How would you define a “man cave?” According to the Oxford Dictionary, a man cave can be defined as “a room or other part of a home used by a man as a place to relax and pursue hobbies away from the rest of the family.” Generally speaking, man caves are limited to just the garage. In such habitats, men can be spotted working and sweating outside in a space designed for loud music, car maintenance and home repairs.
For generations, such spaces have been limited to elbow grease, an old stereo and cold beer. Nowadays, however, men are evolving into sophisticated creatures that enjoy the finer necessities of life. Air conditioning, an outdoor refrigerator, high end work benches and power tools – what’s left to be desired by the male breed?
If we may be so bold – we suggest upgrading the floor of that man cave from a dirty, oil stained concrete floor to a high end and beautiful Polyurea floor coating! Women – you’ll be proud of your new, beautiful garage floor and feel peace of mind knowing that he can’t stain or damage his “approved” play area of the home. You now have much greater control of his outdoor environment and he will presume that the floor coating was always his idea.
This is classified as a “win win” in modern Psychology and leaves both parties feeling content with their purchase decision. Take our advice – buy your man a upgraded floor coating. Your house, garage and man will thank you **(remember the key point – let them think it was still their idea).
Prior to installing any of our Polyurea floor systems – we always take diligent care to “prep” our concrete surface. This involves mechanically grinding your concrete surface to remove the top layer of concrete and expose a fresh aggregate for adhesion to our Polyurea Base coat.
The Cost of Floor Decals: Old School versus New School
Men, are you a proud fan of a sports team or the creator of a business that you want to represent? As you might’ve guessed, adding a floor logo to your concrete floors is a great way to show off your pride and boost the “cool factor” of your man cave! However, prior to the creation our revolutionary Polyurea Floor Coatings (developed by Penntek Coatings) installing a floor decal was expensive and difficult.
The old school method of installing a floor decal required the use of powered hand tools to etch a design into the concrete surface. During this process, the floor needed to be carefully etched(because any etch is a permanent engraving in a concrete surface). After creating the lines of the design, the concrete artisan then stained the concrete surface with various dyes and pigmentation. The design had to then cure and be sealed for long lasting protection.
As you might’ve guessed, this process is very time consuming and you’re paying for a all of the time required for that concrete artisan to install his design. This high price tag is often out of reach for most residential projects – hence the need for an alternative product…
One amazing benefit of our Vinyl Chip System is our ability to apply Vinyl Decals. These decals are great ways to customize your Polyurea floor coating! These decorative pieces are protected by our Polyurea Top Coat – which provides long lasting protection for your entire flooring system!
Our Method is Much Cheaper and Faster
Luckily, our method of installing a floor logo is simpler and much more cost effective. Because our products are installed in 3 steps: Polyurea Base Coat, Vinyl Chip Flakes & Polyurea Top Coat – we can install floor logos seamlessly without slowing down our installation crews. How do we do it?
As seen in our images from this Garage Floor Remodel – our teams install a vinyl decal right on top of our Vinyl Chip Flakes (before sealing the floors with the Polyurea Top Coat). All we need is the Vinyl Decal to lay onto our Vinyl Chip Flake (prior to sealing with our Top Coat). It’s as easy as that!
Designed With a High Level of Durability
Essentially we are just adding another Vinyl component to our Vinyl Chip Flake process. Why do we put so much emphasis on Vinyl components? Well, for starters, our floor are designed to retain a high level of flexibility throughout the lifetime of our floors. Our floors are capable of being mended and repaired – even years after their installation.
We put so much faith in our floor products that we offer a 15-year residential & 5-year commercial warranty on all Polyurea floor installations. This is an unheard of guarantee in our industry. It’s our way to insuring that our clients receive the maximum level of protection. It’s also our way of delivering the highest quality service for floors that are designed to out last and out perform the competition!

