Plain gray concrete can make a nice patio, garage, or shop floor look dull and unfinished. The slab may be in good shape, but the color is flat and cold.

Spartanburg Concrete Contractor stains concrete for homes and businesses near Spartanburg. We add rich color that soaks into the slab, so your floors and patios look warmer and more finished while still showing the natural concrete look.


What concrete staining is

Staining adds color to concrete that is already poured and cured. It is not paint. Paint sits on top and can peel over time. Stain works down into the surface, so the color holds up better and wears more evenly.

The finished look is deeper and more natural. Stain can soften old marks, even out the color, and give a plain slab a look closer to stone, marble, or leather.


Where staining works well

Stain works on most solid concrete surfaces that are clean and in decent shape. Common spots include:

  • Patios and porches
  • Garage and basement floors
  • Living areas with concrete floors
  • Walkways and entries
  • Retail and shop floors

If the slab has heavy damage, we may suggest repair or resurfacing first so the stain has a strong base.


Types of concrete stain

There is more than one way to stain concrete, and each gives a different look.

  • Acid stain reacts with the concrete to create marbled, one of a kind color. The tones are earthy and rich.
  • Water based stain comes in a wider range of colors and gives a more even, predictable finish.

We can walk you through both and help you pick the one that fits your space and the look you want.


Our staining process

Good staining starts with prep. We clean the surface, fix small issues, and make sure the concrete is ready to take the color evenly.

  1. Clean and prep the slab so old dirt and coatings do not block the stain.
  2. Apply the stain in careful layers to build the color you want.
  3. Seal the surface to lock in the color and protect it from daily wear.

Caring for stained concrete

Stained concrete is easy to live with. A little care keeps it looking good for years.

  • Sweep or dust mop to keep grit off the surface
  • Clean spills before they sit too long
  • Use a gentle cleaner, not harsh chemicals
  • Add a fresh coat of sealer when the shine starts to fade

Common questions

Is stained concrete the same as painted concrete?

No. Paint sits on top and can peel. Stain soaks into the concrete, so the color lasts longer and wears more evenly.

Can you stain an old concrete floor?

Often yes. As long as the slab is solid and clean, older concrete can take stain well. We check the surface first.

Will the color look the same everywhere?

Water based stains are more even. Acid stains give a marbled look that changes across the slab, which many people like.

Does stained concrete need to be sealed?

Yes. A sealer protects the color and makes the floor easier to clean, so we seal after staining.

Can staining hide cracks or damage?

Stain can soften light marks, but deep cracks may need repair first. We look at the slab and tell you straight.

Do you stain both floors and patios?

Yes. We stain indoor floors and outdoor patios for homes and businesses across Spartanburg.
