Concrete staining adds rich, translucent color to your concrete surfaces using either acid-based or water-based stains. Acid stains react chemically with the concrete to produce earthy, variegated tones; water-based stains offer a much wider palette of solid and accent colors including blues, greens, and reds.
Stained concrete is a beautiful option for both interior and exterior applications across Jacksonville and St. Augustine — restaurant floors, residential interiors, patios, lanais, and entryways. It enhances the natural character of concrete and can be combined with scoring or engraving for even more decorative possibilities.

Acid stain vs. water-based stain
Acid stains react with the lime in concrete to produce mottled, marbled, earth-tone color — typically browns, tans, ambers, and soft greens. The look is organic and slightly unpredictable, which is exactly why architects love it. Water-based stains are micro-pigments suspended in an acrylic carrier — they sit on the concrete surface and offer dozens of solid colors plus the ability to layer for custom blends. We use acid stain for natural-look residential interiors and patios, and water-based for bold commercial or brand-color projects.
Prep, stain, seal — the three-stage process
Every stain install starts with mechanical cleaning of the slab (diamond grinding or chemical-free buffing for existing finished concrete). We then apply the stain in two coats, let it react or dry, neutralize and rinse (for acid stain), and finish with a penetrating or topical sealer plus an optional wax or guard coat. The sealer is what protects the color and gives you the matte, satin, or gloss finish you want.
Staining concrete for Florida patios and interiors
Stain soaks into the concrete instead of sitting on top, so it won't peel when humidity or ground moisture moves through the slab. Outdoors, a UV-resistant sealer over the stain helps protect color from Florida's strong sun.
Staining pairs well with polishing indoors, and with slip-resistant sealers on patios that get wet from rain, sprinklers or pool splash.