Who says that you have to have two different types of deck material for your outdoor living space? Certainly not us! Gone are the days of selecting a concrete deck for the surrounding pool deck and another material for the outdoor kitchen. If you keep up with current design trends, you’ll notice there is a lot of emphasis on uniformity with color and material selections. Just like this client, it looks fantastic to have a uniform layout in your outdoor living space to tie the two spaces together!
We are big believers in creating unique concrete surfaces that are sure to blow away your friends and family! 1 Day Coatings is capable of installing our products on all concrete surfaces! Just like this backyard installation, we can install our products on both concrete flooring and even counter tops! You provide the concrete and we provide the coatings. It’s a unique relationship that lets us protect your concrete surfaces while providing a high quality product that enhances your lifestyle.
Worried about the mess? Don’t be! Our Polyurea products exhibit tremendous cleanup ability. From cooking out on that grill with a dripping, greasy mess to working on your car in the hot garage – our floors hold up tremendously in hard working environments. That means you can live your life and not worry about grease or oil stains as well as a wide array of problems associated to exposed concrete surfaces! 1 Day Coatings can help you enhance your life while making your indoor and outdoor living spaces look more beautiful!
Backyard Renovations: We Make It a Breeze
Do you have a backyard that you are itching to get your design hands on? We’ve all been there: you recently purchased a home that has a backyard you’d prefer to rip out than live in. Or maybe you’ve lived so much life in that space that it’s just worn down and in need of some serious TLC.
Whatever the reason, our teams are capable of applying our Polyurea floor coatings directly onto your existing concrete surfaces. That’s a money saving venture! Rather than pay a contractor to rip out your existing concrete and replace it with a completely different material – we can just resurface that concrete deck!
If you’ve browsed the concrete market for renovation contractors, you’ll understand that concrete work can be expensive! Concrete is one of the highest priced commodities in the construction industry and ripping out and replacing that existing concrete surface can easily be out of the question! That’s one of the reasons that we advocate our products so much. These products let us use what you got and transform it into something new!
Cracks? Not a Problem!
If you have an existing concrete surface, are you worried about applying our products because of some existing cracks in the concrete? Don’t be! If you haven’t heard this before, you’ll hear it from us. “There are two types of concrete: cracked concrete… and concrete that will crack…” It’s almost a guarantee in today’s environment.
The fact is that in our hot Texas environment, our earth moves. North Central Texas is home to a wide array of clay soils that expand and contract all throughout the year. Dry seasons, wet rains, heat and chill – all of these conditions can wreak havoc on your concrete surface. The benefit: we have the products to repair your existing concrete and apply our Polyurea floor system directly on top of it!
We utilize some impressive products such as a our CR Mender to fill and repair existing concrete cracks. The CR Mender fills the voids of the cracks and creates an extremely durable fill material. Once filled, we can apply our Polyurea Base coat directly onto our now “smooth” concrete surface.
As you can see from our images, our team just completed another outdoor renovation on this swimming pool deck and outdoor kitchen! By the looks of it, we completely transformed this backyard and covered both living spaces with the same material. Just as we said (above), selecting the same material for both backyard zones creates a uniform layout that is both beautiful and functional!
So what all went into renovating this pool deck?It can’t have been as easy as just applying our products and calling it a day, right? You’re exactly right – our crews are diligent about “prepping” our work spaces to protect surrounding areas so we only get our products on things that we want to apply them to. Makes sense, right?
As you can see from our images, we diligently covered the swimming pool with tarps and tape and went about surface grinding the concrete deck. We mechanically grind all concrete surfaces to remove the top surface of concrete and expose a fresh layer for our Polyurea Base coat to adhere to! This is a scientific process developed by our manufacturer, Penntek Coatings, which we are a certified installer for!
Putting The Finishing Touches on the Outdoor Kitchen
Some areas of this renovation project required a little bit of elbow grease! Take this outdoor kitchen for example. There is a beautiful pergola roofing that houses this outdoor kitchen. Additionally there was a epoxy coated concrete counter top that our client wanted us to renovate. Because we can’t just set our commercial grinder on top of the concrete countertops – we had to work with a bit more tact and utilize a hand grinder to remove the epoxy surface before applying our products.
