| My History: Welcome to San
Antonio Decorative Concrete of San Antonio, Texas on
the internet at www.sadecorativeconcrete.com. Thank you for
visiting our web site. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name
is Andrew Hernandez. My family has been in the concrete business
for four generations. This is my legacy. I’m happy to announce my
32nd year specializing in the industry. I’m also excited to say that
we’ve been using our decorative concrete technique for the last 17 of these
years.
Decorative Concrete’s Birth:
In the 1980s, I was involved in large commercial building projects. On
one particular job I was intrigued by a particular “wood plank” design
in the flooring. This was the beginning of my passion and inspiration
for decorative concrete. I soon began my quest to find out more by searching
for various companies that would instruct and train me to use the specialized
skills needed to achieve this look. I remember driving all night
to Tampa, Florida where I would receive my first certification along with
two family members. I couldn't wait to come home and experiment with
the skills I had just learned. To my surprise, people were not interested
in this new process. For about two and half years more I was only able
to sell was spray deck. To learn more about the industry, I began attending
trade shows on home and gardening, parade of homes, etc. Shortly thereafter,
I began using a variety of decorative concrete installation techniques,
but still wasn’t satisfied with my process.
After several certifications, I began
to realize that my prior concrete experience and new ideas in decorative
concrete needed to be merged. This method finally allowed my imagination
to realize its full potential. It wasn't long before I began incorporating
my newly developed knowledge into creating decorative installations and
overlays.
Experience: San Antonio International
Airport’s Traffic Tower, The Alexan Apartments in Austin, Texas, and the
4-D theatre at Sea World in San Antonio, Texas are just a few of the many
projects Decorative Concrete has been involved with. I am very proud
to have played a small part in the Texas industry, and am excited about
additional projects in the near future for both commercial and private
projects.
Going Forward: Our industry
continues to grow with new, innovative products and tools. As new
techniques and processes evolve, we will be on top of these changes by
attending various seminars and utilizing any new techniques we learn.
Among some of the latest revolutionary products are ¼ inch overlay,
acid stains, stenciling, spray-top systems, stamp concrete tools, decorative
scoring, epoxies, crack repairs, and concrete countertops, all which have
proven effective for the repair, restoration, and beautification of existing
surfaces.
