First Due Concrete Staining

Anthony and his crew did an amazing job! We replaced old carpet with epoxy  and it gave our house a much needed facelift and a unique, modern feel. Anthony was prompt to respond, he was patient- answering all of our questions thoroughly, and he was very personable. He was communicative, sending us updates throughout the process. His work was efficient and the materials he uses are high quality. When the floors were finished, moving back into the space was seamless; there was very minimal dust or clean up needed. It has been a couple of months and I am still finding myself marveling at the floors.

A few things to consider-

These floors have been so easy to clean!

Our house has stayed cooler and we've actually seen a significant decrease in our electricity bill.

First Due offers removal of old flooring. If you do your own clean out of old flooring/carpeting, First Due does not provide a haul-away service for the trash (I recommend Code 3 Junk Removal code3junkremoval.com another awesome first responder owned and operated business).

The floors are slick! If you have pets, consider area rugs. Although it is a shame to have to cover even a little of these stunning floors! (Alternatively- We bought our senior dog grippy socks that work great).

BONUS- this company is first responder owned and operated!

In case you were curious- epoxy color for our floors: Perfect Storm (Brand-Cohills pro series metal essence metallics)

Anthony is amazing. We remodeled our 1957 home and really wanted finished concrete floors. We moved some walls around, pulled up the tile and realized there was terrazzo tile underneath, imbedded in the slab! We decided to fill and patch the space ourselves and asked Anthony if he could epoxy over the fill. He walked us through the possible issues and his approach and was very positive. We were working around a lot of schedules with our cabinets and counters and he was able to devote time to our project even with the holidays looming and his regular job. We asked for a platinum gray with a matte finish and I could not be happier with our floors. It has been nearly five months now and they are holding up so well with our 3 kids, 3 dogs, and 3 cats! Exactly what we wanted and even better than we hoped.

My husband and I had thought about doing this for years, and finally found Anthony from First Due Concrete Staining.
He explained everything, to a T and what was going to happen.
We chose a color and then we went (per Anthony's recommendation) and looked at a color sample at Cohills to be sure the original color we had chosen was what we really wanted.
Seeing the actual color versus the color on the sheet was good because we changed our mind. I highly recommend you seeing the color up front and personal.
We did most of the prep ourselves in removing the existing tile, carpet and linoleum in the three rooms we were getting done. (It's really was not that hard).
Anthony came in the prep is the longest which he fully explained to us.
And I hear you say what about the dust?
There is little to no dust which I was totally amazed about.
So this is the end results which we are absolutely thrilled with couldn't ask for a better finished product.
And how to clean the floors? Anthony recommended either a microfiber brush or a swiffer sweeper so this also cuts down on the amount of chemicals for cleaning of the floor's .
And Anthony stands by his work before during and after.

Big thank you to Anthony for doing such a great job at my house. I had Anthony reseal a concrete BBQ countertop, seal some pavers in my backyard, & epoxy my garage. A+ job all around and very happy with the result. Anthony is honest, upfront, pays close attention to detail, & keeps you informed throughout the process. I highly recommend Anthony for any concrete job you need done!

Anthony did an amazing job on our kitchen floors. He was very patient while I tried to figure out the colors I wanted to use. He is truly a master of his craft. The floors surpassed my expectations in every way. I would give him 10 stars if I could.

Anthony was wonderful to work with for our concrete project.  He took the time to explain the various options staining vs epoxy; matte vs gloss and the pros and cons of each. He was punctual, thorough, conscientious and went above and beyond our expectations.  Our metallic epoxy is stunning and each room has its own unique look.  If you are considering a concrete flooring, First Due is an excellent choice.

So impressed with Anthony's work. He just finished up our three bedroom project and the floors turned out exactly as we had hoped they would. A metallic epoxy, subtly done without too many extravagant swirls and craters, in a neutral light grey color. The price was definitely right and Anthony's workmanship and professionalism were above and beyond our expectations. If you want 5-Star service from start to finish and 5-Star quality, I would highly recommend Anthony and First Due Concrete Staining!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Anthony is respectful, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, very responsive and does whatever it takes to get the job done on-time and in the highest quality.  You may have to wait until his schedule opens up as he is a one man show and very busy.  I can tell you sincerely that he is well worth any wait that you will have.  Have full confidence that Anthony will give you a fair price for an exceptional job well done.

