I gave the house a new look; it previously looked gloomy and neglected. I used high-quality materials, including special ones for plant care and to delay the reappearance of mold. With the right tools and my experience, I was able to finish washing it in two days, which helped my client keep costs low.

Transforming a Vancouver Home with Our Concrete Look Coarse Grey Finish
A Seamless, Architectural Concrete Aesthetic—Without the Weight of Real Concrete
When a Vancouver homeowner set out to create a sophisticated, modern apartment featuring barn-yard doors and industrial influences, they turned to 5 Star Finishes and our Concrete Look Coarse Grey plaster. The goal: bring the striking, architectural presence of poured concrete into the bedroom and entryway—without the limitations, cracks, or cold feel of real concrete.
A Custom Concrete Look with Precision Joint Patterns
For this project, the homeowner envisioned a custom joint pattern mimicking the clean geometry of architectural concrete panels. Our team taped out a precise layout using laser levels and pinstriping tape, ensuring absolute accuracy in every line.
To create authentic tie holes, stickers were strategically placed between the first and second plaster layers. This technique produces subtle recesses that replicate the look of poured-in-place concrete—adding dimension and unmistakable realism.
The Power of the Concrete Look Coarse Grey Plaster
Our Concrete Look Course Grey plaster is engineered to produce an incredibly convincing concrete texture. Using our specialized Concrete Look Texturing Tool, we’re able to create depth, movement, and natural imperfections that look and feel like true concrete—yet the finish remains:
Seamless
Lightweight
Durable
Suitable for interiors and exteriors
The result is a high-end, custom look that elevates any residential or commercial space.
Customizable to Your Design Vision
Every concrete-inspired finish can be tailored to your preferred style:
Joint widths can be wider or thinner
Tie holes can be subtle or deeply defined
Lines and patterns are completely customizable
Overall texture can be refined or more rugged depending on the desired mood
This flexibility makes the Concrete Look Coarse Grey product ideal for modern, industrial, Scandinavian, and minimalist spaces.

Choosing to abandon uniformity in your kitchen can be a great choice if you're looking to opt out of a monochrome aesthetic. Two-toned kitchen cabinets add visual interest and contrast while drawing focus to different features within the space. Designs utilizing two-toned cabinets have become very popular in recent years and it's not a trend that will be fading out any time soon.
Our clients opted for a combination of Earl Grey and Macchiato Classic cabinetry in their two-toned kitchen. The large island with its second faucet, sink, microwave drawer and lower storage is the focal point of the room and a great work surface for food prep and entertaining. A vertical pull out PowerDock was installed into the top of the island for plugging in kitchen tools, phones and laptops. Dolomite Marble subway tile and Brunello quartz countertops brighten up the kitchen and balance out the tone of the cabinets creating a light and airy feel. The addition of contrasting touches such as the Honey Bronze, Flat Black hardware and Champaign Bronze faucets, accessories the room beautifully. The subdued and sophisticated style of this two-toned kitchen is exquisite and shows the various ways that two-tone cabinets can be versatile and appealing.
Some of the other areas that were remodeled in this home included the complete overhaul of the existing stair well, a guest bath and laundry area.
The guest bath has beautiful vanity cabinets in Celest finish, Monochrome Lotus Deco tile and very reflective Midnight Dots in the shower floor and niche. The combination of all three give a striking white, blue and black design that will inspire and show that you can use pattern and texture in small spaces. A twenty four inch wall mounted shower seat can be lifted and secured when in use and tucked away to allow access out of the shower. A pocket door from the guest bathroom provides a second access point to the hallway with the laundry that has also been revamped with the same style and finish of cabinetry.

We don't just remove trees, we like to shape them up as well! We trimmed these two trees, getting them away from the power lines and making the property look just a little better more well-kempt.

This Multi-Coloured Slate floor looks nice in the Kitchen of this property in Hythe, however due to the riven surface of the tile and the deep grout lines my customer had struggled to keep it clean. Additionally, the Slate has lost all of its lustre over the years since it had been installed and it was now due a deep clean and reseal.
The combination of durability and price makes Slate a popular choice for floor covering, it is also available in a number of colours, ranging from plain black to a more diverse array of shades. Like any natural stone floor though it need sealing to keep the dirt out of the pores of the stone however sealers wear off with use
Hythe by the way is a lovely medieval coastal market town with its own beach on the edge of Romney Marsh and close to Folkestone.
Before starting I removed the kickboards underneath the kitchen units and protected the exposed woodwork with a thin film. To deep clean the Slate floor and remove any remaining sealer I applied Tile Doctor Remove and Go and left it to soak in for ten minutes before scrubbing it in with a light carbide brush. As well as removing the old sealer this process releases the dirt from the pores of the stone and brings it to the surface where it can be extracted.
I have probably mentioned this before, but I’ve invested in a powerful van mounted pressure extraction system for removing the dirt, old sealer and emulsified soils released from the stone. The system works by applying water at high pressure on the floor via a spinner tool and then simultaneously extracts the waste under suction back to a grey water tank on the van. From the customers point of view, it makes light work of cleaning the floor and more importantly leaves the floor dry and leaves no mess.
Having a dry floor at this stage is important as it means I can usually seal the floor on the same day. Its not a good idea to apply a sealer to damp floor as it will affect the way it cures and lead to an undesirable finish. The way to make sure the floor its dry is to use a moisture meter and take readings in several places around the floor. You can use an air mover to improve drying times however older floors can take a very long time to dry and for those I tend to book another day to apply the sealer.
With the floor dry I set about applying the first of two coats of Tile Doctor X-Tra Seal which provides both a hardwearing sheen to the slate as well as enhancing its natural colourings. It has strong water repellency characteristics which makes it ideal for use in a kitchen where spillages are quite common.
This was quite a small kitchen, so the work was completed in one day. My client was amazed at the transformation and grateful for our advice on continued maintenance which for this floor I recommended the use of Tile Doctor Stone Soap for daily cleaning.
