Did you know that 80% of concrete finishers that we see on our projects are 3-4 generations (of training) removed from principles learned in certified flatwork finishing classes? Training principles dilute as information is passed down over time. Do yourself a favor and get your teams ACI trained and certified. Your jobs will be easier, your labor costs will go down and your customers will be happier - which means profitable, repeat business.
