Abbey Matuszak is on a mission to transform blank spaces such as basements, garages, patios and more into beautiful, functional areas for local families’ homes. Her business, GFC Concrete Coatings, is doing just that.
GFC provides eight unique application styles, each serving a distinct purpose in preserving and enhancing concrete surfaces. These coatings act as both guardians and enhancers, addressing the challenges that concrete encounters over time. From dust and deterioration to the corrosive impact of water and road salt, GFC's coatings establish an impermeable shield, significantly prolonging the lifespan of concrete slabs. These coatings are resistant to chemicals, repelling substances like oil, gas and dirt that could otherwise blemish the surface.
Abbey shares about the process, “I love taking a blank space and making it beautiful.”
The Full Flake application, widely embraced for garages, is complemented by options like Mica Enhanced and Marbled/Stone Flake, offering distinctive aesthetics. Mica Stone, with its reflective properties, adds a touch of glamour, while Stone Marbled Flake provides a natural appearance, ideal for exterior applications such as a patio. The Metallic application, reserved for upscale spaces such as finished basements, serves as a captivating conversation piece, transforming ordinary areas into extraordinary showcases.
GFC's commitment to comprehensive transformations extends beyond coatings. Recognizing the need for holistic solutions, the company introduced garage cabinets tailored to the garage environment. Elevated six inches off the floor and featuring one-inch shelves for added strength, these cabinets with sliding doors become a practical favorite for garages, ensuring easy access even in shared spaces with vehicles.
The guest experience at GFC is meticulously curated. The client journey includes on-site estimates, guided by experienced sales representatives who bring samples and years of expertise to the table.
"We had a great experience with GFC. They were very responsive and professional. Their crews were awesome and made our floors look amazing," shares client M. Hiatt.
In a dynamic market where customer preferences evolve rapidly, GFC's versatility shines. They adapt coatings to cater to the diverse needs of both residential and commercial spaces, recognizing the unique requirements of their clientele. The innovative character of GFC extends beyond aesthetics; they transform concrete canvases into functional works of art.
