Concrete Staining in Brainerd & the Lakes Area, MN

Concrete staining is color that lives inside the slab instead of sitting on top of it. Because the color penetrates the concrete, it can't peel, flake, or chip the way a surface coating can. Beach Construction stains interior and exterior concrete throughout the Brainerd Lakes Area — floors, patios, basements, and entryways.

Acid stain vs. water-based stain

• Acid staining reacts chemically with the concrete to create rich, mottled, one-of-a-kind earth tones. No two slabs ever look the same.
• Water-based dyes give you bold, consistent, predictable color with a much wider range of shades.

We'll help you pick based on the look you want and how the space gets used.

Prep and sealing still matter

Stain only looks as good as the surface it goes onto. We clean and prep the concrete, address existing stains and residues, apply the color evenly, and finish with a sealer that protects the result and brings out the depth. For floors that see traffic, the right sealer is what keeps the color looking new.

Interior and exterior, planned around the weather

Stained basement floors are a favorite in Lakes-area homes — durable, easy to clean, and far warmer-looking than bare concrete. Outside, we stain patios and walkways, with exterior work scheduled around Minnesota's weather so the stain and sealer cure properly.
