One Stop Shopping, I have heard it most of my life and I was interested in when and where that phrase came about. It has of coarse become one of the phrases large retail companies and wholesale companies use today. So I did some Goggling and
found no specific time or company that “coined” the phrase. But I did find that it has been used since the 1930’s. And use extensively from the 1980’s when deparment stores became popular. Today it seems there are specialty stores or businesses using that phrase for their specific services or sales, although we at Colonial Floor and Stone Care have not, we can certainly be considered the “one stop shopping” for our specialty: all aspects of natural Stone Care.
Concrete, usually not seen as a natural stone, is really comprised of all natural materials, including stone as aggregate to increase strength. Portland cement, which is like the glue to hold the mixture together and harden into a formative material and surface that has been used in building for centuries. Now, as techniques and decorative design elements are being developed and used with concrete, Colonial Floor and Stone Care continues to follow and not only repair and clean and polish concrete we are all use to in our garages and patios, but also to do decorative elements. Today, with acid staining, staining, stamping and dry cutting plain gray concrete can be transformed into a beautiful durable floor. We are proud that Colonial Floor and Stone Care can change your plain concrete foundation floor into a beautiful, durable and eco friendly flooring. That decorative concretecan be a easy transition to other stone flooring such as marble or granite tile and Terrazzo.
The other thing in common we have with the whole sale and retail stores is that most of those stores use decorative concrete to mimic high end stores with a marble tile look, to the rustic loft look of aged and stained stone.
So if you need help with any Natural Stone, be it concrete, Terrazzo, Marble, Granite or Mexican and Cuban tiles floors, Colonial Floor and Stone Care can meet all your needs. We have been in business for over 20 years, and take pride of all our work.
