Think all concrete is gray, dull, and flat? You haven’t seen the permanently stamped, colored, and texturized projects John Metzinger installs at Everything Concrete. Driveways, patios, walks, and floors resemble brick, stone, cobblestone, colored ceramic tile, marble, and planked wood. Metzinger uses Kuhlman concrete for these state-of-the-art applications.

Even existing floors and patios receive new life by spraying, staining, or using the latest technique—stenciling with the Spray-RiteTM architectural system. Although designer applications cost more, business is booming.

“We’re getting orders for entire subdivisions. All the driveways and sidewalks in The Sanctuary will be stamped like slate,” explains Metzinger. “There’s absolutely no limit to the colors and textures available. This unlimited potential is exciting.”

“Three years ago, we switched to Kuhlman from a competitor so that we could always provide our customers with top-quality concrete. Quality comes first—that’s why we depend on Kuhlman concrete. It’s durable, consistent, and delivered on time. Kuhlman’s service is great, and its people bend over backward to help us grow.”

Metzinger also gets Symons concrete stamping and forming systems and materials through Kuhlman.

Metzinger founded a concrete-finishing business, Metzco Co. Home Services, and five years ago also opened Everything Concrete, specializing in stamped and stained concrete driveways.

“The Symons Corp. sponsored me at their concrete school in Texas, and I’ll send my key people again this year to learn the newest techniques,” he says. “We wouldn’t be where we are today without Symons and Kuhlman.”

Since bricklayer Adam Kuhlman entered the building supply business in 1901, his company has been customer-driven. Kuhlman combines history’s lessons with its philosophy for future growth and service to make its customers successful.
