I've been doing concrete for 15 years and never saw this technique and I'm impressed!
Guessing you could charge a good price for this. And not many people know this is even possible making customers more excited about it.
One thing I never liked about concrete is how bland it is. As an artist I love the decorative side of concrete. I'd rather do this full time than doing traditional concrete work, no joke!
Go for it! It’s pretty profitable and less competitive
Thanks for watching!
@@designcretediy How much do you charge per sf? And what was your startup cost?
Also looks easy enough to do solo, just more time.
Thanks for the reply.
That would be a perfect finish for a concrete basement floor.
nice! One suggestion... Show the finished product at the end. The closeups looked realistic and really nice. Would have liked a shot at the end of what it looked like after everything dried/cured. Very nice looking!
Great feedback, thanks! We will do that on the next video
They didn't because is looks like crap
@@ahole5407You have the perfect name, a hole…. They did a great job. Go to your room and leave the adults alone.
Hhhhhhyýýýýý6ýyý
@@judy-yv2zs no there is not, there are no close ups or wide pan shots of the finished project. Only a motionless framed shot with foot prints and furniture covering it.
I’ll bet that really confuses termites . LoL 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I began watching this video thinking, “yeah right” and was very skeptical. I am now very impressed and think it looks great. I love it. Well done. 👍
😀thanks!
Lol me too
I've seen a lot of floor design ideas. But this one for a concrete finish is Super ingenious and inovative! 5 Stars
Glad you like it!
I've been painting cement for 40 years with just paint and finally the universe caught up with me. These are just magical products to work with. Thank you for the visuals and the simple tutorial. Just brilliant. I'm now a fan and subscribed to your channel
Awesome thank you
I'm a painting contractor I would have added some knots it really puts the final look super easy just a few it breaks up stain mistakes
Knots would make it look cheap.
There is always a smart ass.😊. And how would you create these knots.
Ive seen new housing developments, builds where th whole interior has a natural wood print commercially done and the concrete has a neutral wood colour. They do it at the time of the build. But this is good that its possible over a slab already down.
The bathroom amd kitchens were polished concrete so had a flat polished pebble effect.
Concrete is so versitile.
Be honest, how did that job hold up? I'm looking in the edges left, right, and at your feet in the intro. It looks scuffed and weathered. The final product didn't look bad, but that's a lot of work to just have it wind up worn out and showing the concrete underneath.
This is incredibly impressive. I think I've just found the perfect idea for my house. Thank you for sharing!

Beautiful!
Agreed!
It's beautiful! I did concrete stain on my floors in my house years ago so can really appreciate this. I never would have thought about doing this.Thanks so much for sharing!
You are so welcome!
I love huge porches, you guys did a wonderful job! I watched it and don't even have a porch!
Thank you 🙏 it’s comments like these that make my day
Wanted to see a close up of the finished project didn't really see it that well. But you guys are amazing it looks so beautiful and just like wood! Genius idea 💡
Thank you! Join our Fb group Designcrete diyers club for tons of photos and help
@@designcretediy most definitely will thanks
AMAZING GUYS!! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! If you where closer I would hire you.... Million kisses from Serbia
so, there's a silicone tool for adding woodgrain to stain strokes, I think that would help here to get a better woodgrain pattern, but this is awesome, thanks for sharing!
your facebook link is broken btw
That looks awesome!!
Thanks I’ll look into it!
Agreed🎉🎉🎉
I kinda like the white board maybe clear sealer for another option
My son and I said great job! We are going to try this ourselves.
Have fun! I hope you join us on Facebook at Designcrete diyers club we’d love to see your project
I don't think it's a good DIY type of job.
Looks like he has a helper to me. A cute helper. Good job, looks great.
Watched your video this morning and all I can say is WOW!!! SO AMAZING!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The close ups during the staining are so cool how much it looks like wood grain!! Beautiful work!
Thanks!
