Benefits of Concrete Staining in Northwest Florida

You might be looking at various ways to improve the look of your home’s exterior, like pressure washing siding, repainting shutters, and updating the landscaping. One area of homes that is often overlooked and can instantly make a remarkable improvement is concrete staining and epoxy coatings. It’s important to maintain and protect these surfaces in Northwest Florida’s hot, humid climate.

Why choose concrete staining? There are several benefits.

1. Permanent color is achieved. The stain bonds tightly to the surface and can create a texturized aesthetic. Professionals advise homeowners to add epoxy coatings that protect walkways and driveways with a non-slip, stain-resistant finish.
2. Color choices: Stain is tinted in many colors to complement your home’s exterior, lawn furniture, deck, and other outdoor features.
3. Won’t peel like paint. The concrete stain will very slowly wear, but it will not peel as paint does. *As mentioned above, an epoxy coating will prevent the wearing away.
4. Concrete stain soaks in. Paint does not penetrate the surface of the concrete but instead forms a film that dries and protects it from the elements. Due to this, the paint will sometimes peel. This does not occur with concrete stains, which will soak into the concrete’s tiny holes or pores. Stains go deep and last much longer.
