Concrete Staining Service FAQs

What Must Be Done Before Applying Any Concrete Stain?

Here are the main steps that need to be taken before applying concrete stain:

• Strip and remove all previous sealers, paints, adhesives and coatings.
• Clean the surface thoroughly.
• For acid concrete stain, use a concrete etch and cleaner to prepare the surface and rinse well. Do not use muriatic acid to clean. It will destroy minerals which produce the color range of the stain selected.
• For water-based stain use dish soap and water to clean the surface. Degreaser and neutralizer diluted in a 4 to 1 ratio is ideal for removing oil spots.
• Finally rinse the concrete well.

If the concrete surfaces are so smooth or dense that it does not allow water to soak in it will require mechanical sanding to rough up the surface so it can receive the stain.

Which Lasts Longer Concrete Stain or Paint?

One of the greatest advantages of choosing stain over paint is that the stain penetrates concrete unlike paint that only covers the surface. As a result, concrete stain last longer than concrete paint.

How Long Does the Concrete Staining Process Take?

The duration of the concrete staining project depends on the size of the area and the complexity of the work. Generally, the process can take from 2 to 4 days. The actual staining is relatively quick, but the preparation and drying times add to the total project length.
