Just found your channel. NEVER have I binge watched anyone’s channel. Your attention to detail and ability to explain to the novice is awesome. Thank you for sharing!
@@neftalierivera5726 Buenos días, solo mira sus videos, el te explica muy bien en todo lo que hace y también te proporciona nombres de los materiales y herramientas que usa, además de darte tips y técnicas necesarias para hacer el trabajo. Mike y su equipo son muy buenos en lo que hacen
The pride in your craft and the finished product really shines through, even in your video work, narration etc. I worked many of my teen years in the 70’s on construction sites with my Dad who worked his butt off as a self employed tradesman so I have a solid understanding of the effort and committment. Another outstanding job like all the others I have watched you AND YOUR TEAM do. Great job in recognizing their efforts and contributions as well.
You are all equally doing real work. Don't disregard your part in the process because it doesn't "look" as labour intensive. Meticulous quality control is what separates the amateur & or bad contractors from the professional/good ones. Your part and job is valuable. Keep up the good work 👏
You Definitely know what you're doing. ..I wouldn't even have the nerve or patience to attempt doing stamped concrete. Seems like too much can go wrong, like if it's too soft, or gets too hard, etc. ... The finished product looks Incredible👍, like you could actually get a splinter.😂
I watched alot of your vids a few years back. You are one of the best I've seen and you take it to a whole new level(pun). I love the barn wood floor. I was doing pebblewash sidewalks back in the 70's thinkin it was cutting edge. Thx for sharing.😉
Wow that turned out awesome. Your videos are helping demystify Concrete. Since finding your UA-cam channel I tend to watch your videos weekly - Then it hit me, “I know this guy”. I use to work the front at O&P Glass and you helped us inset a couple brackets to make bringing in those huge glass pallets way safer.
Where did you get your stamps. I have a set of 12 in cedar planks from brickform. They are nice but I really like that weathered barnwood look of those. Thank you. Your a artist. I love watching your videos, I've learned allot.
Maybe a secret. I see your question is unanswered after a year. He does list all his tools other than the stamps if we want to try ourselves as he said in video ..... but the stamps are the most important tool if you want the look in this video.
Such beautiful work! If this was put in a basement and it flooded? Whether flooding from the wall down on top of a floor or If the water came up from under the whole foundation would this floor not get ruined? To be fair, I can't seem to find any floor that can withstand a flood without some sort of damage resulting in removal needed.
The ends were set to 3/16". The laser level sends out a level laser beam. the "beepy thing" is the receiver that detects the beam and tells us when the screw heads are all at the same level.
The beepy thing I used to use had rapid beeps to go down and slow beeps to go up so you don't need to look at the reading. A continuous beep means that you are at the right level. There's a course setting or a fine setting according to how precise you want to be. These lasers have come down in price since I started using them and are great for use over large areas or outside. Tip. beware of inaccurate readings when used near plant with flashing beacons. 😁
Free lesson: You grind old concrete not to make it more coarse to bond better but because when you float new concrete it rises cement slur on top which is more weaker and lose. With grinding you remove that lose layer and expose harder material which all top layers can bond better grinding also removes dirt and grime. Why use primer, doesn't matter how well you vacuum just grind floor it will still have dust on so primer "glues" that lose dust into old slab cause nothing adhere well to dust and also makes that surface to less water permeable so water that is added to stamping stuff remain in mixture as long as possible to help it cure.
I really like this. I would however, like to find a pattern that is not so textured, something for say, a workshop, where I can hose it down to remove dust. Maybe fluted lines that lead to a industrial drain?
That depends if the tiles are adhered good or not. If they are, lightly grind them, primer and self leveler, then stampable overlay just like we did here. If some tiles are coming up, it would be safer to remove them and start from there.
What will stop the new floor from cracking like the old one? I have a large garage and when my home was built, the concrete people used large power driven sweepers to smooth the concrete. I believe they did too much sweeping and caused the water to rise to the surface and weaken the concrete. It now has cracks all over the place and looks terrible(looks like a jig saw puzzle). I don't know what to do and I just am concerned that if I were to do something like you did, that it would just crack again. Do you have any advice or could you tell me if those cracks will come back in the floor you just completed? Thanks again Mike, I love your videos and all the projects you do look fantastic!
Could I do this process outside on a previously stamped patio? I have a old stamped patio that’s red timber stamped and I’m not a fan of it. Hypothetically could I etch it then prime it and pour over self level. Once dried could I do an overlay then a new stamped pattern without the outdoor elements effecting it?
You can use this outdoors, yes. I've gone over previously stamped concrete with it and re-stamped a new pattern. You probably wouldn't need the self leveler just the stampable overlay to do that.
Beautiful job Mike love your channel. I want to buy those same rubberstamps that you made the plant floor with. Where can I buy them? I need. I’m on a job right now. I need them thanks.
Great work. A pleasure to watch and very easy to understand. I am very interested in doing something like this in my garage. In your opinion, do you think this will last in an actual automotive garage? As I actually use my garage to work on my hot rods
You & Your Crew have Top Level Skills.
Appreciate that
Can that be used outside?

