About Me

My name is Mike Day. I live in a small town in central Maine, close to the capital city of Augusta. I love Maine, it's a great place to raise a family, live, and work.

The four seasons we experience are all very different and very beautiful, making the concrete business fun and challenging.

I started working with concrete about 30 years ago, when I was a sophomore in high school. I worked for a company that did residential and commercial concrete floors. I would work summers, school vacations, and any school holidays that I could.

At that time I didn't know if working with concrete was going to be my career choice, little did I know. I continued working for this company, after graduating from high school, for another two years.

I went to a Tech school to try and figure out what I wanted to do the rest of my life, not knowing I was already doing it.

That company grew from a small residential/commercial concrete flooring business to a big commercial flooring concrete company. We were pouring hospitals, parking garages, schools, and malls all over Maine and New Hampshire.

I decided after about 6 years of doing that "BIG STUFF", and many visits to the chiropractor, that I wanted to be my own boss.

In 1986 I started my own company called Day's Concrete Floors Inc. Getting work at first was a challenge, I would drive around and stop at job sites, pass out cards, drive around some more, and eventually my business grew and grew.

At first all I did was concrete floors for houses and garages. But as I grew, the scope of work I did also grew.

I started doing a lot of stamped concrete for pool decks, patios and walkways. Concrete driveways became popular so I do a lot of them.

Acid stained floors, concrete overlays, concrete resurfacing and concrete repair were all added as the demand for each increased over time.

Over the last 30 years I've gained a lot of experience and wisdom. In this business you learn very quickly from your mistakes or you don't last very long.

I would like to share my knowledge with you through this web site and help answer any questions you have.

Concrete is not very forgiving, if something doesn't come out like you want, it can be very expensive to fix.

If I can help you learn about staining concrete, or how to pour a concrete slab, or any of the other topics, by reading the material I have on this site, then that will be great.

Please contact me if you have a question, I'll do my best to answer them.