Have you considered putting knots in the boards? Break a concrete sanding block in half. After etching the board edges in, use the half block and twist it several times on one spot within the lines of a board, creating a different pattern. This can either be stained with the rest of the concrete the same color, or stained with a slightly different shade to make the knot stand out more!
The project looks great as is though! Kudos!
Thank you! That’s a great idea
Love the finished look!!
One of the coolest floor finishes I've seen! Great job and thanks for sharing.
Wow, thanks!
I had my doubts in the beginning, but this turned out beautifully! Love it!
I'm so glad! Thank you
Many things look great on video.Not so much in person. And if you have any design experience...oh my, how do we fix this mess. Been there, done that.
I love this but not sure we could do this on our own , age does have its limits , it’s gorgeous
Thank you! If you have a handy friend or family member show them the tutorial and they can help you
@@designcretediy Probably like asking them to come over on Sat for an all day Moving party... 🤫🙄😉
Yes, my thoughts exactly. Plus I'm alone. Would take me at least a month to get this all done. Doubt it can be done in small sections.
@@kevo8498 Exactly. I just saw a meme the other day. If you're over 40 and need to move, hire movers. Pizza and a beer just isn't worth it at this age.
By far the coolest thing Ive seen done to a concrete slab. Nice job!!
Thank you!
Ugh!!! Why are people so talented!!! Why is this video bringing me so much joy this morning!!!!❤❤❤❤ Beautiful job!
Haha this is my favorite comment 😁 you made my day
@designcretediy Thanks but you made my day. New subscriber for sure. Thank you for posting this video.
I thought this looked amazing thank you for sharing and showing how to do this step by step!
🤩
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching
Truly innovative. Quite a few delicate proceedures to perform, but a creative alternative to tiles or pavers or just painting a boring surface. Nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow! It looks just like wood! That's great! Thanks for showing us!
Thanks for watching!
Dave does nice work, very precise! Looks good Dave!
Great idea! Lots and lots of hard work and time!! But, if a person is motivated, you showed that it could be done. Looks terrific!! ❤❤
Thank you!
Not hard at all. If you can sweep a floor you can do this.
Great video. Made it look super simple to do. But that's credited to how well you two work together. Besides the experience you have. I feel confident enough to attempt my own project by watching your video. I will definitely subscribe. 😊
Thank you so much!! I hope you do :) Join our facebook group at designcrete diyers club to share your project and get help
I saw this and my first thought was how awesome it looks. My second was to send it to some family friends that are doing improvements around their house right now!
Thanks for sharing!! We appreciate you
What a knock out job!!❤ It looks so good!! Such an inviting space!🪵
Thank you!
Omg, this is AMAZING!!! Love the look. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!!

@@maureen14 When I commented on this video, I examined the subscriber's section to the right of the company logo and just below the name Designcretedily. It's certainly possible I was incorrect, or that they are growing subscriptions quickly. At any rate, I look forward to more content from them.

Very nice and very detailed!
That is so clever, and could fool anyone. All your hard work really paid off.
Thank you so much!
An awesome example of the new design options using these space-age materials and techniques! Expertly executed you two ! ❤🎉
Glad you like it!
That looked nice to me.
I was real apprehensive the first time I stained concrete. Come to find out that if I went slowly and had all my prep ready that it's very forgiving and you can always just go to a darker pattern if you start out lite.
Good tip!
What a great job, thank you for sharing!
1. This is by no means a beginner DIY'er job - it is almost a pro job 2. This is extremely labor intensive - way more than staining & sealing; other than that - this looks great.
Thanks for watching, just because it’s work doesn’t mean it isn’t easy, lots of first time diyers have done this
That came out nice. Great job!
Thanks 👍
You guys did an awesome job. You have to have a lot of patience to do this DIY! I would like to have my garage and front porch in faux wood.
You can do it!
Sam, did you have experience with this through your work first?