This isn’t the first time that we’ve been called on to remove epoxy surfaces. No sir! In fact, removing epoxy surfaces is a call tag that we are known for. Unfortunately, it’s commonplace for some home owners to branch out and purchase epoxy materials on their own or pay a contractor to install these products. Generally speaking, epoxy sounds great in principle but it rarely looks as good as you hoped it would after it is installed. It’s difficult to create a consistent color and there is a potential for chipping down the road.
Because so many home owners are tired of their existing epoxy surfaces, they give us a call and we remove them – then proceed to apply our 1 Day Coatings products! Do you have an existing epoxy surface that you want renovated? Or do you have a backyard that you want to flip to create something stunning and new? If so, we invite you to fill out our Instant Estimator form so that we can give you a free, no obligation estimate for our services!
How much work have you put into your home to upgrade your living spaces? Have you recently installed some wood flooring, modern cabinets, a theater room or a swimming pool? Home ownership is a blessing that we should all cherish. However, there comes a point in all of our ownership experiences when we want to change some things out.
Maybe it’s a new kitchen, bathroom or bedroom. With all of the possible choices for home investment, have you thought about your outdoor living space? Before we lose you and you click to some other site – let’s first talk about it! How often are youcurrently outside? Now, pretend you could upgrade your back patio or backyard and max out the upgrades – how much time would you spend outside?
If the answer changed from “not much” to “a lot more” then we need to talk! Many of our clients spend most of their time indoors. The reason being – they don’t have a back patio or outdoor living space worth spending time in. Let’s face it, most homes are built with builder grade concrete patios and no outdoor accessories. Often these spaces are uncomfortable, hot and not much fun to spend time in.
Save Money & Upgrade Your Outdoor Living Space!
But with 1 Day Coatings – all of that can change! Let’s face it, most of our outdoor living spaces have to have some kind of flooring. Whether it be a concrete surface, brick or travertine pavers or something else entirely – you have to have something to walk on. *To categorize ourselves, it’s important to point out here that our products can only be applied to concrete surfaces.
If you plan on renovating your outdoor living space, then one of the items sure to be on your shopping list is resurfacing the concrete deck. And yes, this can be a costly upgrade – especially if you elect to install stamped and stained concrete or a natural stone paver surface. However, by electing to upgrade your floors to our Polyurea Floor Coatings – you can save money, time and wind up with a higher quality surface that is backed by our Residential or Commercial Warranty! Not only do we install fabulous products but we protect that investment for 10-years on all Residential installations and 5-years for Commercial installations.
Now, let’s talk about cost! Many home owners begin to get a little fidgety when discussing price, but what if we told you that our products could help save you money? That may seem a bit confusing, but that type of thinking is generally related to some bad experience you’ve had with another home contractor.
At 1 Day Coatings we want you to rest assured that we are built on honest, old fashioned values and we deliver exceptional value with all of our products! Just give us a shot and fill out our Instant Estimator form today!

Check Out This Back Patio Restoration!
As you can see from these images, our team just completed another Back Patio Restoration at a residential home. This was another Brandon & Coe masterpiece and by this point, we’re developing a large portfolio of their finished work!
This back porch is a smaller size that required some crack repairs prior to installing our Polyurea Floor Coating. To complete the repairs, our crews utilized the CR Mender, developed by Penntek Coatings. This product is excellent at concrete adhesion and helps to fill the crack and provide a hard, durable surface for our Polyurea Base coat to adhere to.
Upon completion of our CR Mender application, we applied our Polyurea Base coat and generously distributed our Vinyl Chip Flakes to create our stunning color. In fact, it looks like Brandon & Coe got a little creative with their dispersion techniques. Did somebody ask for the Vinyl Chip Flake fairy?

