Concrete staining adds rich, translucent color that soaks into the slab instead of sitting on top of it, so the finish will not peel or flake the way paint does. It is a versatile way to turn plain gray concrete into a decorative, durable surface, and we offer both acid-based and water-based stains for homes and businesses across Knoxville, TN, and nearby areas.
Acid stains create marbled, earthy, one-of-a-kind effects, while water-based stains open up a broad, consistent range of colors. You work with a family-owned crew that brings more than 60 years of combined experience, uses commercial-grade products, and is licensed, bonded, and insured. Call (865) 388-2489 to talk through your floor.
Stain is not paint. Paint forms a film on top of the concrete that can chip, peel, and wear through. Stain penetrates the surface and becomes part of it, producing color with depth and translucency that holds up to traffic and resists fading. Because the color is in the concrete rather than on it, a stained floor keeps its look far longer than a painted one.
The two stain types create different looks, and we help you choose based on the space and the result you want.
Staining is where concrete gets creative. We can layer and blend colors, and add decorative techniques such as scoring, stenciling, borders, and custom logos to make a floor that fits your home or reinforces your brand. For a glossy, marbled look created with epoxy instead, compare our metallic epoxy, and explore tones and finishes on the color chart and finished work in the project gallery.
The same process adapts indoors and out.
Staining adds the color, and sealing protects it. After the stain cures, we apply a sealer to lock in the color, guard against stains and wear, and add the sheen level you want, from matte to glossy. For interior floors, the surface can also be polished for a smooth, high-gloss result. See our concrete sealing and concrete polishing pages, or the full lineup of concrete services, for the finishing steps.
The color goes into the concrete, not on top of it. That is why a stained floor still looks good long after paint would have peeled.
A great stained floor is the product of careful prep and the right finishing steps.
Assessment and quote. We review the concrete, discuss colors and effects, and provide a written quote.
Surface preparation. We clean the surface and strip old coatings, then patch and smooth minor imperfections so the color takes evenly.
Stain application. We apply acid or water-based stain, often in multiple coats, building the depth and pattern you want.
Neutralize and rinse. For acid stains, we neutralize and rinse the surface so it is clean and ready to seal.
Seal and walkthrough. We seal the floor to protect the color, let it cure, then review the result and care steps with you.
This service carries our 1-year warranty, with details on the warranty information page.
Because stain penetrates the surface rather than sitting on top, it resists fading and will not peel or flake like paint. Sealing helps protect the color over time.
Acid stains give marbled, earthy, unpredictable effects and do well outdoors. Water-based stains offer a wider, more uniform color range and suit interiors. We will help you decide.
Yes, in most cases. We assess the concrete first, since age, prior coatings, and condition affect how the stain takes.
Yes. Sealing protects the color and the surface, and we include it as part of the finished result.
