Stained Concrete Experts

Color That Goes Deep Into the Slab

Stains penetrate concrete to create rich, mottled color that no paint or coating can match. Acid stains react chemically with the slab to produce earthy, variegated tones; water-based stains offer a wider color palette with consistent results.

We stain new and existing concrete - patios, pool decks, garage floors, indoor floors, and commercial spaces - then seal for long-term durability.

  • Acid stains for warm, variegated, natural-stone tones
  • Water-based stains for vibrant, custom-color finishes
  • Indoor floor staining and polishing
  • Pattern overlays and saw-cut decorative joints
  • Long-life sealing systems for indoor and outdoor use

Investment

What Affects Stained Concrete Cost

Factors That Determine Your Price

Every project is unique. Here are the main factors that influence your total investment:

  • Total square footage - larger projects benefit from volume pricing
  • Site preparation - demolition of old concrete, grading, drainage work
  • Finish type - broom finish, stamped, exposed aggregate, or decorative borders
  • Concrete thickness - standard 4-inch vs heavy-duty 6-inch for trucks or RVs
  • Access and slope - hillside or tight-access sites add complexity

Stained Concrete FAQ

Common Concrete Questions

Common questions about staining new and existing concrete.

Usually, yes. The slab must be clean, structurally sound, and free of sealers or coatings. We assess existing concrete during the estimate.
Acid stains give earthy, variegated tones and penetrate deeply. Water-based stains offer a wider color palette and more consistent results. We recommend the right system for your project.
Sealed concrete can be when wet. We add slip-resistant additives to outdoor and pool-area sealers.
The color is permanent because it is in the slab. Lifespan depends on the sealer - 2 to 5 years between reseals for outdoor, longer for indoor.
Acid stains are limited to earthy tones (amber, terracotta, blue-green, black). Water-based stains offer almost any color, including bright and custom shades.
