Second Annual Concrete Restoration Contest
Once again, Concrete Decor's Concrete Restoration Contest attracted quality submissions from all over the country. The winning entries run the gamut from a small residential job to a large public works project spread across several buildings.
When Concrete Decor reviewed projects, we judged them using three criteria:
- The challenges the contractor faced in rehabbing the project, taking into consideration the state of the original concrete and obstacles that threatened to derail the work along the way.
- The level of creativity that went into the final look of the project.
- The ways in which the look of the restored piece compliments or contrasts with its surroundings, an important element to consider when rehabbing any preexisting concrete feature.
It was a difficult decision, but we are pleased to announce this year's winners:
First Place Interior, Royal Coat, Morehead City, N.C.
First Place Exterior, Black Hills Hardscapes, Hot Springs, S.D.
Second Place Interior, Architectural Polishing, Tempe, Ariz., and Simi Valley, Calif.
Second Place Exterior, Surface Design, Walnut Creek, Calif.