I got 3 bids on epoxying our garage floor before finally choosing Anthony, and we couldn't be happier!  He gave us a huge selection of colors and paint chips, and offered helpful advice when asked.  We had to wait a few weeks for Anthony's schedule to open, but he was excellent in communicating and showed up on time, every time. Anthony is meticulous about his work and treats each job like it's his own home.  We highly recommend First Due!

This guy has Great communication, through the month before we started the renovation.  He contacted us throughout and was gracious even though we decided to go with tile.  we would use him in the future!

Small locally owned and operated business.  The owner/operator, Anthony, is a firefighter and is extremely knowledgable and experienced.  I removed all the tile and carpet in my house and had Anthony grind, polish, stain and seal the concrete sub floor.  Simply put, I could not be happier with the job as a whole, and of course the final product (check the pics)!

Pricing is cheap, well below local and national averages, and for the amount of time, effort, focus, and detailed work he administers, you soon realize you're getting nothing short of a freakin steal!

The other nice thing about this company, (and I shopped around a lot) is that Anthony is always available via phone or email, very patient, and just really customer satisfaction focused.  This is something rarely found in companies anymore, let alone contractors.  

Anthony takes a diary of pictures throughout the process too and emails you them with updates for your records.  That was a fun bonus!  

Couldn't be happier, I highly recommend!  It's obvious Anthony loves what he does, and truly cares about the results, and your happiness with the job.

We relocated to AZ recently and bought a new house.  Immediately we wanted to change the carpets to something much more durable (2 kids and 1 dog).  I knew I wanted the metallic epoxy floors, but knew nothing of the process or product.  I found Anthony's business on yelp and decided to move forward based on the reviews.  I am SO GLAD that I did.  Anthony was beyond amazing, explaining the whole process and describing the products.  I went back and forth a few times trying to make my mind up on color and finish, and he was more than patient waiting for me to decide and even offered input wherever he could.  Even after we had a plan in place, I added a few hundred sq ft to the order very last minute, and Anthony didn't miss a beat having to secure additional product.  He is a perfectionist in the best way possible, ensuring that the best work is done even when I couldn't notice a difference. And the floors, they are a WORK OF ART.  Everyone that visits raves about the floors, they are stunning.  Anthony even came by recently to do a touch up where he noticed a nick. I HIGHLY recommend anyone who is on the fence to explore epoxy floors for a residence and to use Anthony for the service.

Anthony stained the concrete floors of my 1,700 square foot house. I originally planned to stain the floors myself, but when I discovered black mastic that needed to be removed first, I called Anthony. He explained the entire process, from grinding, staining, neutralizing, sealing, and waxing. He kept me informed throughout the entire process, and I'm very happy with the result. I highly recommend First Due Concrete Staining.

Anthony is very professional and efficient. The price was very affordable and I am extremely happy with my floor. I highly recommend First Due Concrete Staining!

Anthony was an absolute godsend to my family.  We have 3 dogs, 3 cats, and a toddler.  One of our cats refuses to use the litter box, so obviously, our house smelled horrible and the carpeting was soaked in cat urine...I was ready to either get rid of the cat (my husband's baby) or sell our house.  I started researching acid staining for concrete and looking up reviews for people who did this type of work.  After seeing Anthony's Yelp reviews I called him and he came over to assess the situation.  He was completely forthright and honest, telling us that if we pulled up the carpet and acid stained the concrete, we would have no idea what the final product would look like due to the urine being absorbed by the porous concrete foundation (basically it would react differently with the solution than a floor that had not come into contact with pet urine).  I was heartbroken, until he told us about another option...metallic epoxies.  He showed us some pictures of the product and it looked beautiful; there were also so many colors to choose from!  We decided on a color called Cappuccino.  Anthony did a fantastic job; his work is top notch and he is professional, knowledgeable, and very, very affordable.  All of our neighbors cannot believe how gorgeous our floors are, and a huge bonus is that they are soooooooo low maintenance!  A HUGE shout-out to First Due for making my house feel like a home again!

We cannot begin to say enough great things about Anthony! First off - he is as professional, knowledgable, helpful, and kind as it gets. Secondly, he is extremely detail orientated and takes the time to explain what he has done every day and shares updates and pictures along the way! He went above and beyond in every way - for example, accepting any packages that came to our door or even helping us move furniture back that was not part of his responsibility. He did it to help us and it made a big difference. Also, because of his demeanor and professionalism, we could not have felt more comfortable with him in our house while we were gone for a few days, as he is very trustworthy. Most importantly - our floors turned out great!!! Better than we could have ever imagined. He did a fantastic job and got the job done in great time! If you are in need of someone to help with your floors, Anthony is your guy.
