My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Hi there, we "make" a similar product called limestone finish. Do you etch or sandblast the concrete?

    We etched the concrete. It can be done either way with minor variations in final appearance.

    We etch it also. We've experimented with different ways of applying it. We now typically do three applications of muriatic and water (ratio is three parts water and 1 part acid). Could I ask how you do it?
