We can stain your existing concrete, or install an overlay over top of your broken concrete and stain that. Reactive stains are a unique architectural accent designed to color cementitious surfaces, using a combination of reactive metallic salts in waterbased solutions. The result is a permanent colorization, tinting or staining of the treated surface. Add multiple colors and patterns and you have a one-of-a-kind beautiful surface.
This beautiful back yard patio was first acid stained. Then, using different sized and shaped templates, we randomly placed the templates on the patio and engraved around them.

This walkout basement was the perfect area to apply an acid stain. However, after the carpet and tile were pulled up, we found cracks, paint, plaster, and tack holes. This needed to be fixed prior to staining. We ground the floor, pulled a skim coat of white polymer modified cement and then stained the floor and border. The circular brick and star were cut in front of the fireplace, a saw cut was made at the border and then two coats of concrete sealer were applied.
This is a wonderful example of the richness and beauty of acid staining. Once stained, the floor was cut to achieve the circular brick pattern and sealed to protect the surface and give it it's shine.
