The Concrete Staining Process
Preparing the Surface: We clean the concrete to remove any dirt, grease, or existing coatings, and repair any cracks or imperfections. It's an important step to ensure the floor is even, clean, and seamless.
Concrete Floor Staining: Once the surface is prepped, we apply the stain using professional techniques to ensure even coverage and penetration. We may use multiple layers or different application methods, depending on your desired effect.
Sealing: After the stain has dried, we apply a high-quality sealer to protect the surface and enhance the color. The sealer also provides a glossy or matte finish, depending on your preference.
Quality Inspection: We'll do a final inspection of the floor to ensure the completed project meets our standards. We'll walk you through your new floor and address any concerns you may have.
How to Maintain Concrete Stained Floors?
Regular Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris that can scratch the surface. Use a damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner for deeper cleaning. For residential spaces, aim to sweep at least twice weekly and mop once weekly. Commercial spaces may require daily maintenance.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the stain and sealer. Specifically, stay away from ammonia, bleach, vinegar, citrus cleaners, and any product with high acidity or alkalinity. These substances can etch the surface, discolor the stain, or break down the protective sealer.
Protective Mats: Use protective mats or rugs in high-traffic areas to reduce wear and tear. Place these at entrances to trap outside dirt, under furniture to prevent scratches, and in areas like kitchens where spills are common. Ensure mats have non-rubber backing, as rubber can trap moisture and potentially discolor your floor.
Resealing: Depending on the amount of traffic, your floors may need to be resealed every 2-3 years to maintain their appearance and protection. Residential floors with moderate traffic may last longer, while commercial spaces might require more frequent resealing. Signs that resealing is needed include water no longer beading on the surface, dull areas developing in high-traffic zones, or the appearance of small scratches.
OUR SERVICES
Residential Concrete Staining
Transform your home with our residential concrete staining services. Whether it's your basement, garage, patio, or driveway, we can enhance the beauty and functionality of your concrete surfaces. Our portfolio includes acid-etched stains, water-based acrylic stains, and penetrating micronized pigment systems. Each application can be finished with high-performance polyurethane sealers, epoxy coatings, or breathable siloxane sealers to achieve matte, satin, or high-gloss finishes that complement your architectural aesthetic and withstand Minnesota's seasonal temperature fluctuations.
Commercial Concrete Staining
Make a lasting impression on your clients and customers with our commercial concrete staining services. From retail stores to office buildings, we provide attractive and durable flooring solutions engineered for commercial environments. Our multi-component staining systems incorporate reactive metallics, UV-stable dyes, and polymer-modified overlays that meet ASTM D2047 slip-coefficient standards while offering exceptional resistance to foot traffic, rolling loads, and daily maintenance protocols. We specialize in decorative sawcuts, stenciled patterns, and custom logo integration to reinforce your brand identity.
Industrial Concrete Staining
Our industrial concrete staining services are designed to withstand the demands of high-traffic areas and heavy machinery. We implement specialized high-solids epoxy systems, polyaspartic coatings, and urethane cement overlays that provide chemical resistance up to pH 13, thermal shock protection, and impact resistance exceeding 160 in-lbs (ASTM D2794). Our industrial applications incorporate aluminum oxide aggregate profiles from 20-60 mesh for customized slip resistance, and can be formulated for USDA/FDA compliance in food processing environments or electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection in sensitive manufacturing settings. All systems include integral cove bases and proper termination details for seamless transitions.