Whew! If you live in Texas, then you know just how hot is is outside! These two hombres have poured out some sweat over the weekend to install this beautiful polyurea chip system on a curved driveway in Wichita Falls, TX.
Prior to our arrival on this project, this concrete driveway has undergone years of structural duress. Cracks, pits and fractures spanned across a major part of this curved driveway – the owners were forced to make a decision. Did they want to replace the damaged sections of this driveway, or could they save some money by repairing & resurfacing the structure?
This question often leads our clients to collect a wide assortment of bids from local contractors in their area. They are flooded with prices, a lot of statements guaranteeing work and a ton of options for replacement material. The options can be overwhelming and often the solution is based on the affordability of the product.
In our circumstance, our client came across our Polyurea Chip System and felt it was right for them and their home! By selecting our revolutionary branded product, developed by Penntek Coatings, we were able to repair their concrete, completely resurface it and get a 15-year Residential Warranty protection; all for less than the cost of replacing their concrete surface!
All in a Good Day’s Work!
Our installers for this project were a crowd favorite: Brandon, Coe & John. John is a lead installer for our company and has been with us for several years now. Thanks to his hard work, we’ve been able to grow our business from his quality installations. Now we have the blessing of training these two rising-star installers to produce some amazing work for our clients!
As you can see from our aerial shot, this driveway had a very large surface area with landscaping on both sides. In these instances we take extra precaution to apply our products carefully and not damage surrounding areas (such as grass, landscaping or other surrounding materials).
Luckily, our products allow us to create a detailed finished from the way we install them. Using both a squeegee mop for wide surface areas and a putty knife for edging, our crews can install our products quickly and carefully. Thanks to our Polyurea Top Coat system, we can literally apply our top coat and “mend & bend” the top coat / chip undercoat to edge and finish off nicely! This is a unique aspect about our flooring solutions that you may not find with other flooring contractors.
Don’t Replace That Old Concrete – Repair It With our CR Mender!

Create a Unique Outdoor Living Space
We believe that our Polyurea floor coating is the perfect solution for your outdoor living spaces. These areas of the home are often subject to high amounts of foot traffic and accidental spills from liquids and food.
In addition, back patios and porches are gathering spaces for family and friends to enjoy time outdoors together. Isn’t it important that your floors avoid any and all types of grease stains from cooking outdoors? We certainly think so and believe that you’ll love the low maintenance aspect of our product line!
Did you know that all concrete surfaces are naturally porous? It’s true! Concrete by nature has thousands of microscopic channels or cavity left over from installation. Water, oils & grease are capable of imbedding themselves into these cavities and creating stains in your back patio. The scary part is once these agents have imbedded themselves in your concrete, the chances of removing the stain is little to none.
Polyurea – The Perfect Solution for Grease, Stains & Foot Traffic
But not with our Polyurea floor coating! Our product seals your concrete surface and allows for zero penetration to the concrete surface beneath. It also does not absorb oils, grease or water – which gives you the chance of cleaning your surface easily and with little worry! Peace of mind has a value associated with it and it often leads to relaxation and enjoyment!
Excellent for Comfort – Compared to Concrete Decks
Relating to the level of comfort that our floors provide your indoor and outdoor living spaces – just look at the makeup of our product. Our polyurea floor coating is comprised of several core ingredients to create the finished product.
Starting with the bare concrete surface, we first install our Base coat (polyurea) in a smooth even layer. This layer acts as a sealing and bonding agent for our Vinyl Chip Flakes to adhere to. Secondly, we apply our Vinyl Chip Flakes as layer #2 for our flooring systems. This layer is 100% customizable and is the way that we achieve our color and your specific design!
Lastly, we seal our flooring system with a Polyaspartic Polyurea Topcoat. This is layer #3 of our flooring system. Here we apply a clear finish that provides a top-level seal for our floors and provides exceptional protection that is backed by our superior warranty!
