How we deliver stained concrete projects

  1. Step 1: Site walk + estimate - We review access, drainage, and scope so the estimate is accurate and clear.
  2. Step 2: Prep + base work - Proper grading, compaction, and reinforcement create a stable foundation.
  3. Step 3: Pour + finish - Clean edges, consistent slope, and the finish you choose.

Local planning details for Waco and nearby cities

  • Heat-safe application: We schedule staining when conditions support proper curing and color development.
  • Surface preparation: Existing concrete is cleaned and prepared so stain adheres properly.
  • Sealing for longevity: Sealer protects color from UV fade and makes cleanup easy.

Cost factors and scheduling expectations

Final pricing depends on access, base prep, drainage correction, slab thickness, and finish complexity.

Staining usually takes 1–2 days on site; curing and sealing add a few days before use.

Stained Concrete FAQs

How much does stained concrete cost in Waco?

Stained concrete typically runs $5–12 per square foot depending on prep, stain type, and sealing. Call (254) 230-3102 for a free estimate.

Acid vs water-based stain — which is better?

Acid stains produce rich, varied tones that react with the concrete. Water-based stains offer more color control and are easier to apply. We can discuss which fits your project.

Can you stain existing concrete?

Yes. We evaluate surface condition, clean and prep, then apply stain. Results vary with concrete age and condition.
