Carolina Bomanite Corporation

What Carolina Bomanite Corporation does

Carolina Bomanite Corporation is a privately held architectural concrete contracting firm founded in 1974 and headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. The company specializes in the installation of decorative and architectural concrete hardscapes, serving commercial, institutional, government, and residential clients across a four-state Southeast region from Virginia to Georgia. Its core product offerings include the Bomanite system (cast-in-place colored and imprinted concrete), Bomacron (textured imprint system simulating slate, granite, and stone), Patene Artectura (topical coloration), and Grasscrete (pervious void-structured concrete for stormwater management), supplemented by the proprietary SandX family of exposed aggregate finishes developed in-house beginning around 2007-2010. The firm holds licensed Bomanite territories in North and South Carolina with open-territory rights in Virginia, and is a member of the Bomanite International Society of Contractors, American Society of Concrete Contractors, and Interlocking Concrete Paver Association.

The business operates on a project-based contracting model, self-performing all installation work with experienced supervised crews. Revenue is generated primarily through architectural concrete installation contracts (one-time project revenue) and ancillary design and consulting services (professional services), with pricing established per project on a quote basis. Site consultations and design showroom visits are provided at no charge, while design and planning fees may apply for larger projects. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and enterprise field-sales oriented, working directly with architects, designers, general contractors, developers, and homeowners from the design specification stage through final installation. The firm operates as a "preferred installer" specified by leading architectural firms, with a notable concentration of public and institutional contracts including transit infrastructure (11 CATS Blue Line Extension stations plus 3 parking garages), municipal streetscapes (Town of Kings Mountain, Rosa Parks Place), educational facilities (UNCW, Statesville Christian School), and large corporate campuses (Syngenta 100,000+ SF). Distribution is conducted through direct sales (John Fletcher handles landscape architect and designer relationships), the Bomanite licensed-territory channel model, and a new Charlotte Design Center opened in 2024 that provides experiential showroom access. The company employs 1-10 people, is owned by John and Donna Fletcher, and has accumulated multiple industry awards including Bomanite Co. Gold Awards (2021, 2022, 2024) and ASCC awards (2023, 2025).
