About the Metro Pro

The Metro Pro features Case Studies by the best contractors, product manufacturers, and real estate professionals in Metropolitan markets nationwide.

Unlike directory sites who will take anyone with a credit card, The Metro Pro only works with those professionals who have a proven track record.

My name is Ed Winslow. I started Metrocrete www.Metrocrete.com  in 2007 to help educate consumers about the processes and benefits of using specialized concrete products to add value to their residential homes and commercial properties.

Utilizing Case Studies with a Search Engine Optimization strategy Metrocrete became a very powerful tool for local contractors to promote their businesses while educating their customer  about their profession.  Educated consumers became excellent clients for each contractor. Contractors had credibility and didn’t have to drop their price to get business. Clients learned that “first cost” (cheapest cost) was more expensive than retaining an experienced professional.

The age old adage “you get what you pay for” is true in real estate and construction.  When it comes to real estate and construction mistakes are expensive.

The Metro Pro evolved from Metrocrete incorporating a social networking strategy.  Working with professional  decorative concrete professionals we found each had a network of high caliber professionals they worked and associated with.  The most effective developed  a productive  network that constantly referred them business.

The Metro Pro was developed with the help of Professionals like Joe Sheehan owner of GF1 in Minneapolis and Steve Conklin in the Rocky Mountains,  both coating professionals.  The idea “could you create a site that promoted local high quality contractors in our  network” evolved.  A site that promotes local social networks that educates the consumer about the right way to add value to a property.

The Metro Pro is dedicated to those hard working professionals who provide a high quality, value added service to their customers.
I’ve been in real estate and construction for over 20 years and been in your shoes.  I’ve been a client and a  real estate and construction service provider.  I know what it’s like to spend a day  pouring concrete and I know what it’s like to hire the wrong company. It has always cost me more to do it wrong.
