Concrete Resurfacing
Concrete resurfacing revitalizes worn surfaces using cementitious overlays. This cost-effective solution addresses cracks and discoloration while enhancing aesthetics. Ideal for driveways, patios, and pool decks, the process involves applying textured or smooth finishes that mimic natural stone. Our systems ensure durability and longevity, transforming aging concrete into visually appealing, functional spaces without full replacement.
Epoxy Flooring
Epoxy flooring provides durable, chemical-resistant surfaces suitable for residential and commercial spaces. Our installations feature rapid curing times and UV stability, preventing yellowing. The seamless finish resists stains and requires minimal maintenance, making it ideal for garages, warehouses, and showrooms. Customizable options include decorative flakes and high-gloss sealants that enhance both functionality and visual appeal.
Heat Reflective Coatings
Heat reflective coatings reduce surface temperatures by 25-30F using infrared-reflective technology. Applied to pool decks and patios, these acrylic sealers protect against UV damage and staining. The solution improves comfort for pedestrians and pets while maintaining aesthetic flexibility through thousands of color options. Commercial applications include resorts and multifamily housing complexes.
Structural Concrete
Structural concrete services encompass foundations, retaining walls, and flatwork installations. We follow engineering specifications for rebar reinforcement and compaction to ensure stability. Applications include residential driveways, commercial slabs, and decorative stamped patios. Proper installation prevents long-term structural issues, providing reliable support for buildings and outdoor spaces.
Waterproofing Systems
Waterproofing systems protect concrete and wood surfaces using flexible, fire-resistant membranes. Designed for high-traffic areas like balconies and staircases, our solutions prevent water infiltration while maintaining structural integrity. The Life Deck AL Flex system combines cementitious layers with acrylic topcoats, accommodating building movement and extending surface lifespan in residential and commercial environments.

I am in the process of redoing my pool deck that ACS did due to poor workmanship and improper design at a huge expense. Also redoing the installation of two accordion doors and having to rip up tile and put in the proper water proofing to fix the ongoing leaks. Many problems and redo of work all during the job. I would stay away from this company as they do not back what they do, the owner Mike Denny is combative and was not hardly involved even when things started to go south. They do not manage the project in a hands on fashion. It was a free for all with subs coming and going and no real management

No star is more reflective of this group. Stay far, far away from this company.They have NO integrity, blame others for their mistakes and will not fix their own mistakes. Mike Denny, the owner, after repeated attempts, just stopped communicating. Our patio and stone wall is literally cracking and falling off the house. After spending many thousands of dollars with them, I am now advised by some true professionals to demo and start over. Once I paid a professional engineer to come in and give me some advice, I found out that they: should have installed piers, had inadequate footings, used broken

I am very disappointed and sadden by this company. Initially worked with a great point person who later quit after the job was completed and money was collected. Months later had some issues with the work, took additional months to get someone to come out just to tell me they need to simultaneously inspect the work with the concrete company that they bought it from. Was told it was all under warranty and reassured me things will get resolved, weeks went by without any response, multiple calls were made with a lot of the same verbiage shes in a meeting Ill let her know you called or

I contacted ACS regarding some concrete and outdoor patio design. They indicated they handled this type of work and would send a designer and estimator to my house. The estimator showed but with no designer and come to find out they do not actually do any design work. They took some measurements and said they would get back with me on an estimate. A couple weeks went by and I contacted the company as I never received a quote or any information. I left all of my contact information for a follow up call. Once again no phone call or contact so I followed up two more times with absolutely no response
