Cohn Restaurant Group Corporate Offices

Life Deck has done the floors in several of the Cohn Restaurants and this year they asked us to do the floors at their headquarters in Liberty Station.  The Cohns originally wanted to grind and seal the floors, but after inspection, project manager Gil Koury new the existing concrete was not in the best condition for that option. The Cohns and their design team really wanted to have the look of troweled concrete. Our team installed a TC-4 smooth troweled cement overlay and then sealed the floors with EC 96 satin polyurethane topcoat. The finished product came out beautiful, and really matched the urban sheik design of the new offices for The Cohn Restaurant Group!

Seaside Carlsbad Home

This private residence in Carlsbad is not only right on the beach with a stunning view of the Pacific Ocean but it has an enormous layout complete with balconies, patios, and a pooldeck.  The customer wanted a fresh look on all the exterior living spaces.  

The balcony decks (not shown) were waterproofed with our ALX system with a knockdown texture finish and Spanish Brown topcoat.  The exterior concrete including pool deck, walkways and patio were all resurfaced with our Texture-Crete Custom system.  The main color scheme on these exterior areas is Everglade (a blend of our Water-based Stains in Ivory and Umber) with a Rocky Nook border and all areas were then sealed with our SC-70 Acrylic Lacquer Sealer.  The customer loved the rich and natural finish our crew was able to achieve.

Sheraton Harbor Island

One of the busiest San Diego hotels added square footage to the existing stamped concrete of their porte-cochere. The Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina had 5000 square feet of existing stamped concrete that needed to match up to the new stamped concrete areas.  Project Consultant Gil Koury had to match old existing stamped concrete to the newly added stamped areas and all while the hotel remained open and guests move past our work areas checking in and out without skipping a beat. Gil and his crew accomplished this in two weeks and the hotel kept running as usual and they couldn't be happier with the results!  The old stamped concrete was resurfaced with our 11-10 which is made up of EC-11 Water-Based Epoxy and SC-10 Acrylic Topcoat and then a Water-Based Stain finish was applied to blend the mismatched areas together seamlessly.
