Laminate v. CONCRETE Floors
Morning All:
I found myself in a discussion with a contractor friend talking flooring in my latest acquisition. We were in the local grocery store (Ralphs-out here in southern California). . .
. . .and the ah haaaa moment occurs.
I look down and ask my learned contractor friend, "what is this?" He replies, concrete. Polished concrete.
I asked him, where does the color come from, he replies stain and a clear coat.
So my BP brothers and sisters. . .
. . . rip out that carpet, and forget tile, and $2,000 of expensive laminate. Why not just take the concrete foundation and have a company come in and color and lay a clear coat of some kind over it?
Now let the tenants try and EAT that up!
Am I missing something?
Turning this over to wiser minds than I, what are your thots?
Saturday blessings,
Tevis
