General Information
Each concrete floor has unique characteristics. I will help you decide which colors will
look best on your floor. Then we can discuss a scoring pattern and size to use if any, and the
effects it has on the floors appearance. We will also discuss borders and border colors; a
border can be just a scored line, with the same color, or an additional color. Next we will
talk about final finishes. Remember you don't have to decide right away, during the cleaning I
can stain and seal a few samples on your floor for you to look at. Together we can explore
the full potential of your floor. You can be as involved in the project as you like, or leave it
all up to me.
Just give me a call or send me an email, I'll be happy to personally answer any questions.

FAQ for Stained Concrete
When should I stain my floor?
For new construction the preferred time to stain and seal your floor is
after the framing is dried in and before mechanical. Make sure the framers
use blue chalkline and not red chalkline. Also advise everyone not to eat
on the floor... cokes, fries, tobacco, ketchup, etc. will stain the floor.
Once the floor is stained and sealed it is protected. Additional floor
protection such an thermoply can be placed to further protect the finish,
and construction can continue. Our average time needed to complete a
project with minimal scoring is approximately 3-4 days.
Also let your concrete finisher know that you will be staining your floor
and not to "burn" the surface.
We will also be available to provide onsite samples usually under the
washer/dryer, refrigerator, cabinets, carpeted room or in the garage.