WOW! BEAUTIFULLY DONE. THANKS SHARING. LOVE IT❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much 😊
Looks great well done 👍
That looked like some serious work there. BUTT (punn intended) that is some beautiful results!! Makes me want to put in a patio so I can do that. Seriously, that looks great!! Dang I like that!! Might have been easier for me 20 - 25 years ago but it sure looks great!! thanks for showing this!!
Thanks 🙏
So cool. Would blow peopla minds if yall did around thr unit too. Make it look like you set the unit on a wood floor. Great job guys
Definitely could. Wasn’t a great video opportunity area.
Great idea
Wow! Gorgeous
Beautiful job!!!
Love those jobsite OSHA approved flipflops!
You don’t need osha when you are at home. 🙄
@@DesignCreteSam It was a JOKE!
Noticed it also.
Peace.
Hi. Very good. One small piece of advice. Avoid doing this work when the sun is so bright, especially the two stain coats. Early mornings and evenings are best in a sunny place, or wait until the area is shielded from the sun. The stain will not dry so fast making it easier to avoid 'brush marks/lines'. It came out nice though. Thanks, good video and narration. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! Yes good advice cooler temps and indirect sun is best
Absolutely. Video recording was in fact needing good light. Thanks!
That came out really clean
Wow ton of work!!!
Loveeeeeee! You guys are great and i dig the video. Thank you for that! Saving this for future references.
Awesome! Thank you!
Clean the broom so you don’t get crumbs a clean broom is key to a uniform look
The key to a good wood texture is not having it uniform
When we moved into our house back in 1991 the staircase had a wrought iron railing. We didn’t like it so my husband changed the stairs, railing and balusters to oak and put in a shoe rail, which you are not supposed to do. The railing was an over the post railing. He even made the dead man stands for setting it all up.
Just WOW!!!! Looks incredible
Thank you!
new subscriber from Bournemouth, England ! impressive work ill be trying it soon.
England! Awesome thank you for subscribing to our brand new channel 💕
That's a lot of hard work 😮💨 but the end of it all is fantastic!!!!!! Awesome job 👏 ❤❤
Thank you so much! 💕
This is amazing, I love how it looks!
From how I can see it, even just the first coat of paint looked great. There are endless ways you can do this wood look!
Yes, easy & good process 👍
Thank you so much!
This is beautiful, I want to do an outdoor kitchen and this may be the floor technique I end up using!
You should! Join our group on Facebook for help and inspiration @ Designcrete diyers club
This looks great, I'd be curious to see how it holds up to the elements and general traffic as well as putting furniture on it and it it gets something hard dropped on it. It looked like a lot of work for a great end result but hopefully it holds up.
Thanks! Microcement is extremely durable it even does well on driveways
looks great, i wonder how it holds up and what it would looks like in 5 10 years
Thanks!! It needs a new coat of sealer every couple of years to keep it looking like new
Totally cool! Awesome🤩
Rey nice! Inspirational!
This looks awesome. I didn't even know this was a thing. My concern is, will that basecoat/texture chip off after awhile? Amazing job! Thanks for the video.
Great question, it bonds extremely well to concrete and as long as the sealer is good it’ll hold up
Thanks!
Unfortunately, I’m slowly learning that nothing last forever lol. Would absolutely love a yearly update.
All the best.

I never knew I needed this in my life.
Haha awesome 😁
Brilliant job.😊
Pretty cool idea. Maybe I will try it in the garage, although I think the tires will rub out a lot of the brush work.
Too much work but it looks beautiful ❤
Thank you
That looked amazing! I was suspicious in the beginning, but it ended up looking so good. It gave me great inspiration for my deck. The only difference, I think I would want a lighter wood stain like maybe a tan gray color.
Awesome! Thank you!
You should join our group on Facebook @designcrete diyers club to see all the different styles people are doing
@@designcretediy I did see someone who used large wood grain rectangular stamps and pressed them into the concrete. Very interesting.
Beautiful! Good job! Lots of work and persistence!
Thank you! Cheers!
You have done a great job of transforming the deck.
