Types of Concrete Stains

Concrete staining transforms ordinary concrete surfaces into visually striking floors through chemical reactions and specialized pigments that create permanent, distinctive coloring.


  • Acid-Based Concrete Stains: Acid stains penetrate concrete surfaces by reacting chemically with calcium hydroxide, creating rich, variegated earth tones like browns, tans, and terra cottas. These stains offer unique marbling effects that make each floor one-of-a-kind. The chemical reaction creates permanent colors that won't fade, peel, or chip over time.


  • Water-Based Concrete Stains: Water-based stains provide a wider range of color options, from soft pastels to bold primaries. We can apply these stains in solid colors or layer them for custom effects. Unlike acid stains, water-based options are non-reactive and work by penetrating the porous surface of concrete with fine particles of color. 



  • Application Considerations: Both types work effectively on indoor and outdoor surfaces, though acid stains typically offer better UV resistance for exterior applications. For commercial environments seeking brand-specific colors, water-based stains provide the precision and color-matching capabilities needed.

Benefits of Stained Concrete

Stained concrete has emerged as one of the most versatile and practical flooring solutions available today, offering a perfect balance of aesthetics, durability, and value. Here's why stained concrete continues to grow in popularity among discerning property owners:


Exceptional Durability


Stained concrete floors resist wear in high-traffic areas and can last decades with proper maintenance. The color won't chip or peel since it bonds with the concrete itself through either chemical reaction (acid stains) or deep penetration (water-based stains).


Low Maintenance


These floors require minimal upkeep - regular sweeping and occasional mopping keep them looking pristine. Unlike carpet or hardwood, stained concrete doesn't harbor allergens or require specialized cleaning products. For commercial spaces, this translates to significant savings in maintenance costs and labor hours. 


Cost-Effective


The cost-effectiveness stands out compared to other flooring options. Stained concrete eliminates the need for additional floor coverings while enhancing the existing surface. For new construction, choosing stained concrete from the outset eliminates the cost of additional flooring materials. 

Our Concrete Staining Process

  • 1. Surface Preparation and Safety

    We begin by thoroughly inspecting the concrete surface for cracks, holes, or damage that needs repair. Every imperfection is patched and leveled to ensure a smooth foundation.

  • 2. Application of Stains

    We test stain colors in an inconspicuous area to confirm the desired effect before full application. Our premium acid and water-based stains are carefully mixed to achieve consistent coloring.

  • 3. Finishing and Protection

    After the stains have fully reacted and dried, we neutralize the surface to stabilize the color. The floor is thoroughly cleaned to remove any residue.

Design and Application Areas

Professional concrete staining enhances both interior and exterior surfaces through customized designs and specialized application techniques. Our expert craftsmen transform plain concrete into stunning architectural features that complement any space.

Interior Flooring Solutions

We specialize in creating sophisticated interior concrete floors for residential and commercial spaces. Our staining techniques produce rich, translucent colors that penetrate deep into the concrete surface, revealing natural patterns and textures.



The staining process works exceptionally well in high-traffic areas like:

  • Living rooms and great rooms
  • Commercial lobbies
  • Retail spaces
  • Restaurant dining areas


We apply multiple layers of stain to achieve depth and dimension, creating unique patterns that cannot be replicated with other flooring options.

Exterior Concrete Features

Our exterior staining services enhance outdoor living spaces with lasting beauty and durability. The staining process seals and protects concrete while adding rich earth tones and custom color variations.



Popular exterior applications include:

  • Pool decks and patios
  • Driveways and walkways
  • Outdoor kitchens
  • Garden paths


We use specialized acid-based and water-based stains designed specifically for outdoor exposure. These products resist UV fading and withstand harsh weather conditions while maintaining their decorative appeal.
