Hey Mike. This video really helps me out with the staining of concrete. I always have stayed away from staining. But as my small business grows I want to do more of this. I love this side of decorative side of concrete. You and your guys are great and I learned a lot from this videos. Keep up the good work.
Love it. Looks almost exactly to what we put on our basement floor. Stain is a good option for basements especially if a drain backs up, no carpet to worry about. You do good work Mike.
So glad I found your channel, Mike. I've got a big patio job happening in my yard at the moment. I've picked a stain color and realize I know nothing about concrete sealer finishes -- matte, gloss, semi gloss, low sheen, etc. If I don't try to gain a little knowledge myself, I don't know how to answer the question, "what do you want?" This is the scariest part for a customer -- this isn't what we DO, so it's hard to know what it is we want or what the options are.
Thanks so much for posting this. I've been wanting to redo the floor in my house for several years; it's covered with wood laminate (pergo) that's been damaged by several floods. By the time I was able to setup a drainage system outside that would prevent that, the damage was done. I had been thinking about putting ceramic tile or stone on the concrete so that it would resemble a stone floor, when I saw a friend's house who did what you demonstrated: Cleaned, stained and sealed his concrete pad. This is exactly what I want for my house and your video showed that it's something I could do, that I don't have to hire someone else to do it for me. I'll definitely check out the Concrete Underground, but this has been a great introduction to staining my slab!
I've recently subscribed to this channel and I make it a point to watch as many videos as I can. I've learned so much in a short period of time. Just to see you guys do the project from beginning to end. Man, The questions get answered before I can ask them! Thank You God Bless
@Time is Right idk man, I have a kid and I share his sentiment. Me and my wife are currently removing the flooring in our house one section at a time while living in it
I think It looks great, you do a excellent job explaining in your videos of how to etc. I'd say your channel pretty much covers it all, best concrete learning videos without a doubt.
Looks fantastic! Just the video I was looking for. We just had a paver company come out & lay some stone like pavers down under our pergola that’s flush with our back porch slab. I wanted to stain the concrete of the porch to blend it into the look of the cafe colored pavers.
****Beautiful!!! Love the leather-look... It's very unique and it looks really natural!🎉 I'm doing my outside terracotta and I didn't know how to do the spray pattern... I love this tutorial ... It's a piece of art! 💕🤗🌞
Our house flooded and our hardwood floors are ruined, which were refinished less than 2 years ago after a frozen pipe leak. I think this would be a great solution but insurance isn't paying for flood issues so I hope to eventually get all the warped hardwood up and have this done. Great video. Now I know what is involved when we have this done.
Looks great Mike! I love the variation in colors. I did not hear your suggestion on alternative cleaning methods. I'm thinking maybe acid washing. My DIY project is to restain my front and rear porches. The previous stain done by the previous owner has faded and worn away. I need to keep the anti-skid texture to prevent slipping on the floor when wet. So i will shy away from sanding/cleaning machine. But explain about the alternative cleaning method before i apply stain. Thanks! Donny
That looks really good! I actually would love to get a look similar to that in an outside environment. I'm looking to do a patio in the back with those quikrete molds. Is there anything about this process that would be done differently if it were new concrete, but outside instead of inside? Thank you in advance.
@Mike Day Concrete update: We couldn't get a stain for the floors. I live in a small town and had to order it. But we were able to grind back the floor of one room and just sealed it. Your video made the whole process so easy! While I would have loved to stain the floor (I will be staining the second one) the industrial feel of the raw sealed concrete worked surprisingly well! Old stains show and we didn't seal the cracks first and it actually looks pretty good. Now to see how well the sealer lasts hahaha
Very nice. Only thing I would have done differently is to cut some more lines to make it look more like large marble/granite plates. Great job always. FYI, I use someone your vids to give my clients ideas. So thanks for the visual selling aides.

Looks like an old leather bound book from 1800’s
Great look!
Well done!

Thank you!
Absolutely LOVE the color and finished look of this floor. Great job
Love the antiquing look! Good work, Mike

I love the look!! Always been a big fan of the stained concrete look.

Awesome, thank you!
I saw Brad Lancaster did this and yes it looks fantastic. Super efficient and aesthetically pleasing
this should be STANDARD on all new homes. Why have tile or carpet when you can have the foundation look like one contiguous piece of stone/marble?
When you have kids you’ll know why wood or carpet
@Time is Right idk man, I have a kid and I share his sentiment.
Me and my wife are currently removing the flooring in our house one section at a time while living in it
It feels empty, idk. I'll do it in my garage
Agree 💯!
I want to do this in my bedroom I have to rip up the carpet and remove the paint from the floor any advice. I want to use water based products
I think It looks great, you do a excellent job explaining in your videos of how to etc. I'd say your channel pretty much covers it all, best concrete learning videos without a doubt.
Love the contrast. Looks amazing.
Looks great.
Makes you feel good. When it all comes together
That looks FANTASTICAL!!
The floors look amazing!!! I would prefer a different color for taste, but man this is a knock out job!
Love it! Looks great! Reminds me of a style of architecture they use here in the Yucatan called the "Tulum method."
Love it! That's what I'm looking for in my dining room and kitchen.

Floor looks great, you guys did an awesome job! Would this process be essentially the same for outdoor concrete?
Beautiful work. Keep it up.

Appreciate it!!
Looks great guys 👌
Thanks! 👍
That looks dang GOOD I like it.
Thanks
Looks great. Love it
Thanks so much!
I love the results! However, I would have selected a gray or bluish shade for the stain.
Looks great! I think it gives the concrete a sorta marble look.
Looks great.
Looks nice !
Came out great
Very nice. Only thing I would have done differently is to cut some more lines to make it look more like large marble/granite plates. Great job always.
FYI, I use someone your vids to give my clients ideas. So thanks for the visual selling aides.
love it!!!
Beautiful!
Love it!
Nice....looks good!!!
It looks great. I have a job to do Monday I need those same product that was in the video
Awesome great video!
thank you for this video!
Great look!
Thanks Bill!
Nice look. Good job.
looks great, wondering how it would look in our dealership office here in the midwest where we get snow, does it get slippy?
Great video thank you!
Good video, thanks!
I like it looks pretty good
Looks like an old comfortable leather sofa! Nice job 👍
Thank you!
Hey Mike, thank you for the videos. Question:. Do I need to etch new 4-week old concrete or can I just use an acid stain?