Thank you 🙏
This is amazing.. how many days did it take to do this. !! Perfection 🥰
Thanks! It took 1.5 days start to finish
Suggestion. Your A/C unit was directly in the sun the entire days you were doing this. That heat makes your A/C less efficient and more expensive to run during the day. This could be fixed by designing and building a DIY covered, but vented box around and on top of the unit. This should not or permanent but removable for maintenance. You could also incorporate that build with a counter along that side of the patio. It could have a work area, a sink, an area for your BBQ, a small refrigerator what ever your imagination comes up with. Save money in your electric bill and expand the patios usable space and improve your lifestyle…
some AC unit are on the roof ... need open space for ventilation
Isn't the ac box already an enclosure for the motor and the coils?
You guys put a lot of time into your work and it looks great. Very satisfying video. Thanks so much for sharing.❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Wow !
I'm blown away !
Thank you!
Can you stop/restart later in the middle of any of these steps?
Can you use this inside on concrete floors?
How long does it last?
Great question, yes you can start stop after any step however I suggest getting it stained and sealed asap because if an animal runs across it it would leave stains, once it’s sealed it’s safe
You can do this indoors, the prep is a bit different though, we will eventually make a tutorial for interiors
It will last decades as long as you add a coat of sealer every couple of years
An awful lot of work but it does look fantastic
Thank you
That is why folks hire people to do things. They don't want to do the work.
When you want things done you better have either the money to pay someone else to do it or the effort to do it yourself.
Can't ignore the time it takes, the skill required to do a satisfactory job or the availability of tools. It isn't simply "do it yourself if you aren't lazy".
PERFECT with a WOW! Factor... well done!)))
Excellent tutorial 🎉 Thank you for sharing your step by step process!
You are so welcome! Thanks for the feedback
Love it, great idea. Came out beautiful. But wear a mask when pouring the powder, then dust yourself off. You’re young now, but in a few years, you could get serious lung disease from that. Protect your health always.
Yes! Thank you 🙏
Mask on yes!
Show off the end of the project 🙄
It’s in the intro
This looks really nice. Great work.
Thank you very much!
Unbelievable!! Looks great!
Thank you! Cheers!
7:08 this is exactly why you don’t wait 5 minutes, just go and put it on. Now you have to add more water and possibly mess up the consistency. Folks, DO NOT wait 5 minutes when mixing a mixture because it will harden. As long as it’s mixed really good, the 5 minutes is completely useless and even harmful for the mixture.
Nope. The 5 minute mix break is important, I know this because it’s my products 🤙🏻
Our product is designed to hydrate fully within that 5 minutes. This isn’t regular cement. But thanks for the concern.
I don't know about this product but in other products such as grout and drywall setting type compound it's good to let it set. I believe they call it letting it slake.
Lol, I love how people that have NEVER used this product have such strong opinions on how to use the product 🤦🤦
Sounds like Jared Bezes even knows better than the creators of this product how to use it 😂
If you don’t have a kissy face after 5 min mix breaks. I see your issue.
This is beautiful!!!
Top shape!! Great video, great planning, clear instructions!! You guys are great!!!!
Thank you so much 😃 comments like this really motivate us
Just amazing! Looks great!
Thank you! Cheers!
You guys make a great team. And for the job. I love it..🤩🤩
Thx for sharing..
Thanks for watching 🙂
Really great result! I may have to try this on our concrete basketball court.

I wish this was a selection one could request when building a home. For basements, garages and patios.
Absolutely LOVE this.
Always loved the idea of decking but living in Australia I worry about the upkeep and lifespan of a timber deck.
Very hot summers, typically 104F+ and pissing down with rain in winter.
Obviously people build decks here but, to me, they mostly look pretty shabby after a few years.
This is an excellent solution.
Bravo! 👏 👏 👏
Thank you so much! This is great in the heat too because of the texture there’s less surface area touching your feet making it feel cooler
I must say, absolutely exquisite.
Many thanks!
Looks great
Brilliant work. Very impressed. What a fantastic idea
