Futura Stone of Pittsburgh
Becomes Galaxy Stone
Covering Concrete in Westmoreland County
and the Pittsburgh Area Since 1989!
Gorgeous. Unbelievably
attractive. When was the last time you heard such words used to describe a
walkway or patio surface? Anywhere you have a "drab slab" of concrete, Futura
Stone of Pittsburgh can dress up your walkway, garage floor, patio surface, or
even your basement with Futura Stone, an attractive and long lasting concrete
resurfacing technique.
Futura Stone is a challenge to describe. Imagine the finest river
gravel nature can provide, all natural stones that have been sized, washed, and
kiln dried. Sorted into a rich variety of colors, from light and dark
applications to chocolate and ivory varieties, or even specialties like Texas
and Alabama Rainbow, these stones become the basis for a remarkable resurfacing
mix. A space age epoxy aggregate system and the work of skilled applicators does
the rest. The result is a durable, eye-pleasing elegance that will set off your
in-ground pool like a gemstone, or provide an attractive, slip-resistant surface
on the walkway to your front door. This surface withstands heavy traffic, even
the weight of vehicles, and can be enhanced with decorative borders and designs.

Westmoreland County is home to one of the most experienced Futura
Stone dealers in the nation. With a 13 year history installing Future Stone
locally, Ross Citriniti and his crew at Futura Stone of Pittsburgh have been
busy all summer long installing one decorative Futura Stone masterpiece after
another. At first, Futura Stone was merely a sideline for Ross. With 20 years of
body shop work behind him, Ross Citriniti came upon Futura Stone by accident.
While on vacation in Florida, he answered an ad to look at a car, but the
salesman's driveway, indeed much of his backyard had been resurfaced with Futura
Stone. Ross immediately forgot about the car and went on to purchase the Futura
Stone franchise for the entire state of Pennsylvania. At first his Futura Stone
work took second place, as a sideline to the body shop, but these days the
growing demand for Ross's expertise with this remarkable product is all that he
can handle.
"Westmoreland County and Pittsburgh are the best places in the
country to work," said Ross Citriniti. "It's true that people here will smile
and talk to you, wherever you meet them. And with Futura Stone, we've had
customers so happy, they will give you a hug. Our crew was recently invited to a
picnic on a patio we resurfaced. Without a doubt, patios are our specialty."
Most applications of Futura Stone can be completed in one or two
days, with very little impact on landscaping. Minor cracks in concrete are
covered right over, and the surface can be walked on within eight hours. It's
the perfect solution for any drab, concrete surface that is beginning to show
its age. Why endure a week of jackhammering to dress up a few cracks in your
patio? Futura Stone is the perfect solution, and a non-skid application is
available to boost the safety of this attractive product.
"Pittsburgh winters will not damage Futura Stone," Ross continued.
"This product has 25% elasticity. It will flex as the concrete moves due to heat
and cold. Water passes right through the aggregate and drains as it did before
the Futura Stone was applied. I've seen snow melt away from it after the initial
layer was removed with a plastic shovel." As far as care and maintenance go, the
use of salt in winter is not advised, but calcium chloride is acceptable to keep
the ice at bay. Resealing the product every two or three years helps maintain
Futura Stone's natural luster. In the rare event that Futura Stone itself is
ever damaged, repair is an exceptionally easy process which results in a once
again seamless and beautiful surface.
What sets Futura Stone of Pittsburgh apart from its competitors is
experience. With more than a decade installing this decorative product locally,
Ross and his team know what works best and how to assure that your investment in
Futura Stone will remain a long-lasting source of beauty and added value to your
home. Look for Ross Citriniti and Futura Stone of Pittsburgh at shows like the
Westmoreland Home Show and the Pittsburgh Home and Garden Show. Or give Ross a
call. He will be glad to answer all of your questions and help you see if Futura
Stone is answer for you.
