My husband and I started Cross Creek Concrete Coatings about 2.5 years ago. Starting a business was a bit of a coming home step for us. We met in Gainesville while attending UF in the late 1990’s. A job took us to a Jacksonville and then to Bluffton, SC. Our next-door neighbor started a concrete coating, and he asked me to come listen to the marketing information. That day changed my career course, and I went from being a stay-at-home mom to a salesperson with no prior sales experience. And I loved it. I especially loved meeting clients and solving their problems.
Post covid, my husband was ready for a career change. We decided to come back to Florida, and we started our own concrete coating company and named it Cross Creek Concrete Coatings. We are about 2.5 years into our own venture. Neither of us came from a business background, but we watched our neighbor run his company and we formulated what worked and what could be improved.
What makes Cross Creek Concrete Coatings different is twofold. We expertly apply the best quality of concrete coatings with the longest warranty AND we offer superior customer service. We come from a strong customer focused past and based the foundation of our company on that experience. You are buying more than a coating; you are buying us and our commitment to your happiness with the entire process. We take immense gratification is transforming a once ugly concrete patio into a place of beauty and durability that will last for years and years.
In the past year we have keyed in on focused marketing and earning outstanding Google reviews. Word of mouth and referrals are the strongest form of advertising for us, and we strive to provide a service that clients want to share with their friend, family and neighbors.
I was invited to my first GAWN meeting in August by Barbara Miller. Being in a male dominated market for the last six years, it was extremely refreshing to be surrounded by woman all focused on building relationships, succeeding in their businesses and helping others succeed. I can easily say that GAWN has been an incredible networking opportunity so far.
