Cascade Concrete Coatings: A Family-Owned Business Bringing Integrity and Innovation to Concrete Coatings

 

When it comes to choosing the right concrete coatings for your home, you want a company that not only provides top-tier products but also takes the time to educate and guide you through the process. Cascade Concrete Coatings is one such company. A family-owned business rooted right here in the Pacific Northwest, Cascade Concrete Coatings has been transforming concrete surfaces across the region with integrity, expertise, and a commitment to quality.

 

 A Family Business with Local Roots

 

What sets Cascade Concrete Coatings apart from other businesses in the industry is the deep connection the owners have with their community. Sheldon and Nicole grew up in the PNW, and like many homeowners, they wanted a product that would stand the test of time and enhance the beauty of their own homes. They understand the importance of family and community, which is why Cascade Concrete Coatings isn’t just about installing coatings – it’s about building lasting relationships with their clients, who they view as neighbors. 

 

As a family business, their values are deeply rooted in transparency, trust, and customer care. Their mission isn’t simply to install floors but to educate homeowners and empower them to make the most informed decisions for their properties. They believe that integrity should be the foundation of every interaction, and that’s why they go above and beyond to ensure that every client understands the coatings they’re getting and how to make the best choices for their needs.

 

A Journey from the Ground Up

 

The journey of Cascade Concrete Coatings began with Sheldon and Nicole, like many homeowners, they had never even heard of Polyaspartic/Polyurea coatings until Sheldon started working as an installer years ago. As he gained experience, Sheldon began to realize that there was a significant gap in the industry: homeowners were often overwhelmed by the choices available to them and, in many cases, didn’t have access to the right information to make a truly informed decision.

 

This realization sparked a desire to find a better solution. After years of hands-on experience in the industry, Sheldon saw firsthand how many coatings products on the market fell short of expectations. Worse yet, many were not backed by solid technical data or offered the level of performance homeowners were promised. This led to a pivotal decision: Cascade Concrete Coatings would not only offer top-of-the-line products but would also become a resource for homeowners who wanted to know more about concrete coatings, the different options available, and what to look out for when choosing the best solution for their homes.

 

The Importance of Education: Helping Homeowners Make the Right Choice

 

When it comes to concrete coatings, many homeowners have only heard of epoxy, which has been the standard for many years. While epoxy can be effective, it has its limitations. Polyaspartic/Polyurea coatings, on the other hand, are much more durable, resistant to UV light, and offer faster curing times, which is why they are becoming the preferred choice for many homeowners.

 

However, understanding the differences between epoxy, Polyaspartic, and Polyurea can be tricky. This is where Cascade Concrete Coatings excels. Their team is dedicated to providing clear, easy-to-understand information about the different types of coatings available, including their pros and cons, to help homeowners make the right choice for their needs. Whether you’re upgrading your garage floor, patio, or driveway, Cascade Concrete Coatings wants to make sure you’re armed with the knowledge you need to choose the best product for your specific situation.

 

Why Cascade Concrete Coatings Chooses Penntek: The Best of the Best

 

As the owners at Cascade Concrete Coatings delved deeper into the world of concrete coatings, they quickly realized that not all products are created equal. They saw how many coatings on the market failed to live up to their promises, and how difficult it was to access reliable technical data for these products. After extensive research, it became clear that the best option available was Penntek, a leader in Polyaspartic/Polyurea coatings.

 

What makes Penntek stand out from the competition? For one, they have a unique approach to product testing. Penntek is the only manufacturer that employs four in-house chemists to test both their own products and those of their competitors. This rigorous testing ensures that Penntek's coatings meet the highest standards for quality and performance.

 

Another key factor is Penntek’s solids content – their Polyaspartic/Polyurea coatings have the highest solids content on the market, coming in at a 99.5% solids rate. This means that Penntek’s coatings are thicker, more durable, and more resistant to wear and tear compared to many competitors, who often use solvents like acetone to reduce the cost of their products. These solvents evaporate during the curing process, resulting in a thinner, less durable coating. With Penntek, you get a coating that will last longer, perform better, and provide superior protection for your concrete surfaces.

 

As a proud Penntek dealer, Cascade Concrete Coatings can offer clients the peace of mind that comes with a lifetime warranty backed by the manufacturer. This partnership allows them to provide the highest-quality Polyaspartic/Polyurea coatings available while ensuring that every project is completed to the highest standards.

 

Expertise You Can Trust

 

When you choose Cascade Concrete Coatings, you’re not just getting a product – you’re getting a team of experts who are committed to delivering the best results. The entire team at Cascade Concrete Coatings underwent specialized trainingand certification at Penntek’s manufacturing facility to ensure they have the knowledge and skills to install these premium coatings with precision and care.

 

This training isn’t just about learning how to apply the product – it’s about understanding the science behind it, the best practices for installation, and how to troubleshoot any potential issues. By investing in this level of expertise, Cascade Concrete Coatings ensures that every project is completed to the highest standard, with results that last.

 

A Customer-Centered Approach

 

One of the core values of Cascade Concrete Coatings is their commitment to customer service. They treat every project as an opportunity to build trust with their clients. Their approach is simple: they treat every customer like a neighbor. This means being upfront, transparent, and always striving to deliver the best possible service.
