into their
beginning development business, homes built with concrete are getting
increasing attention as being energy efficient and storm proof, withstanding
winds up to 200 mph.
Dare Concrete can
also provide you with concrete countertops. For a sample, check out
the bar top at JK's Restaurant.
Dare Concrete works
within a wide range of costs and can work with you on your budget. Homeowners
should realize that concrete workers who are hired on a cash only basis
are probably not insured. If anything happens to your home, they won't
be responsible. Most will not come back to clean up the job site.
Dare Concrete is
an insured company with an established reputation. They have a 24-hour
message center, and you can always get in touch with them.
Many times people
call Estella and Paul, then call them back, telling them that they have
found someone who charges $1,000 less. "I tell them fine," Estella said.
"When you need it fixed, call us."
"Concrete is something
very permanent," she added. "Once it's there, it's permanent, so you
need the most professional job you can get."
Estella and Paul
have operated Dare Concrete on the Outer Banks for four years and have
ten years of experience. They belong to ACI, American Concrete Institute,
and are ACI Certified. They understand the rules regarding pour and
finish and know everything they need to know to provide you with a strong,
nice looking product.
"We care for the
work we do," Estella and Paul say, "We are proud of saying we did that.
We have a solution for every concrete problem. Our main philosophy is
to do our work 110 percent and make our customers happy with the product
we deliver. We do affordable residential work and our prices to homeowners
are close to what we charge builders."
Dare Concrete is
an established company and the owners expect it to keep growing until
it is a large enterprise. Paul and Estella have a strong background
and good work ethics.
They do commercial
as well as residential work and have done work at the Carolina Club,
the parking lot at R & R Rentals, and they have restored the deck at
the Monterey Shores clubhouse. Estella and Paul can provide you with
excellent references upon request.
