Salt Coast Consulting

This home was in need of something , it had a lot of charm and nice open floor plan . Some black and tan  field stone added some character to the entrance of the kitchen and living room .                                                 We used a 60 / 40 % blend of black vs. tan .

New restaurant at the Phoenix Airport Sheraton had plans to have a fireplace built for the patio seating area. After we started building this thing we realized we might be building one of the largest fireplaces in the valley . Rustic Ledge stone Sequoia is being used to cover the block. Stone is lightly grouted and the fire brick is installed. After a thorough wash down to remove dust, a clear concrete sealer is applied to the hearth and concrete caps.

                This area was hard to utilize till we poured concrete and now made it functional A  felt expansion strip was placed along the stem wall of the house to allow expansion and contraction of the concrete due to temperature change.

This Tuscan fireplace was built using concrete block . We had a gas line ran to the fireplace with a key insert on the side to turn the unit off and on . We also built two benches on each side with columns at the ends which have irrigation lines ran through for the planters on top of the columns. Then we installed a stone veneer on the columns and face of fireplace . We also used big slabs of flagstone for the top of the benches and hearth.

This customer had a pool with a deck that was cracked and the cool decking was chipping all over . The back yard was in much need of a make over, We added a raised patio with a sitting wall , we removed all de-laminating cool deck and resurfaced the pool area with a high strength overlay . A medium texture was used to prevent slipping . Then the surface was stained a Mocha brown . We finished this project by stucco and painting the property walls and some landscaping .

This customer wanted a wall and column built to add some privacy and a courtyard feel . We also installed a rustic ledge stone veneer with beveled wall caps to finish it off .

 The front walkway , courtyard and back patio had a concrete paint that the bond failed and peeled all over.  We had to use a diamond grinder to grind the surface and remove the paint . Then pressure washed the surface to clean it free from grime and debris.  We used a high strength cement overlay to  give this walkway a unique flagstone design. Two tones of brown were used then a light spray of black pigment was added to give the stone a natural aged look. The courtyard was a big space and needed something to break-up the pattern so we added a  mosaic piece near the front door . It really set off the curb appeal of this hill side home.
