Concrete Staining
Concrete doesn’t have to be plain. With professional concrete staining services from Vital Coatings, you can transform ordinary surfaces into rich, custom-colored finishes that elevate the look of your entire space.
Serving Southeast Idaho, we help homeowners and businesses bring new life to patios, walkways, garages, basements, commercial floors, and more. Whether you want subtle earth tones or bold modern finishes, concrete staining offers the perfect blend of durability, beauty, and customization.
What Is Concrete Staining?
Concrete staining is a decorative treatment that penetrates the surface of your concrete, adding a permanent color. Stains penetrate deep into the concrete—unlike paint that sits on top—so the color lasts longer without chipping or peeling.
Depending on your style and space, we offer acid-based stains that create a marbled, variegated effect or water-based stains for a broader color palette and consistent coverage. Both options result in beautiful, one-of-a-kind floors.
Why Concrete Staining Is a Smart Choice
Permanent, UV-Stable Color
Stains are designed to last. Once applied and sealed, the color won’t wash away or fade from exposure to sunlight or weather.
Easy to Clean and Maintain
Stained concrete is resistant to dirt, dust, and spills. With a sealed surface, clean-up is easy and long-term maintenance is minimal.
Fully Customizable Looks
Whether you love soft earth tones or bold, modern colors, stained concrete can be customized to suit your unique style, ranging from rustic to contemporary, and everything in between.
Great for Indoors and Outdoors
Concrete staining is ideal for: Patios and walkways, Basements and rec rooms, Garage interiors, Entryways, Showrooms and offices, Pool decks
Our Concrete Staining Process
At Vital Coatings, we take pride in a job well done. Our team follows a detailed, professional staining process to ensure the best results on every project:
1. Inspection & Consultation: We start by inspecting your concrete to determine the best stain and finish for its condition and your design goals.
2. Thorough Cleaning: We clean the concrete surface to remove any dirt, grease, previous coatings, or sealers. This step is key to ensuring the stain penetrates evenly.
3. Stain Application: Next, we apply either an acid-based or water-based stain depending on your preference. Our team uses controlled methods to ensure uniform coverage and color depth.
4. Neutralization (For Acid Stains): If using an acid stain, we neutralize the chemical reaction before rinsing and preparing for sealing.
5. Sealing the Surface: To lock in the color and protect your surface from moisture, abrasion, and UV rays, we apply a high-performance, weather-resistant sealer.

Acid-Based vs. Water-Based Stains: What’s Right for You?
Acid-Based Stains
By bonding with the minerals in the concrete, these stains create unique, earthy tones that look natural and full of character. The effect is permanent and perfect for spaces where you want character and depth.
Water-Based Stains
For bold color and a more customized finish, water-based stains offer vibrant shades and precise results. Ideal for modern, bold, or uniform finishes, these stains are also eco-friendly and low in VOCs.
