The Art and Science of Decorative Concrete
When you say concrete to most folks, they think of a parking garage, a sidewalk, a barren stretch of highway, or perhaps an overpass on the interstate. Some might even think of the early slabs of concrete countertops, that certainly had some different coloration, but were prone to cracking, so heavy that standard cabinets had to be reinforced, and still looked like, well, concrete.   As you can see, anything is possible! And KreteKraft, LLC is a Colorado women owned business.
  A KreteKraft concrete countertop doesn't look like the old concrete countertops, doesn't perform like the old concrete countertops, and doesn't cost like the old concrete countertops. A lot has been learned about cementious materials, but little of that technology has found it's way into the decorative concrete space, until now. This is now the domain of the Artisan, equipped with the latest technologies, placement processes, color palattes, textures, and finishes.   Here are examples of an Agate style that is part of a coffee table and end table set. Notice the bright colors, depth and warmth. Photos don't do these justice... KreteKraft will work with you, your designer, architect, and mother-in-law to design the perfect blend of style, colors, and general feel in the space. Kitchens, baths, even cabinets! Each client will have an example presented for final approval prior to beginning the project. "If you could wave your magic wand, and have exactly the countertop of your dreams, what does that look like?" That's where we'll start...

Hard Economic Times
These are tough times for many people, and doing more with what you have is at an all time premium. We understand that, and in many cases place your new beautiful counterop over the existing countertop! This saves time, is easier on the environment, and SAVES YOU MONEY. KreteKraft designs are NOT more expensive than other options such as granite, marble, or even tile. A million dollar look for less is what makes a KreteKraft project so compelling and easy to justify, even on a budget that's less than a government bailout.
The Artisan Approach
KreteKraft founder Julie Sheppard believes that form follows function, but function does not mean one must sacrifice beauty in the bargain. A good eye for color, interior design, and yes function is what she brings to your home. So whether it's your kitchen, bath, or backyard that needs an upgrade, you can be assured of outstanding results that add real value, and are built to last. Many years of concrete experience as well as outstanding artistic flair is the 'secret sauce' with KreteKraft. Textured Copper Finish

The Greener Alternative
Some really beautiful materials are used in high end homes, marble for example, from such places as Italy, Brazil, and Asia. But the cost of shipping, not only in terms of dollars, but in terms of environmental impact is significant. If you could get the beauty, without the negative global impact, wouldn't you prefer to do so? We will show you pictures of actual marble, granite, and other materials to help you decide on the look and feel of your home. We will then create sample boards to show you exactly what your finish result will look and feel like. You can be assured that while you are enjoying the warmth and beauty of your new look for many years to come, you didn't contribute selfishly to the global issues that face us to acquire it.
