Tell Us About Your Projects

Dear Readers,
Have you ever considered calling us about a recent project you completed, thinking it would look sweet in the pages of Concrete Decor? But you didn’t! Maybe you don’t take the time to grab photographs of your jobs before, during or afterward. Or maybe you beam with pride over each project you complete, but you are simply too modest to share, except with those at the dinner table each evening.

At Concrete Decor, we too are a bit on the modest side. We don’t look up from our desk too often to relish our accomplishments. Maybe that’s a good thing!

What we generally are staring at on our desks is a computer monitor and the makings of a new edition of the magazine. Too often, however, we’re looking at photos that don’t necessarily tell the whole story, or they don’t expose important details that visually communicate the challenges or benefits of doing things correctly.

This is where your attention to detail is not only important to the project you’re doing, but to us as well. Allowing Concrete Decor, in essence, to be there with you on the job site and see your challenges and accomplishments as you do is a tremendous help to us in making each issue a success. Believe it or not, you have this ability. Despite your modesty, fear of competition, or feeling that there’s not enough time in the day to stop and take a couple of photos, your perspective is our best tool for communicating quality in each new issue we produce. That’s a topic that can never be stressed enough.

Decorative concrete is an exciting and evolving new facet of the concrete industry. For all intents and purposes, it’s an integral part of the industry’s future. The perspective that you provide us, as well as our readers, is one that influences everyone who works with concrete. Concrete Decor’s emphasis on concrete’s appearance does more than cause a number of “oohs” and “ahs.” It changes people’s expectations about concrete.

As you start to turn the pages of this new issue you’ll note that we’ve added some references to ConcreteDecor.net online archives. The Concrete Decor archives are a valuable place to gain added perspective on numerous decorative concrete subjects. We’d like to add your valuable perspective to an upcoming issue of Concrete Decor as well as to these valuable online archives.

Call us today. We’d like to hear from you.

Sincerely,

Bent Mikkelsen, Publisher
