“I still run a lot of the jobs myself and I’m still out at jobsites all day. I like to make sure our customers are happy at the end of the day,” Bishop said.

Since 2007, the staff has grown to 11. His wife, Stacy Bishop, is included among the staff members. She handles bookkeeping and office work.

Dan and Stacy actually met in the industry when they were both working for a floor company. After they married, she continued working as a secretary for other companies until Dan decided he wanted to include her in his new staff in 2007.

Dan’s background is floor maintenance work. Originally from Brownwood, he moved to Austin in 2001. He started his own floor maintenance business, and soon after, decided he wanted to learn the art of stained concrete. This work expanded to the MondernCrete business. He also has a separate business called DiamonCrete, which focuses solely on polished concrete. He started it around the same time he hired his staff.

When not working away, Dan and Stacy enjoy fishing, hunting and spending time with their four dogs.

ModernCrete specializes in stained concrete, concrete counter tops and polished concrete. –km
