Acid Stained Concrete
A Cost-Effective Creative Expression
Short of native stone, nothing can compare with the textural richness and depth of color given by stained concrete which costs a tiny fraction of stone. And you have much more control over the colors and shading of the floor. Acid staining your concrete slab will add more value to your home or building, for less cost, than any other floor treatment.

With modest maintenance, your floor will look great for decades, as the stain permanently and chemically reacts with the concrete. Look at the photos on this site and you will get a feel for the range of expression that is possible. In addition, we can do company logos, family crests, and creative geometric designs in the floor for much less than comparable treatment in tile or terrazzo.
