NEW
PUBLICATION
DCC members are currently working on The Contractor's Guide
to Quality Decorative Concrete. An earlier publication, The
Contractor's Guide to Quality Concrete Construction, has long
been a best seller in ASCC's bookstore. The decorative version
will have chapters covering: spray overlays, stamped overlays,
stamped concrete, stenciled concrete, acid staining, water-based
staining, countertops, and engraving' The new guide will provide
insight into proven construction practices that, when properly
executed, will produce quality decorative concrete.
Doug Bannister's company offers training
classes on a variety of decorative techniques. "We thought
about starting a beginner's class," says Bannister, "but
finally determined that working with
experienced concrete contractors was a better fit for us.
The idea of inexperienced people doing decorative work is
a bit scary."
The concrete
countertop at Mary Tuttle's Flowers, Chesterfield, MO,
was custom-formed and cast-in-place by Ahal Contracting
Co., Inc.

Bannister believes that the DCC's affiliation
with ASCC enhances credibility for the decorative organization.
In addition to working to improve their own companies, ASCC
members work as a body to advance the use and quality of conventional
concrete. The ASCC mission is straight forward: "To enhance
the capabilities of those who build with concrete." "There's
no better way to elevate the entire industry than to work
together," says Bannister. "We all make each other
better contractors."
Companies wishing to join the
DCC must be members in good standing of the ASCC. For information