That stampable overlay looks great! You guys made it look so easy, although I’d bet it’s not that easy…
Excellent narration and workmanship on this video. It was a pleasure to watch. Sold me on the finished product.
Thanks!
Thanks Mike! Amazing work. Thanks for taking the time to teach others.
My pleasure John!

There is a learning process to this. Thanks for noticing and appreciating the work.
Wow! What a terrific job you guys! It's such a pleasure to watch professionals performing their art! Thank you for sharing this video! Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! Looks real good. Had no idea stamped concrete could be used as an interior finish. Thanks for sharing.
You bet!
Absolutely beautiful Mike. Thanks for the inspiration you have given me in my business.
Appreciate that bro!

Dayyyyymn!!!! You guys made that floor look great! I wasn't sure when I watched the stamps coming up, but the finished product looks great!
Thanks so much!!
Really nice guys, overlays aren't easy, but you all made it look easy, top notch!
Thank you Frank!
such a quailty finish made to look easy.. cheers
Thank you!
Could you use this same overlay over an outdoor patio area?
Yes, we have done it many times. Works awesome, it's like 6000 psi so even stronger than the concrete.
Awesome job Mike as always !
The floor came out beautiful and authentic !
Thank you so much 👍
Looks amazing 👏 Just wondering what you did to eliminate the floor drain?
I feel like i know more about concrete than asphalt now. Appreciate all the videos!
Wow from Zero to Hero on this one! What a beaut!
Thank you!

Man, awesome job Mike and Team. That stamped concrete was definitely the finishing touch for that converted garage (I think that's what it was).
Thanks 👍
nice job guys. Wish that could be done on a vertical concrete fireplace and chimney
Great job Mike i like when you mixed the color in the release.Tony from Las Cruces NM
It's simple and effective!
Looks beautiful! Nice work gentleman 👍🇺🇸
Very nice job, thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
That's pure flooring magic! I watched the previous video and your team turned a turd into a diamond.
Thanks Mark!
Fantastic looking floor ! Awesome job. Blessings
Thanks Salvador!
I see you used Midwest Rake gauge rakes and smoother. Great work! Looks good.
Thanks 👍
Nice job!! Thought for Seco it was a dang garage but turned out great! Rack em up! Thanks
Thank you!
man that is amazing. Well voice and the final product looks incredible,, Thanks
Man this was some transformation.. 💯
It was! Thanks Umer Khan!
Pretty cool looking floor !!
Thanks Ron!
Legendary man!! Was this cherry blast liquid release?
Some good looking work. Pretty impressed.
That is an amazing transformation. You make it look easy, but I imagine it is some hard work. Happy New Year.

