Concrete Staining Contractors in Colorado— Rated & Reviewed
Concrete staining uses acid or water-based dyes to add color and character to existing concrete. Colorado pros offer both acid staining (for natural variation) and acrylic staining (for more consistent color). The stain bonds permanently to the slab; what needs periodic renewal is the protective sealer on top.

Concrete staining costs $2–$11 per square foot depending on the stain type and design. Solid-color water-based stains run $2–$4/sqft. Acid staining, which produces a marbled, variegated effect, costs $3–$7/sqft. Decorative multi-step techniques combining staining with sawcut patterns or scoring run $8–$20/sqft. A sealer coat is typically included in the quoted price.
- Stain type — water-based solid color vs. acid stain vs. semi-transparent dye
- Design complexity — solid color vs. multi-tone, scored patterns, or faux finishes
- Surface condition — bare new concrete is ideal; old floors may require more prep
- Square footage — indoor residential (200–600 sqft) vs. large commercial or driveway
- Sealer type — acrylic sealer vs. epoxy sealer vs. polyurethane topcoat
- Outdoor vs. indoor — outdoor surfaces require UV-stable sealers and more maintenance
What to Ask Before Hiring
- Ask for a test patch on your specific concrete — acid stain results vary by concrete composition and age
- Confirm the sealer type is appropriate for your use (traffic level, outdoor exposure)
- Ask about their process for protecting adjacent surfaces from acid stain splash
- Verify they will neutralize acid stain residue before sealing — skipping this causes sealer failure
- Ask how often the sealer needs to be reapplied — typically every 1–3 years for outdoor surfaces
- Request photos of completed acid stain jobs at 1–2 years old to evaluate how the color holds
