Company Overviews

About Furniture Medic

Joseph Lunsford wasn't looking to start a business when he moved into a new home and realized that several pieces of his furniture had been damaged in transit, but start one he did. He founded Furniture Medic in 1992 in response to his dissatisfaction with the long turnaround time that was common with most refurnishing shops. In 1996 Furniture Medic was acquired by ServiceMaster and has since grown to more than 600 locations throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.

About Concrete Craft

Concrete Craft (formerly All American Decorative Concrete) has been making art out of ordinary concrete since 2006. Co-founders John Kostro and Dan Lightner originally wanted to go into business together and buy a swimming pool dealership. In the midst of their due diligence, they found that people didn’t like the boring, gray concrete around most pools. Seeing a need, they decided to switch gears and create a decorative concrete franchise. From there, they expanded the areas that could benefit from concrete resurfacing, from pools to walkways, driveways, patios, and more.

In 2015, Home Franchise Concepts saw the enormous potential in the marketplace, bought All American Decorative Concrete, and rebranded it as Concrete Craft.