Thanks Evan!
Wow that turned out sweet.
Thanks Nate!
That was a great job there sir😊
That looks awesome, nice work guys
Thanks so much!
Very beautiful and professional! What’re the stamps called and where can we get them?
How will this process in material hold up for outdoor applications... I have a concrete deck and porches to do... Great video
Such beautiful work! If this was put in a basement and it flooded? Whether flooding from the wall down on top of a floor or If the water came up from under the whole foundation would this floor not get ruined?

great job . can i do this on my patio outside.
Yes you can!
You guys are awesome!
Thank you Keith!
Beautiful job .
Thank you!
Wow man! That looks excellent!
Nice job looks good.
Thanks 👍
Awesome job,mate.
Thanks a lot!
Nice work I love it so nice sir am from Ghana
Wow! Looks amazing!
Pretty amazing transformation!
Check out a vacuum attachment called the whale tail, captures the dust while you’re mixing
I know, we just didn't have it with us!
looks great! the gauge rake has adjustable ends, or did he do that by feel? and how the beepy thing works? how does it know level? thanks!
The ends were set to 3/16". The laser level sends out a level laser beam. the "beepy thing" is the receiver that detects the beam and tells us when the screw heads are all at the same level.

What a great job Mike, do you have a link to the stamps?
Get them at www.deco-cretesupply.com
Excellent work
That's really cool. What do you seal it with? Any maintenance with it long term?
Free lesson:
You grind old concrete not to make it more coarse to bond better but because when you float new concrete it rises cement slur on top which is more weaker and lose. With grinding you remove that lose layer and expose harder material which all top layers can bond better grinding also removes dirt and grime.
Why use primer, doesn't matter how well you vacuum just grind floor it will still have dust on so primer "glues" that lose dust into old slab cause nothing adhere well to dust and also makes that surface to less water permeable so water that is added to stamping stuff remain in mixture as long as possible to help it cure.
Really nice job
Amazing can this be done with the self leveling concrete mix
Mike you are a superstar. 👀👍
Thank you, much appreciated!
I really like this. I would however, like to find a pattern that is not so textured, something for say, a workshop, where I can hose it down to remove dust. Maybe fluted lines that lead to a industrial drain?
Maybe just leave it smooth like with the self leveling overlay.
Forgo any texture in a workshop. Smoother the concrete the easier it is to keep clean.
Looks awesome !!! Mike are the stamps you used regular concrete stamps or are they for thin overlays ? Great videos by the way
Regular stamps.
Well done!
Awesome, thanks.
Would it not be a better option to spray the primer? Seems it may be easier and allow a more consistent application. Your thoughts?
Hi Mike. Man wish we had a company like yours down here in Fort Lauderdale.
that really looks nice
Absolutely beautiful....
Really Cool stuff man
That looks beautiful!
Thank you!
Great work but also great job explaining the process. Curious, ballpark cost for a job like this?
Cost is between 15 and 20 $ per sq. ft.
Thanks for sharing !
Looks great.
gotta say didnt think it was going to look good during the placement but the final product came out pretty damn good
Can this stamp able overlay product be used in exterior applications like patios and walkways?
Mike can U do the overlay over tile , or do U think I would need to put down a self leveler first or pull tiles up ?thanks .
That depends if the tiles are adhered good or not. If they are, lightly grind them, primer and self leveler, then stampable overlay just like we did here. If some tiles are coming up, it would be safer to remove them and start from there.
Looks Good!
Awesome job!!! 👌👌👌
Hi mike nice work question can I used the product and stamp for swimming pool deck
Neat stuff. If I were showing before and after camera work I would slow down the camera movement to allow the audience to see better.
Nice job, looks great!
I'm glad you like it
amazing job!👏👏👏
I like your channel boss….that’s why I’m here.! I’m new suscriber…
Thanks and welcome
awesome stuff we talked im in Ludlow can this be done over a wood floor?
It can be yes. All the seams need to be addressed and a flexible epoxy applied with sand broadcast in it first. Then the stampable overlay.
Can you use that? Self leveler formula combination. On a. Real rough floor and still be? To run a floor Jack on it and not Bang it up and ship it up.
Beautiful job!
Really cool transformation price per square foot? I imagine you could do a new floor (concrete) the same way?
It's generally between 15 and 20 $ per sq. ft.
@@MikeDayConcrete So about $7500-9500 for this job.

Andy, I'd have to be there and take a look at it in order to give you clear advice. I've done a lot of these with success though.

Great work. A pleasure to watch and very easy to understand.
I am very interested in doing something like this in my garage. In your opinion, do you think this will last in an actual automotive garage? As I actually use my garage to work on my hot rods
It would work, yes. Just not sure it's the best floor for a creeper to roll on and to keep clean with dirt and grease.
beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
looks awesome
