Enhance Your Living Space
A game-changing merger transformed the home improvement landscape in Western New York. ReVamp Companies took over two of the region’s most respected companies, The Vinyl Outlet and Apollo Concrete Coatings, to create a powerhouse in residential fencing, decking, and concrete floor coatings. This strategic alliance leverages national buying power and an extensive network with the family business to ensure unmatched quality and customer satisfaction the Western NY region has come to expect from the two homegrown companies.
A LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE
Russ Bickert, previous owner of Apollo Concrete Coatings, now holds an ownership stake in ReVamp. Alongside his wife, Joy, who now leads Apollo Concrete Coatings, Russ has seamlessly integrated his expertise into ReVamp. With a reputation for durable and aesthetically pleasing coatings engineered to perform and built to last, ReVamp specializes in transforming garage floors, basements, and more.
The merger has brought a wealth of experience and innovation to The Vinyl Outlet. Known for its superior vinyl products and exceptional customer service that have both continued through the merger, The Vinyl Outlet focuses exclusively on residential fencing, decking, and railings. Applying ReVamp’s business theories and processes, the company has simply become more efficient without compromising the quality customers have come to expect.
SUPERIOR PRODUCTS AND CUSTOM SOLUTIONS
One of the standout features of The Vinyl Outlet and ReVamp is their commitment to using only the highest quality materials. The Vinyl Outlet holds exclusivity on Veka products in the Western New York area. Unlike competitors who may use recycled vinyl that can become translucent, fade, or bow over time, The Vinyl Outlet’s 100% pure vinyl products maintain their integrity and appearance for years.
Every product from The Vinyl Outlet is custom-fabricated inhouse to ensure a perfect fit for each job. This meticulous attention to detail means there is no piecing together of parts from the shelves; instead, each component is crafted specifically for the project at hand. This dedication to customization is a testament to the company’s commitment to providing superior products and unmatched customer service.
RECOGNITION AND EXPANSION
The Vinyl Outlet’s excellence has not gone unnoticed. Voted the Best Exterior Home Improvement Company in Buffalo in both 2022 and 2023 by Best of 716, The Vinyl Outlet has grown from a small business into one of the most trusted providers of vinyl fences, decks, porches, and railings in the greater Buffalo area. With locations in Buffalo, East Amherst, and Rochester (opened in June 2023), the company plans to expand to Syracuse by 2025.
Russ recognizes the exceptional contributions of the Directors of Operations, Jay and Ralph Prentice, and Kirk Brickwood. These Buffalo and Rochester natives bring a wealth of experience and commitment to the company, ensuring every project is executed to the highest standards.
INNOVATIVE CONCRETE COATINGS
Apollo Concrete Coatings has been a staple in the Western New York community since 1976. With an acute awareness of the region’s extreme weather conditions, Apollo pioneered the use of polyaspartic materials for concrete floor coatings. These coatings offer high performance, durability, and an impenetrable defense against the elements, making them ideal for garage floors, basements, and other areas subjected to heavy use and harsh conditions.
ReVamp Companies continues this tradition of innovation, providing concrete floor coatings that are visually appealing and durable, designed to withstand extreme winter weather, provide UV protection in the summer, and resist chemicals, stains, and slips. This commitment to quality and performance makes ReVamp the go-to choice for homeowners looking to enhance and protect their concrete surfaces.
COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER SUCCESS
At the heart of both parts of the newly merged ReVamp company is a dedication to customer success. Western New York’s leading installer of vinyl fencing, railing, and PVC decking, The Vinyl Outlet takes pride in each finished project. With over three decades of local experience and more than 30,000 custom vinyl installations, the company has built a reputation for excellence.
Vinyl is impervious to splinters, warping, and rot, ensuring that it never fades and always looks amazing. The Vinyl Outlet’s expert installation, superior materials, and highly experienced team guarantee that every project meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
The future looks bright for ReVamp and its Vinyl Outlet and Apollo portfolio. With a history of customer satisfaction and plans for continued expansion, the companies are poised to bring their exceptional products and services to even more homeowners across Western New York.
The merged entity combines the strengths of two industry leaders and fosters innovation and growth. Focusing on quality, customization, and customer service, ReVamp will continue the legacy of excellence for years to come.
For homeowners looking to elevate their outdoor spaces and protect their concrete surfaces, ReVamp offers the perfect combination of superior products, expert installation, and exceptional service.
