Concrete staining transforms plain gray concrete into a richly colored surface with depth and character. Heritage Coatings offers both acid-based stains and water-based stains for garage floors, basement floors, patios, driveways, and commercial spaces.
Acid-based stains chemically react with the minerals in concrete to produce mottled, variegated, earth-tone effects that are completely unique on every surface. The colors are permanent and won't fade, peel, or chip because they become part of the concrete itself. Popular acid stain colors include warm tans, rich browns, terra cotta, and deep greens.
Acid stains chemically react with concrete for unique, mottled, earth-tone effects. Water-based stains provide more consistent, vibrant colors in a wider palette including blues and reds. Both are permanent and durable.
Yes. Concrete staining works on both new and existing concrete. The concrete surface must be clean and free of coatings or sealers for proper stain absorption.
Concrete staining starts at $2/sqft, depending on the stain type, area size, and whether sealing is included. It's one of the most affordable ways to transform concrete floors, patios, and driveways.
Sealing is recommended for stained concrete — it protects the color, adds durability, and makes the surface easier to clean. We offer matte, satin, and gloss sealer options.

Everything About Concrete Staining
Water-based stains provide more consistent, vibrant colors in a wider palette — including blues, reds, and custom colors that aren't available in acid stains. Water-based stains are also lower-VOC and cure faster than acid stains.
Both stain types can be sealed with clear protective coatings for added durability and easier maintenance. We offer matte, satin, and gloss sealer options to achieve the look you want.
