Testimonials (just a few)


After consideration of several companies specializing in concrete staining and etching treatments, we selected Concrete ColorScapes to perform the final treatment for our recently completed patio room project. After our first meeting with owner Brad Olmsted, it became clear that this form of artistic expression was his passion. Working with Brad, we selected a design pattern that offered the effect of traditional tile. Once a design foundation was established, we collaborated with Brad to personalize the basic design, transforming the final design into a truly unique presentation.
The entire process was very positive. At every decision point, Brad made the extra effort to explore alternatives and to promote collaboration from start to finish. The cost estimate was exactly what we paid. The time schedule estimate was exactly what Brad promised. This was a very welcomed change from past home upgrade and remodeling experiences.
We are very pleased with the quality of the final results. Many of our guests believe that they are walking on a rich, custom tile installation and are shocked to learn that it is available for a fraction of the cost of tile. We strongly endorse and recommend Concrete ColorScapes as a concrete surface treatment solution.

I contacted Concrete Colorscapes in March 2009 regarding an idea I had for my husband's 50th birthday gift. I wanted to surprise him by having his motorcycle/car club logo stained & engraved in the floor of his garage. I worked with Brad Olmsted at Concrete Colorscapes who very efficiently handled all of the details beginning with his original artwork for the logo, the development of the custom template, layout and all other steps essential for the completion of the job. The finished result is fantastic and was the perfect birthday gift for my husband. This decorative concrete work of art is now the focal point of the garage and a great conversation piece for everyone who visits.

As an interior designer for over thirty years I am always looking for something fresh, new and different. I contracted Brad Olmsted of Concrete Colorscapes to stain and etch (engrave) a medallion in the wet bar area of Sproul Construction Company's latest model home in the Stonebridge Addition. I am very impressed with Brad's work and highly recommend the services that Concrete Colorscapes has to offer. Most importantly, Brad represents himself in a business-like and professional manner both on the project site as well as with clients. The concept of engraving artwork into stained concrete is incredible. Concrete Colorscapes' design and quality work in this model home for the Wichita Area Builders Association Spring Parade of Homes was very well received.

Concrete Colorscapes recently completed a 525 sq. foot cement staining in my basement. It had a lot of carpet glue and was simply a mess. Now, it is a beautiful floor that requires nothing more than a little cleaning now and then.
Mr. Olmsted started the job on time and ended on time. He was extremely patient with my many questions and gave a thorough detail of each step of the process. I am very happy with the end product and would recommend this type of flooring and most certainly recommend Concrete Colorscapes.

Concrete Colorscapes did a wonderful job staining the concrete floor of our home office. Brad performed business tasks with professionalism and integrity and was extremely knowledgeable in executing the artistry of concrete staining; his much appreciated persistence in dealing with a stubborn glue removal challenge definitely paid off in the end. Working with Brad was a pleasure and the end product is a modern, beautiful and functional floor, exactly as we wanted.

Brad did an excellent and professional job from start to finish. I am totally thrilled with the way my floors turned out! The concrete area between my bar area and family room was a big concern since the existing concrete had an ugly patch job. The engraving hid the patched area and is a wonderful addition to the room and compliments my stone wall and bar. The area behind the bar was quite a chore because there was so much glue. It turned out great! I give Brad/Concrete Colorscapes the highest recommendation for any concrete staining and engraving project.

"At the recommendation of a friend, also a concrete materials professional, I contacted Brad with Concrete Colorscapes. We needed repair work on a damaged decorative concrete floor at a home we have recently listed. The damage was extensive and other repair attempts had failed. Brad was prompt, knowledgeable, and the work performed exceeded our expectations."

"Brad, I just wanted to tell you... the floor looks AMAZING! It is a far cry from where we started, and I am soooo pleased with the results. I can only imagine how happy the new buyers will be. Thank you for taking the extra steps necessary to repair the floor. I think it looks fantastic!!! If we ever do any decorative concrete, we will look forward to working with you again!"

