Frequently Asked Questions
How much does concrete staining cost in Texas?
Concrete staining in Texas costs $2 to $8 per square foot depending on stain type and surface preparation. Acid stains average $3 to $6 per square foot, while decorative multi-color applications run $5 to $10. A standard 400 square foot patio costs $800 to $2,400. Garage floors cost $1,200 to $3,000. Previously coated concrete requires stripping, which adds to the total cost.
What is the difference between acid stain and water-based stain?
Acid stain chemically reacts with minerals in the concrete to create unique, marbled patterns in earth tones like brown, tan, and rust. No two floors look identical. Water-based stains sit on top of the concrete and offer a wider color range including blues, greens, and grays with more consistent coverage. Acid stain creates a more natural look while water-based offers more predictable results.
How long does concrete staining last in Texas?
Properly stained and sealed concrete lasts 10 to 20 years indoors and 5 to 10 years on outdoor surfaces in Texas. The stain itself is permanent since it penetrates the concrete, but the protective sealer needs reapplication every 2 to 5 years depending on traffic and UV exposure. Texas heat and sun break down sealers faster than northern climates, so regular maintenance is important.
Can you stain old concrete in Texas?
Yes, old concrete can be stained as long as it has not been previously sealed with a non-breathable coating. The surface must be cleaned thoroughly to remove oil, grease, and efflorescence. Concrete in older Texas homes often has beautiful character that acid stain enhances. Previously painted or sealed concrete requires stripping or grinding before staining. A test area confirms the stain will penetrate properly.
Is stained concrete slippery when wet?
Stained concrete with a high-gloss sealer can be slippery when wet, especially outdoors. For Texas patios, pool decks, and entryways, contractors use anti-slip additives mixed into the sealer to create a textured surface. Matte or satin sealers provide better traction than high-gloss finishes. Always specify slip resistance requirements for any outdoor or bathroom concrete staining project.
How long does concrete staining take?
A professional concrete staining project takes 2 to 4 days depending on surface size and condition. Day one is surface preparation including cleaning and repair. Day two is stain application. Day three allows curing time, and the final day is sealer application. You can walk on stained and sealed concrete in 24 hours and place furniture after 72 hours. Outdoor projects depend on Texas weather conditions.
