A stylish living room or bathroom is so last year – or maybe it’s just time to spread the flair beyond the usual areas in your home. In Minnesota, when it comes to family get-togethers or lounging at home, if it’s over 50 degrees, we’re taking the party outside. When we’re storing our beloved tools or finally setting up that dreamy man cave, we’re doing it right, or we’re not doing it at all. That’s why a polished, durable, and high-quality space – crafted by Boll Custom Concrete for both indoor and outdoor living – isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s essential.
Jesse Boll, owner of Boll Custom Concrete, has worked in the industry for over 20 years. When his aspirations led him to start his own business, he appreciated the freedom it gave him to focus on what mattered most: offering personalized service and building a company that reflects his values. “It’s important to me that everyone I work with gets treated with respect and that all customers receive a high-quality finished product,” Jesse shares. As a hands-on professional, he believes that quality is more important than quantity, and if you ask around, his customers see it reflected in every detail of his work.
When you sign on with his team, a team Jesse holds to high standards through a rigorous hiring process, you’ll find him leading the charge at your residence, ensuring everything meets his meticulous expectations. “To begin the process, I meet the customer on location to discuss their vision as well as offer advice and address any concerns they may have.” Jesse’s team will then take measurements, assist with color and stamp design (there are 50 colors and 29 stamp designs to choose from, so selecting your favorites will be a fun challenge!), and provide an estimate. If you’re on a budget, Jesse emphasizes that it’s perfectly feasible to achieve quality and sustainability without additional enhancements. “Not every outdoor living space or remodel has to be extravagant. Most of our projects are being done by everyday families in everyday neighborhoods.”
Boll Custom Concrete specializes in flatwork–patios, driveways, garages, shed floors, steps, basements, and more. And if you think it’s “just concrete,” you’d be very wrong. “Choosing colors and stamping finishes is where homeowners can really weave their style into the project.” Stamping creates a very specific texture, pattern, or visual effect on the surface of the concrete and, depending on your choice, you can create the look of wood, slate, granite, brick, and so much more.
“The combinations of color and stamping create endless outcomes.” According to Jesse, right now, many families are choosing stamped concrete for their patios and colored concrete for their driveways. Picture framing – when the finish of the outer edges is different than the main surface – and broom finish – when a broom is dragged across the surface, creating fine lines and texture – are what customers are choosing for their entryways, sidewalks, and gathering places for family and friends.
Not only does Boll Custom Concrete specialize in expert concrete work that combines precision and flawless style, but they also specialize in attention to detail, exceeding expectations, and a deep passion for their customers and their work.
“It’s invigorating to create a product that’s new and unique every time, and inspiring to see homeowners excited and eager for their new space, particularly when it comes to outdoor living spaces.” Jesse loves that each homeowner has a specific vision unique to their lifestyle and is committed to ensuring there’s a design to meet everyone’s needs, no matter what chapter of life they’re in.
“It’s an honor to help families see their vision come to life.” Underscoring that great concrete is always in style, just like the dedicated people behind the work.
