Indoor Concrete Staining Cost Overview
Larger areas increase material and labor costs, impacting the overall price of concrete staining.
Different stain types, such as acid-based or water-based, vary in cost and complexity of application.
Preparation work like cleaning, grinding, or repairing concrete influences the total project cost.
| Factor | Estimated Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Basic Acid Stain | $3 - $7 per square foot |
| Water-Based Stain | $4 - $8 per square foot |
| Decorative Concrete Overlay | $8 - $15 per square foot |
| Surface Preparation | $1 - $3 per square foot |

The choice of stain type also affects pricing. Acid stains tend to be more cost-effective but may require professional application to achieve desired effects. Water-based stains offer a broader color palette and easier application, often at a slightly higher price point. Decorative overlays and custom patterns can substantially increase costs due to their labor-intensive nature and the skill required for precise execution.
Decorative patterns and custom designs can add visual appeal but may increase project costs.
Different stain colors and effects influence the overall expense, depending on complexity.
Textured or polished surfaces require additional work, affecting the final price.
