Here Is Why the ART of Concrete by Jeff Artmann Is the Ideal Contractor for All Your Concrete Projects
If your home improvement (or repair) plans include any concrete work, it’s important to hire the right contractor for the job.
Regardless of the project you're planning, the contractor you choose should not only meet your budgets – they should be able to help you visualize your goal and provide you with guidance, recommendations, and a strategy to make it come together.
It might have crossed your mind to do the project by yourself, but that might not be the right move for you — especially if you’re not as knowledgeable about concrete.
Jeff Artmann is a concrete contractor from ART of Concrete who can help you with all of your custom concrete projects. He provides a high level of service and creativity to ensure you get quality results when the project is done.
Here are some other reasons why you should contact him today to assist you with your concrete projects.
Your driveway looks dull
You may have looked at your driveway and thought that something was missing. If you can't pinpoint what it is, maybe it’s because it could use a fresh look and feel; something more...
Stamped concrete may be just the thing your home needs.
Stamping is a process where you add texture and color to concrete to make it look like stone, brick, cobblestone, or other products. This gives a driveway more visual character and is aesthetically appealing.
Contractors install stamped concrete by pressing a mold into the concrete while it’s still in the plastic slate. It has a lower cost and is durable, making it a great choice for renovation projects.
As beautiful as stamped driveways appear, they can, in fact, become more slippery in the elements. For this reason, Jeff may recommend a broomed finish for more sloping surfaces. You can apply colored concrete with a broomed finish to give it a pop of color while having the grip of a broomed finish for a safer surface to walk on. Broomed finishes are also less expensive - which not every concrete guy will tell you about.

You want to enjoy your neighborhood again
There has been a movement by homeowners over the last couple of years to start using the front of their house as a patio area, especially by those homes without a traditional front porch. It creates an inviting atmosphere where people enjoy watching their neighbors pass by.
If you want to jump on the trend, consider making a front patio more aesthetically appealing with the installation of a stained concrete patio.
Looking for a creative solution to that basement flooring
Stained concrete involves a process called Acid Stain. The coloring process involves a chemical reaction that seeps into the concrete.
Acid Stains leave a marble-like look on your floor. It presents beautiful colors that mostly combine brown and green tones. It’s eye-catching and a perfect conversation starter.
You can also get stained concrete for other areas in your home, like walkways, recreation rooms, bathrooms, and other high-traffic areas.
You need an apron repair
A concrete apron is an important part of your driveway. It makes the transition between the driveway level and your garage floor, or between your driveway and the frontage road leading up to (or running in front of) your home.
If not done properly, concrete aprons will easily sink. It’s not worth the hassle and money to have it installed or repaired by non-professionals.
Surprisingly, not all concrete contractors can do apron repairs. Only the best with a lot of experience can do these types of repairs, and no one does it better than Jeff Artmann of ART of Concrete.

Look
for a contractor who follows trends
You may have been browsing social media for inspiration on how you can upgrade your home. You can do many ideas, but not many contractors can do them.
Not all contractors stay up-to-date with modern ideas for home renovations. You wouldn’t want to consult with someone who hasn’t had experience installing trendy concrete projects.
If you're looking for a concrete contractor, make sure they know the trends, but more importantly, they know how to recreate these ideas for your home – or will tell you if something will or will not work for your space or might be more difficult or costly due to soil makeup.
Other local current trends include…
- building out that patio area between the front of the house and the detached garage
- bonfire pit patio areas - perfect for enjoying Minnesota's beautiful, yet short, summer season
- adding stone-like retaining walls on the front of the property to provide more depth to the landscaping
