We received 4 bids to grind, stain and seal the concrete slab on the ground floor of our house. I was most impressed with the owner of Colors on Concrete so was happy when his was the low bid. Very professional and his concern for quality was refreshing. He was there when he said he would be and finished on schedule. The stained concrete floors look beautiful. read more

From getting an estimate to completion of the job, Marty was awesome. When my husband first called Marty for a quote, he was readily available to set up a day to come to our home that was convenient for us. He was not salesy or pushy. He asked exactly what we were thinking and offered suggestions and examples from his past jobs. After meeting with us, he emailed us a quote that evening for three possible options, depending on what we wanted and how much our budget was. He didn't push his most expensive services or products, everything was based on what we wanted to do. After several days of thinking about it (my husband likes to do his research and to compare options) we went with Marty. Marty did not pressure us at all to schedule/decide any faster. From day one to day eight, Marty was timely, friendly, informative, and hardworking. Even my dad, a 23-year Navy veteran (who likes to watch any contractor who comes over to do any work and make comments on how he would have done it or ways that it could be done faster or better) had nothing but praises for Marty. He said he's never seen a harder worker!!? It was a process, 8 days, but concrete does take time to dry, so be prepared!! But it was well worth it. Marty is a very honest and down-to-earth guy. He treats you the way he wants to be treated. We asked him about other possible future jobs and while he makes it known that it's something he can do, he never pressures you to get something done, just for the sake of booking another job. He gives you time to think about it and decide exactly what you want. The job: we had a large game room that had some plumbing work done in it, so they had to rip out a portion of our tile floors. Instead of replacing the tile, we decided to have a concrete floor in that room. We chose a brown color to complement, but not to match, our existing dark wood floors in all the other rooms. Since this room has a pool table and tons of foot traffic, including scooters, and skateboards, at times, we didn't think wood floors were feasible. We were happy with our decision. Marty did a fantastic job and the floor looks great!! Highly recommend and would not hesitate to go with Marty on future jobs. read more

See all

Marty's great. I don't know why anyone would give him a bad reference. Quickly got half-way through the job, offered good ideas that were a lot less expensive thxn my first ideas. Excellent work! read more

I originally hired Marty to do a concrete overlay and stain of the living room and entry way of my home. Maybe I should've seen in coming when he forgot about our follow up meeting, but because his portfolio seemed so good and his prices were reasonable, I decided to go ahead with him with him anyway. We agreed back in February that he would start the job in the middle of May, coinciding with my spring break to make it more the moving of the furniture more convenient A week before the job was supposed to start, I email him to confirm, and here the headaches begin: ---------- On 05/09/11, Kristina wrote: Hi Marty, Just wanted to touch bases with you to make sure that we are set to start the flooring job on May 16th. Kristina ---------- Wed, May 11, 2011 Good evening Ms Kristina, So far we are on track for Monday, the current job I am working on his had a few quirks so I may need to apply wax on Monday morning but after that I will be there. Have decided if I am doing the demo and haul away so I know if I need to bring my demo tools? Thank you for choosing us. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. Marty ------------ Thu, May 12, 2011 at 8:12 PM Hi Marty, Yes, you will be doing the demo of the entry and fireplace and carpet as discussed. Do you know around what time you'll be coming on Monday? How much was the first payment again? Kristina ------------ ***No response for several days. No emails, no phone calls. Nothing. ------------ Mon, May 16, 2011 at 1:27 PM Marty, I don't know what's going on. I've tried calling and e-mailing you with no response since 5 days ago. Please get back to me ASAP. Kristina ------------ Mon, May 16, 2011 at 10:49 PM Good evening Ms Kristina, I applogize for my lack of communication. I have no good explanation for not responding to your e-mails but my phone has been missing since Saturday so I have'nt gotten any of my calls since then. At this time I still have not found it, I believe it is in my shop somewhere, I looked for two hours this morning with no luck. All my tools for your project are loaded up in my trailor but I am still stuck on my project from last week. My client has changed direction three times since I last e-mailed you. I am currently on track to finish by Wednesday provided there are no more changes. I realize you have been on my schedule for a few months but unfortunately I have no control over a customers "artistic adjustments". I never start any new jobs until I have completed the one I am on completely, I promise to give you the same detailed attention you deserve. Thank you for your Patience in this matter. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. Marty ------------ Tue, May 17, 2011 at 6:18 PM Marty, We purposely scheduled this week because of my days off, and I have cleared out the living room according to plan. It's a little disappointing to be put on hold. Let me know when you will be starting and finishing the job at my place. (626)***-****. Kristina ------------ Wed, May 18, 2011 at 8:33 PM What's the status, Marty? ------------ Wed, May 18, 2011 at 11:13 PM Good evening Ms Tan, I understand how disappointed you must be. Unfortunately with the rain we have had the past two days I am now even father behind. The two things I have no control over is, weather/moisture and the decision process of a client. This current project I am on has run three full weeks (should have only been 1 week) due to moisture problem, moisture testing and the continued direction changes of my client. Under normal circumstances your project will take 5-6 days providing I do not run into any abnormal situations like I experienced on this job. If you are still interested in having me do your floor I can start Monday, if you would prefer not to use my services I would completely understand. Thank you for choosing us. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. Marty ------------ Fri, May 20, 2011 at 11:31 PM Good evening Ms Tan, I just wanted to appologize for all the inconvienence I have cause you and your mom. Unfortunately I still have not completed my current project. It is because of this added delay that I feel it would be best if I stepped aside from working on your project. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to bid on your project. Marty ------------ I would've appreciated it if he was upfront to begin with. I understand a project has unforeseen circumstances, but I was just strung along the whole week looking at an empty living room and waiting for a phone call (which I never got). At least he was apologetic, but it still doesn't excuse the fact that he backed out of our initial arrangement after a week-long delay. read more