Brad, you did such a great job on the floor! We love the color and the sheen.The design is just what we wanted. I am impressed with the work you did on the design as it passed over the expansion joint. I know the two floors are not at the same level, but you made it continuous. Our granddaughter has made several laps around the floor on her trike, so we know it is durable. Thanks again for a great job!

Stellar work! Extremely down to earth.Trustworthy, reliable, integrous, friendly, hard working and efficient. These are just a few of the words we would describe Brad (Concrete Colorscapes) and the work that was done on our basement floor. We will enjoy it for years and years to come. Highly recommend to friends, family, and others!

Brad is a professional and you will find this to be true in all aspects of your project. He is well spoken, and highly attentive to customer satisfaction. The finished product is impeccable and it turned out that way because of his detail oriented work style. He carefully prepared the surface and did not compromise quality to gain profitability. Before starting, he made me aware of all steps in the process, which made me comfortable knowing he was an expert in the trade.
Cole M. Cheney, KS.
Brad did an absolutely wonderful job on our basement floors. It was a difficult job for him due to previously damaged stained concrete. However, he really solved the problem and made the floors look brand new again. He was professional, reasonably priced, and trustworthy. I would recommend him to anyone wanting the best quality work.
Jennifer P. Derby, KS.
We couldn't have been more pleased with the finished product on our patio and have had constant compliments on it. As viewed from our busy neighborhood street, the patio looks so much better than it did as regular gray concrete. We would recommend Concrete Colorscapes in a heartbeat not only due to our satisfaction with the end product but also because of Brad's display of great patience and respect in dealing with the wildlife nesting above the concrete. What a mess those barn swallows were!
Kari M. Wichita, KS.
We actually contacted Brad because of the testimonials that his customers had given him so it only seems fitting that we do the same. When we met Brad in person there was no question that he was the man for the job. Brad brought with him skill, professionalism, fun, problem solving abilities and most importantly creativity! He walked us through the process of selecting the color based on the room size, its lighting and use. All the while making sure that the choice of staining our floors was the choice for us. During the renovation he was very patient obtaining exactly the right shade and character we had envisioned. We love our new gym floor, Thanks Brad!

I am absolutely thrilled with Brad's work. His professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail is most impressive. Single-handedly, he transformed my sunroom floor--from a carpeted concrete slab that can only be described as an eye sore to an eye catching work of art that is as functional as it is beautiful. I appreciated not only his artistic sensibilities and discerning eye but his business sense and work ethic. He certainly earned my highest recommendation and respect!

I am a single female and had a planned budget for my basement. I knew I didn't want carpet as I have pets and I'd always liked the Old World look of stained concrete. It reminds me of an old wine cellar floor.
Unfortunately, I spent more time researching the product than I did the professional (I went with the less expensive, inexperienced guy). Within the first squirt of the stain, I knew I'd be cleaning up a disaster! It was horrid. Within 24 hours I contacted Brad Olmsted, owner of Concrete Colorscapes, to salvage what I thought was ruined. Brad was extremely knowledge about his trade and offered to take a look. Within the week, at night, and after full days on other projects,he completed the job for a more than fair price. The most important part of this type of project is preparing the concrete as well as the areas around it and it's not easy. Not only was Brad completely professional, the floor looks great! Hire the expert!

Brad,
Thanks for all your hard work. I think the floor turned out great! You were great to work with. I feel you gave us the right balance of "listening to your customer" and "expert advice". I enjoyed the entire process. If I ever know anyone in need of decorative concrete work I will refer them to you. Thanks again.
Danielle Wichita, KS.
I recently had Brad do the patio slab at my house- it turned out beautifully and I will enjoy it many years. It updates the whole look because it matches my wood Pergola – I recently bought new cushions for the patio chairs and I can’t wait until spring to go out and enjoy it!
D. Gilbert, Valley Center, KS.

We are so happy and thankful that he was able to come into our home. His pleasant personality and artistic talent are what makes a difference. We highly recommend Brad to transform your home!!!
