Arturo Escalante · Concrete Studio · Joplin, Missouri · Est. 2000
JOPLIN, MO
CONCRETE CONTRACTOR
Epoxy floors, driveway overlays, metallic pours & decorative concrete — serving Joplin, MO and the Four-State area since 2000.
One Name.
One Standard.
Arturo Escalante founded Crete Creations LLC with a simple principle: every concrete surface deserves master-level care and the right product for the job. Based in Joplin, Missouri — with more than 25 years of experience working with epoxy, polyurea, and polyaspartic systems — Arturo specifies the system that best fits your specific concrete, not a one-size-fits-all package pushed on every floor regardless of conditions.
The result is a body of work that spans residential garage floors, one-of-a-kind metallic epoxy pours, elaborate driveway overlay systems, large-scale commercial floors, and custom outdoor concrete — all executed personally by Arturo on every project.
Concrete Coatings &
Decorative Concrete.
For a garage or workshop, start with epoxy flooring and garage floor coatings in Joplin. Compare preparation, repairs, flake colors, and the proposed topcoat for your concrete. For a room below grade, explore basement floor coatings and discuss moisture conditions before choosing a finish.
Outside, driveway resurfacing and decorative overlays are assessed for suitable existing slabs. For a distinctive interior, compare metallic epoxy with polished concrete. Arturo can discuss the differences at a site assessment and prepare a quote for the work you need.

Garage floors to commercial spaces
The most experienced concrete coating installer in the Four State region. Arturo personally oversees every project — not a franchise crew, not a sub-contractor. The same craftsman who quoted you does the work.
After more than 25 years with epoxy, polyurea, and polyaspartic, Arturo specifies the exact combination that fits your concrete's specific needs — moisture level, age, condition, climate. Not one package for every floor.
Garage floors, metallic pours, driveway overlay masterpieces — Crete Creations creates what other contractors can't attempt. 24 years of creative concrete work in one portfolio.
