Concrete Staining and Coating Services

Concrete stains are permanent and can last a lifetime with proper maintenance and care. How long concrete stains last also depends on factors like the type of concrete stain used, the stain application, the condition of the concrete, the weather it’s exposed to, and the amount of foot traffic it receives.

Regular vacuuming with a soft bristle brush and cleaning with a mild detergent and water is recommended to remove dirt, debris, and stains. Periodically applying a penetrating sealant or concrete coating to exterior stained concrete or coats of wax for indoor concrete can enhance the stain's color, and longevity, and provide additional protection against wear and tear.

The possibilities may seem endless when it comes to enhancing the beauty and durability of concrete. No matter what stain or coating option you land on, Five Star Painting has the expertise and tools to make your vision a reality.

Staining unlocks the potential of your concrete, providing:

• Effortless upgrades: Stained concrete adds instant visual appeal, turning a utilitarian surface into a design statement. Imagine a richly colored patio or a basement transformed into a stylish entertainment zone.
• Unique looks: Unlike paint's solid coverage, staining lets the concrete's natural texture shine through. Acid stains, for example, create stunning effects, making every floor one-of-a-kind.
• Investments built to last: Stains penetrate the concrete, creating a durable finish that resists fading, chipping, and wear. Perfect for high-traffic areas, both indoors and outdoors.

Thinking of giving your concrete a makeover? Staining, painting, and epoxy coating are all popular options, but each offers a different look.

Concrete Staining
Concrete staining services are a great way to enhance the natural beauty of your concrete. Stains penetrate the surface, adding a translucent layer of color that allows the texture to come through. Concrete staining services create a unique, earthy look that's perfect for patios, walkways, and even interior floors where you are looking to achieve an industrial look and feel. Concrete stains are also durable, UV-resistant, and easy to maintain.

Painting
On a budget? Painting concrete is a cost-effective way to achieve a solid color and hide imperfections. Unlike stains, paint sits on top of the concrete, offering a wide range of color options and complete customization. However, keep in mind that paint can chip, peel, and fade, especially in high-traffic areas.

Keep in mind: Before you opt for painting your concrete, understand it requires preparation a professional can handle with ease. If not addressed properly, bleed-through from rust, oil, and spots can cause paint discoloration and chipping. A painted surface may be slippery when wet and may show signs of chipping and peeling in high-traffic areas.

Epoxy Coating
Need a tough and glossy finish? Epoxy coatings create a long-lasting (and shiny) shield that uses epoxy resin to chemically bond with the concrete. Epoxy comes in a variety of colors, from clear sealers to decorative flakes and even metallics. Personalize your space as you see fit.

Looking for flawless results? Proper surface preparation and professional installation make all the difference for the best concrete coating finish. Need a consultation? We're here to help!

Looking for concrete coatings that are long-lasting and can cut down on maintenance costs? Select between epoxy, polyurethane, polyaspartic, and acrylic for your space.

Epoxy concrete coating

• Pros: Cheaper per square foot to apply compared to high-end concrete staining.
• Cons: Not suitable for basements with moisture issues.

Polyurethane coating

• Pros: Stiff and impact resistant; works well in areas with medium to heavy foot traffic.
• Cons: Relatively high cost. Not as alkaline resistant as an epoxy coating.

Polyaspartic coating

• Pros: Achieves a uniform finish in one coat that’s comparable to what epoxy and polyurethane can do in two. This can greatly reduce the time it takes to apply the coating as well as the cost of labor and materials used.
• Cons: Dries quickly and needs speedy application. To ensure a smooth finish, professional installation is highly recommended.

Acrylic coating

• Pros: Cost-effective and easy to apply.
• Cons: Much less durable than epoxy or polyurethane. You may need to buff or recoat the area more frequently, which could lead to more expense and maintenance down the line.