Marty don't even deserve this one star. NEVER WORK WITH THIS NOT CREDIBLE MAN We are a general contractor and need to fabricate one stained concrete table in our remodeling project. We contact him and he said he want to do this job and wanna make an appointment for site visit. we meet and spend 2 hours at job-site, measure and talk about the details of this small table. He says the table need 1 month to fabricate, we agree and signed contract, issue deposit check to him. In order to speed up this process we email him the copy of the check, and ask him start to make the table. 2 weeks later, because never hear from him, I feel worried. So I write him to follow up the table status. (he don't pick up phone call, he said the only way to contact him is to write email) To my surprise, he says he never receive my check and he still not start to fabricate the table. I says if you have not received my check you should contact with me last week, rather than delay schedule. Anyway we agree to issue another new check to him and finish this project ASAP. Actually we already finish the project and the concrete table is the only item we need to install. It's not the end of this story, Marty contact with me, he says he do not interested of this project, and don't want to do it. and suddenly hang up. I work as general contractor for 10 years and never met any worker as not credible like him. He don't know how to cooperate with other and don't know what it to deliver in a timely manner. Any lesson I learn from this experience？ Never cooperate with this not credible man. read more

Marty Meewis-N.R.M-Colors on Concrete was hired in Jan 2012 to do color overlay on concrete in most of the interior in our home.He was specifically asked if his Ca. Lic.#901681,which is posted on his website,buisness cards and contract was valid.He stated that it was.We hired him to do the job.After the job was done and he was paid in full,we had some issues with the results.It has been a month and we are still unable to get him to even respond to requests for him to come out and look at his work.We have since come to find out that his Ca.Lic.[#901681] has been expired since Aug 2011. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.He is guilty of Consumer Fraud.We are consumer's and he was fraudulent is his representation of his credentials.It always pay's for itself,in frustration at least, to check out someone before they are hired to take your money. Sincerly, Bridgit read more

Marty did concrete overlay work at our house as well as some exterior work. The quality of his work was outstanding. He was meticulous, conscientious, and reliable. I recommend him very enthusiastically. read more

Called Marty for a quote for resurfacing my walkway and patio area. He properly showed up last week and took measurements and promised to send me a quote. After that there was radio silence. He did not send in a proposal, did not return my texts, emails and phone calls. A short reply stating that they do not want to do the job would have been fine. Not sure why such operators waste theirs and other peoples valuable time. read more

I can not even give this company a single star!!! I am so frustrated with Marty. Marty came up about 4 weeks ago and agreed to do a bar top for me and said he would be back the following week when we called him he never answered his phone and when we left messages he never returned our call. when I finally got ahold of Marty 2 weeks later on a Monday he agreed to come up wed at 11 am, I sat around waiting for him till 1 then I tried calling and he never answered his phone so I left ANOTHER message witch he still has not returned and every time I call him now he forwards me to voicemail, I have also emailed Marty but to no surprise he still has not got back to me. I am now set back over 3 weeks and have to find someone else to do the job witch will set me back even farther. This is very un professional and I will never use this company again or refer anyone. Horrible Horrible!!! read more

We bought an older house that has two rooms that were originally enclosed outdoor spaces with a concrete base. We hired Marty to redo them for us, and we are incredibly pleased with the outcome. Both rooms look amazing. Marty knows what he's doing and works patiently and diligently. After putting down a color in one room that ended up being not what we thought it would be Marty stepped in with some ideas and re-did both rooms so that they go beautifully together. The process therefore took a bit longer than anticipated but Marty is really dedicated to each project that he undertakes. I learned that concrete floors are not like hard-wood floors in that they are more of a canvas, and so you do have to be open minded and flexible, but if you hang in there, the outcome is worthwhile. Aside from Marty's professional skills and insights, he is very friendly and kind. After finishing the floors our kids ask every day when he'll be back. I highly recommend Marty for your concrete floor needs. read more
