How long does concrete staining last?

A properly stained and sealed floor can last 10–20 years with routine maintenance. Resealing every 2–3 years keeps the finish looking fresh.

Can you stain old or damaged concrete?

Yes. We can apply a decorative overlay to resurface damaged slabs before staining, giving you a smooth, uniform canvas.

Is stained concrete slippery?

We add a non-slip additive to all exterior sealers and can include it on interior floors upon request.

How long does the process take?

Most residential projects are completed in 1–2 days. Larger commercial jobs may take 3–5 days depending on square footage and stain type.

Do you serve areas outside San Antonio?

Yes — we serve Boerne, Helotes, Fair Oaks Ranch, Schertz, Cibolo, New Braunfels, and surrounding communities.

Permanent Color. Natural Character.

What Is Concrete Staining?

Concrete staining is a permanent coloring process that penetrates deep into the slab — not a paint or coating that sits on top. The result is rich, translucent color with natural variation that gives every floor a one-of-a-kind look.

True Grit Surface Solutions uses professional-grade stains and sealers to deliver floors that are as durable as they are beautiful. Whether you want the warm, earthy tones of an acid stain or the bold, consistent color of a water-based system, we have a solution for your space.

Choose Your System

Stain Systems We Install

Acid Stain

A chemical reaction with the concrete minerals creates permanent, variegated earth tones — browns, tans, rusts, and greens. No two floors look the same.

Water-Based Stain

Dozens of consistent color options with UV stability. Ideal for indoor spaces where you want predictable, vibrant color without the natural variation of acid stain.

Decorative Overlay

A thin resurfacing layer applied over existing concrete before staining — perfect for damaged or pitted slabs that need a fresh, smooth canvas.

How We Do It

Our 4-Step Staining Process

Surface Prep & Cleaning

We grind, clean, and profile the slab to remove sealers, adhesives, and contaminants so the stain bonds properly.

Stain Application

Stain is applied by hand or sprayer in controlled passes. Acid stains are worked in for maximum penetration and natural variation.

Neutralize & Rinse

Acid stains are neutralized and thoroughly rinsed. Water-based stains are allowed to cure before the next step.

Seal & Protect

A commercial-grade sealer locks in the color and provides a durable, easy-to-clean finish — matte, satin, or high-gloss.

Versatile Applications
