Ask DS Staining concrete floors

Postby wudduk » Mon Nov 21, 2016 5:58 am

Building a camp outside yazoo city and want to get the floors stained. Does anyone know someone who does it? Or has anyone done it themselves? I've watched some videos, I just dont want to screw it up. thanks

You should be able to handle that yourself? Especially easy if you were doing it before framing goes up.

Acid based stain in a 1 gallon garden sprayer. Make sure the sprayer has a cone or fan type tip for better uniformity.

Don't skimp on the sealer. Several coats.

Second for Crews. They have been at it a long time.

I re-sealed some in my old house. Very easy and I'm not a handy man at all. I can see where staining would be a little more complicated but not too much. As stated I can see it being much easier before any drywall or at least base board goes in.
I priced it in my new house to have it done after pulling up older flooring. Quote I got was about 3/sf to stain and score but I was going to need some surface grinding done to take off old flooring glue so stain score and grind was going to run me 6/sf plus having to basically deal with concrete dust everywhere. Went ahead and just put hardwood in. It was just too big a job for me to tackle in an existing home while living in it. I do love the look of stained concrete even if you have some imperfections it gives it some character.
