If you have a few hours free during the weekend, then you have enough time to stain concrete floors yourself. This do-it-yourself project will result in floors you can be very proud of. When using an acid based stain you will also be getting a floor that is virtually maintenance free. The chemical reaction between the minerals in the floor and the acid in the stain make it so the color will not fade when faced with the elements, and will not peel from heavy foot traffic.
If this is the first time you will be staining concrete floors yourself, then it might be a good idea to invest in an all-inclusive concrete staining kit. These kits contain nearly everything you need to get started, and many even come with a step-by-step guide on how to do the whole process.
You should not be intimidated with this project, even if you are using an acid based stain. It is a great job for both new and experienced do-it-yourselfers to dive into. The key to working with acid, even a low level acid like in the stain, is to take all the proper precautions for safety. This includes wearing thick shoes, long pants, long sleeves, rubber gloves, and splash guard goggles.
Make sure you read up on process before hand, so you have an idea how it works before you start. If you are using a kit you will not need to worry about purchasing all the different materials, but if you do not then make sure they all work together. By this I mean only use a sealer that is recommended by the company who makes your stain. Most of the time the company you buy your stain from will be able to offer you both of these items together.
There is no reason for you to have ugly concrete surfaces any longer. With just a few hours of hard work you can have beautiful floors that people will mistake for very expensive stone.
