VeraCrete and Vera Concrete Chicago together offer a complete, design-forward concrete and micro cement solution for residential, commercial, and hospitality projects across the Chicagoland area. They combine premium micro cement materials with specialty concrete installation services to transform new and existing surfaces into durable, modern architectural finishes.

Business Description
VeraCrete provides architectural-grade micro cement systems that resurface floors, walls, countertops, stairs, and furnishings with thin, high-performance coatings designed for tactile, minimalist, and continuous surfaces. These systems allow designers, builders, and property owners to achieve seamless concrete-style finishes over tile, drywall, masonry, or existing slabs with less demolition, faster timelines, and a custom aesthetic.

Vera Concrete Chicago delivers on-site specialty concrete services including micro cement installation, polished concrete, terrazzo, concrete repairs, and slab leveling for both new builds and renovations. The team prepares substrates, installs VeraCrete micro cement systems, and offers polishing and restoration options so clients can refinish worn or uneven concrete into clean, durable, low-maintenance surfaces.

**★★★★★ — William Zwicky, Nov. 2016**

> The 20 year old concrete floors in my condo needed refinishing.  Tony came out to give me an estimate and was very knowledgeable and professional.  The work was done on schedule and I am very happy with the results.
> I would highly recommend Vera Flooring.

**★★★★★ — Spyro Boukalis, Nov. 2016**

> Vera did an amazing job with my basement concrete floor. Easy to work with, great style tips and truly responsible to make everything come to fruition. Would recommend to anyone looking to work with concrete on their home or business.

**★★★★★ — Anna D'Arco DeLeo, Feb. 2015**

> I hired Tony Vera after I saw his reviews on Houzz.  After I made the appointment he sent his manager to look at the job, Rigo.  I was a little concerned because all he did was take pictures of the floor. I wanted to go over details and color.  I called Tony to set a date. I did not know the process of doing this floor. And thought I would talk to him in person the day they started. Tony did not come. Was concerned. Rigo, who did the job, told me Tony would be here tomorrow.  Tony did come to supervise when the color was being applied.  The next day Rigo came to buff the floor. He asked me if everything's was all right. I said there was one section that seemed a little yellow to me. He said no problem. He ended up spraying the whole floor again and then had to seal it again and buff. He was so patient with me.   Very happy with the floor. My goal was to have it match my wood stairs so it would flow. I cannot brag enough about Tony and Rigo.  I would highly recommend Vera

**★★★★★ — shadaway, Dec. 2014**

> I was so pleased with Vera Decorative Concrete. The attention to detail, samples, and overall experience was a 10. Tony explained the process so well to my client and made us feel very confident in the outcome. The follow up afterward was also timely and they made sure the client was fully satisfied with the final product.

**★★★★★ — Nicholas Design Collaborative, Dec. 2014**

> I am an architect and builder who has been looking for a high quality polished concrete contractor who could produce a beautiful but subtle stained and polished stained concrete floor that could work well with the modern architectural style that I typically design.  Tony and his team are simply the best I have found.  They are friendly, accommodating, detailed and demanding of their own work, good with people, and are quick to respond when they are required to meet a challenging schedule.  The finish they produce is beautiful and were able to exceed the quality that I strive for in my work.  I would recommend Vera to anyone.

**★★★★★ — heatoftroy, Feb. 2013**

> Tony Vera came to our rescue! We decided to replace the carpet in our finished basement with a polished concrete floor. We hired another company to do the work and they botched the job terribly. I was devastated to say the least. I searched online for a true professional to fix the mess the other company created and was lucky enough to find Tony Vera. Tony and his team swooped in and magically transformed our horrific concrete floor into a thing of beauty.  He and his team were efficient, cost effective, courteous and a pleasure to work with. We are currently in the process of scheduling our next project with Tony to start this spring. He and his team will be restoring the front facade of our home that was built in 1893. It will be a large project but we know that Tony Vera is a true craftsman!

**★★★★★ — bethjacoby, Feb. 2013**

> We couldn't have been more pleased with Tony Vera and his team!  In fact, we've used him twice.  We first brought Tony in after we ripped up our old, engineered wood floor, and he restored and custom colored the concrete that was underneath it.  We've loved the results so much, we just had him re-finish another area.  Everyone who sees the floors flips for them.  It's no wonder that Vera Floors are busy.  And, if there's one negative to this story, it's that you may have to wait for him.. Fortunately, it's worth it!

**★★★★ — Perimeter Architects, Jan. 2013**

> Vera Concrete installed and provided us expertise on a modern home we completed in Chicago. Pricing was fair and quality craftsmanship was achieved. They installed hand troweled concrete stairs and beautiful white epoxy resin floors on the main level of this home
