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
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
