What We Do

Every Surface, Hand-Finished

Four finish families cover the work — interior microcement, stamped resurfacing, exterior resurfacing, and new decorative concrete. Each is built on a proven system we've refined for Middle Tennessee's climate. From a single room to a whole-home installation.

Interior Floors & Walls

Interior Microcement

Velluto & Aria Systems

A hand-troweled, joint-free mineral finish for floors, walls, showers, countertops, and fireplaces — custom-tinted and sealed for daily life in homes where the finish matters as much as the function. Available hand-troweled as Velluto or spray-applied as Aria.

Exterior Resurfacing

Stamped Concrete Resurfacing

Our Rinnova System

Tired, faded, or dated stamped concrete brought back to estate-grade without the cost and mess of a tear-out. Rinnova resurfaces existing stamped patios, pool decks, and walkways with a fresh, integrally colored finish built to hold up outdoors.

Exterior Resurfacing

Exterior Concrete Resurfacing

Sabbia & Strada Systems

Premium overlays that renew pool decks, porches, patios, and driveways with a durable, slip-resistant, designer-grade surface. Sabbia, our Architectural Quartz finish, turns a worn slab into the best-looking hardscape on the property; Strada, our Structural Broom Finish, carries traffic-rated durability across driveways.

New Decorative Concrete

Concrete Construction

Stamped & Washed Finishes

New driveways, walkways, patios, and approaches poured fresh and finished to match the architecture of the home — stamped patterns and washed exposed-aggregate looks, including Top Cast and Vanderbilt finishes. Designed, managed, and warrantied by us, poured by our vetted crews.

Why Craftman

The Craftman Experience

The finish is the reason you call. The experience is the reason our clients refer us. Most contractors send a crew and check in at the end — here, the owner is on site from start to finish, because your home isn't a job site to us.

Owner on every job

Lafayette is on site for every install, every day. The person you meet at the consultation is the person finishing your floor. No project-manager handoff, no rotating crew of strangers in your home.

You hear back the same day

Every call and message gets a same-business-day response. Every time. During an install, you get daily updates and photos — so you always know exactly where your project stands.

A quote you can trust

Fixed scope, written change orders, no surprise line items between the estimate and the final invoice. We walk the space, sample the finish, and put it in writing before a bag is opened.

Climate-tested finishes

Our microcement and resurfacing systems are formulated and adjusted for Middle Tennessee's humidity and temperature swings. Finishes that look right on day one and hold up year after year.

A clean, protected home

Floor protection, dust containment, and a tidy site every evening. Affluent homeowners mention cleanliness in their reviews because it's rare — with us it's standard.

We stand behind our work

If something isn't right, we make it right. Full stop. Every project is backed by a clear, written warranty.

Who We Work With

Homes Where the Finish Detail Matters

Craftman Concrete works in homes where the finish detail matters — primary residences, second homes, and estate properties across Brentwood, Belle Meade, Forest Hills, Franklin, and Middle Tennessee. We're often the concrete craftsman on projects led by interior designers, architects, and custom builders, and we work directly with homeowners running their own renovations.

Whether the project is a custom driveway replacement, structural resurfacing, or fine interior finish, every project is led personally by Lafayette, performed by his craftsmen, and held to the same finish standard. Smaller projects — a single room, porch and patio updates, or pool deck rejuvenation — often fit into our calendar between larger installations, so don't hesitate to reach out for a focused scope.

Common Questions

Questions We Hear Most

What is microcement?

Microcement is a mineral-based finish applied by hand or spray in thin layers over existing floors, walls, showers, countertops, and fireplaces. It's seamless and joint-free, custom-tinted to your color, then sealed for daily use — a refined alternative to tile or stone without a tear-out.

Can you resurface concrete instead of replacing it?

Yes. When the slab is sound, we resurface it — Rinnova over dated stamped concrete, and Sabbia or Strada over exterior slabs like pool decks, patios, and driveways. When concrete is past saving, we pour new decorative concrete. We assess the substrate first and tell you straight which path fits.

Is your exterior resurfacing slip-resistant and safe around pools?

Yes. Sabbia, our Architectural Quartz finish, is finished smooth and comfortable underfoot while staying slip-resistant where water and bare feet meet. It's built for pool decks, patios, and porches, and it's traffic-rated enough to resurface a driveway.

What areas do you serve?

Greater Nashville and the surrounding Middle Tennessee communities — Brentwood, Belle Meade, Forest Hills, Franklin, Green Hills, Hendersonville, Nolensville, Spring Hill, and Arrington — plus homes within about 60 miles of Nashville.

Who actually does the work?

Owner Lafayette Mecham is on site for every install, every day, and has been since 2017. The person you meet at the consultation is the person finishing your surface — no project-manager handoff, no rotating crew.

How do quotes and warranties work?

Every project starts with an in-home consultation, followed by a detailed written proposal within 5–7 business days. Scope is fixed in writing, any changes are handled with written change orders, and every project is backed by a clear, written warranty.
