Benchmark Brewery

Benchmark Brewing Co is another great up and coming San Diego brewery and they called us to stain the existing interior concrete. Our crew installed our Fast Stain Grind and Seal system in the tasting room and Temper-Crete Urethane Cement in the brewing area. If you are thinking of staining your concrete and can't decide on which stain to go with, check out the floors at Benchmark the next time you stop in for a pint!

 

Social Life Pizza

Social Life Pizza moved in to the College area and needed some work on the old existing concrete. We installed our Fast Stain Grind/Stain/Seal system in Brown and sealed it with EC-11 Water-Based Epoxy and SC-66 Water-Based Satin Polyurethane Sealer.  Check it out next time you're in the area for some fresh Neapolitan pizza!

Ballast Point in Little Italy

We recently did the floors in yet another local brewery location! This time at Ballast Point in Little Italy.  This brewery and restaurant had existing concrete with tile marks throughout. Brian's crew applied Fast Stain throughout the restaurant, Acid Stain on the exterior patio concrete and in the brewing area installed Urethane Cement in Straw.

 

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.

 

 

Pool Deck in Pt. Loma

This residential pool deck needed a reseal just in time for summer!  Gil was the project consultant on this job and Drew did the work. The 11-10 system in Deep Tan and Camel which gave the area a refreshing look. 

Residential Makeover, Inside and Out

Here is a job where the customer was looking to update the interior and exterior of the home.  They chose our Liquid Dazzle epoxy flooring system for the interior.  For the pool deck, a Water-Based Stain system was applied to the exterior area.

Interior Acid Stain in a Beautiful Church.

San Rafael Church with Acid Stain interior concrete floors and sealed with a polyurethane topcoat.

Tough Floors for a Local Brewery

Any craft beer enthusiast has probably heard of Societe Brewing Company.  Life Deck installed a heavy-duty gray urethane cement topcoat to give their brewing room floor a chemical-resistant and easy-to-clean finish. In Societe’s tasting room, the floors were acid stained in a warm walnut shade and then protected with a polyurethane sealer. Be sure to stop in and check out this up and coming brewery next time you are in the area!

Before and After - A flooded house!

The home you see below was flooded by a broken pipe and the entire first level flooring was damaged, including the tile, carpet and laminate in every room.  The insurance company called us in for an estimate and project manager Jeff Marshall saw the extent of the damage.  Luckily the concrete slab was still intact and and the customer was interested in something durable as well as bright and modern.  After pulling up all the damaged flooring, the existing surface was prepped then troweled smooth and Acid Stain was applied in Canyon on the entire first level of the home, including the living room, family room, kitchen and dining area, playroom, and office.  A perfect example of how you can update your home with a beautiful concrete stain.
