Today, concrete home builders can offer their customers a wide variety of products that create a multitude of finishes. When built, after concrete forms are removed from walls following the pour, workers apply a thin coat of finishing material to cover, seal, and create walls as smooth as drywall. Aluminum concrete forms that create cast-in-place concrete walls also provide textured brick patterns for a realistic appearance of brick when finished. When completed these resilient walls need only be power washed occasionally providing homeowners reduced maintenance costs when compared to wood homes. Unless people witness the construction, concrete homeowners testify that visitors do not realize their homes are built with concrete unless the owner tells them.
