Today we’d like to introduce you to Thomas Arrison.
Thomas, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
We are a family owned business. Three brothers. We started our business in 1991. We mostly do commercial work, but we still do a little residential. We install epoxy coatings in warehouses, retail spaces, and industrial buildings. We specialize in being able to remove any type of flooring. We also polish concrete slabs, and stain and seal.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It has been anything but smooth. We had a very rough time during the recession. But by being diversified in many types of flooring, we made it through.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Extreme Decorative Concrete – what should we know?
We install every type of flooring, we specialize in flooring removal, we have the equipment to remove and prep for any flooring product. We are known for doing exactly what we say we will do and always finish on time and on schedule. Most proud of the fact that we’re a small company with large company capabilities. We set ourselves apart by being professional and going above and beyond the customers’ expectations.
Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
We’ve had many friends and family. We have clients that have helped us during slow periods.
