Shawn Halverson, founder of Surfacing Solutions, Inc., has been involved in concrete for over 30 years—from foundations, patios, and drives to structural high rises, bridges, and subterranean. One of his favorite projects includes the boomerang ride at Knott’s Berry Farm. Currently, he is involved in decorative overlays, stamping, staining, polishing, and having the most fun with countertops, sinks and furniture pieces!

Halverson most enjoys the art aspect of the product his company has poured and molded into 1,000 of different designs over the years.  “After 30 years I can still be awed by this simple substance that starts as a barrel of rock powder and water and can be coaxed into breathtaking looks that produces ‘aahhs’ and ‘ooohs’ by its many admirers! This is what drives us at SS—seeing what new piece sparks looks of appreciation in our customers eyes!” says Halverson.

“I am happy to say that what Surfacing Solutions, Inc. is currently producing is done with the insight and execution of a very talented concrete artist, Mike Peterson, with 10 years plus in concrete research and development. The eye of the young man never ceases to amaze me, and like most artists, he is always striving for perfection!”

“We have most recently added to our team an artist of different proportion, Carol Bedolla. She specializes in everything from realistic style oil paintings to the most incredible looking faux finishes possible. We have brought her on board to give our clients the option of something totally custom. She can create a personalized mural right on someone’s kitchen countertop or backsplash, and of course, design any type of faux finish wall art imaginable.”

“We find that our customers are unique in the fact that they want something that is anything but ordinary! They want one-of-a-kind pieces! We feel concrete lovers are special! They appreciate the variances which non-crete lovers would call a flaw, but our clients call originality, beauty, and their own.”
