Swarey Builders was started in 1990 by David A. Swarey after 12 years of prior construction experience. Our primary focus back then was general construction including flatwork concrete. In the spring of 1999 we attended a Stampcrete training seminar where we learned about the unique possibilities of working with decorative stamped concrete.
