Huge improvement in the way your patio looks and the Mojave perfectly complements color of your house! I'm looking for a similar color, perhaps a little lighter, sand-type, shade. I'll check out their other stain colors. Great info and straight to the point!
Thanks for the great video! I'm going to be doing this soon. Also, I had those same pants.........in 1993. Once again, thanks!
Good job! I like the look, adds a lot of "life" to your patio!!
Excellent information on the process for staining a driveway. Thanks for sharing the various tools and products to use.
This is exactly the video I was looking for. 👍 Isn't it amazing how he just can be useful years after the fact you make a video!!
My husband and I just put in a concrete paver patio and looking to stain the pavers. This is excellent for what we are looking to do to warm up the look of the concrete.
Great video. Very informative. Showed the steps he used through the entire process. Very useful and gave me an idea for repairing some damage one of the stucco repair guys caused by not know ing how to use a power washer. He was trying to just wash away grit and dirt but aggressively applied the power washer directly on the concrete and blew away all the surface fine fish leaving exposed coarser aggregate wherever the power washer was used. He didn't try to do his work uniformly so my patios and driveway ended up with random streaks of scarred concrete wherever the power washer wand strayed. It looks terrible! I have a mess to repair and this looks like the perfect solution. Great idea and video. Thanks.
That's a great job what your did, well explained. Thanks a Lot! 😎👍
I'm a widow and learning to color and seal my patio. Hope it turns out. Your looks lovely 😍
Thanks a lot for great video clip .Thx for not using any background annoying music ,loved your excellent presentation.
Well done 👏🏻. You gave us the confidence to do this ourselves instead of spending thousands on a job that would most likely turn out....meh...Thank you for posting the video!
did it work out?
Our Cottage of a home we dwell in has similarities to something designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. This will finally be the time that I stain our cement walkways with a Cherokee Red as a nod to the master. Your video is extremely helpful. Ironically I just purchased a 3300 PSI gas power washer for our boat, outdoor furniture etc. Anyone that has ever owned or rented a power washer knows how it goes, you end up power washing everything you own. It’s quite addictive and the perfect tool for this cement staining project.
Looks great man. I'm researching videos because I want to stain my front walkway to up curb appeal.
Thank you for sharing this because I’ve painted my patio before and it hasn’t lasted.
I’ve heard you mention that you’re from Buffalo. I’m from Erie so I appreciate your warning about planning on good weather to complete this project.
Your patio looks very nice! You did a good job!
Again, thank you for a calm thoughtful teaching method and for sharing how to make a patio transformation. May God Bless you!!!😊
Great video! Thank you for your explanation!
Nice job. Thank you. Looks great and I like the colour.
This was really interesting to watch I appreciate you sharing! May try this on my back patio
Instructions u gave were excellent. My question for the manufacturer is how long would you expect this to last? I live in CA where it doesn’t snow but can get in the upper 90’s in the summer.
Amazing video. Way to tell a story. I’m so looking into this. Thank you.
Great job on this video. Very descriptive and helpful!
Love you presentation. Thank you!
It's beautiful
Looks perfect great job thanks for sharing ❤
Those britches are stylin!
Outstanding!!
Wearing burgandy tiger Zubas ,Priceless!
Very enjoyable video. Great presentation. That crack .........please, please, please repair the crack before staining.
Looks awesome ....
This is wonderful thank you very much ,l will do the way you did it .
Thank you for explaining.
Great video.... thanks!
Great product... Great prep work too! I just can't believe that you would not fix the long crack first.
Amazing video. 😊 Thanks
Nice vid matey. Thank you.
That’s a very elaborate job. I simply vacuum and sweep the area and roll the stain without any extra steps. I do my lanai, drive and walkway every couple of years. I only use sealer for the drive and walkway because they get direct sunlight.
What kind of stain do you use?
@@berniebelzer I used Lowe’s water based stain. They can mix to any color you like.
great job
Great job looks nice.
Thanks!
Omg this is my house! I have a huge lot like yours, but a 3x3 section of concrete in need of a fixing! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you for posting; this was extremely informative and I'm looking forward to staining my driveway in the next couple of weeks. I was going to pass the job off to my kid but now I know this needs to be taken care of personally.
It looks 100% better.
Awsome video.
Can I do indoor floors instead of spending on tiles or other floors overlap.
I love the Bills Zubaz💪
Sweet Zubaz!
Awesome thank you! I’m looking to do my ugly back concrete patio . This is so helpful
Will be keen to see how this has aged in 2 years
Great job, well done, please draw a breath sometimes. Thank you for sharing.
BUFFALOOOOO! great job!
Ey ey ey ey!!!
That looks sick
I have a fence surrounding my patio and in some spots the concrete is very close to the fence. If I used the acid and spray it off will that damage my fence? If so, can I just cover the fence with protective plastic? Thank you for the great video!
Get yourself a Karcher 15” pressure washer attachment. It’s life changing
I like how it seems to still look like regular, flat concrete, not painted.. would you say that this is the case? we just had colored concrete poured and after some overworking due to drying fast on the crew, we may end up staining it to get the color we wanted (which happens to look just like this color you used)
Thank you for the video. I never knew about this technique or product till now. I have old and new concrete right next to each other that are different tones and colors. will this blend them together or should I use epoxy paint? Thanks
Excellent and informative but ultimately I come here for the fashion.
How does it look now after a few years?
4 years later, how is this holding up?
Everybody posts how it looks when it's new.we won't feedback.
Just found your video. Could you do an update to see how the patio looks after 4 years?
Well done, could you put grass turf in the seams of your cracks to go get it more design appeal? Will it stay? If so, how?
Awesome 👌 great job do they sell different colors as well.
Would this work on stamped concrete? Our cement guys put the wrong release(Terra Cotta) on our stamped concrete so we had them pressure was it off the next day and now it’s left looking like a peach color😱 we wanted it to match our Mojave patio deck🤦🏻♀️Do you think this can be used over the Terra Cotta(which hasn’t been sealed btw) to match our existing patio?
Nice work,,
Like any outdoor patio,,can you power wash this after a year or two ??
Good video, thanks for the time and work making it
Nice job ! I’ll be doing my front and back porch when the painters finish the exterior. Probably stain the exposed slab edge around the house as well to give it a finished look. Thanks from New Orleans 🎭
I'm in the process of doing my carport, Is a bonding primer neccasary after cleaning and etching
Liked demo. Now you can open the windows and put some French doors or sliding doors.
moved into a new build and front patio/entrance has some paint marks and scratches due to things being dragged in. Thinking of doing a light gray stain... do you think this would help with covering the paint marks/scratches??? its broomed finished concrete so also kinda sucky to look at every time we come in lol.
Tackling my driveway this year. Thinking of getting this done after I level it out and seal up the cracks.
Does this stuff peel off after a few years?
It’s a stain so I don’t think so. I did see some mentions that if you’re doing a driveway make sure it’s had time to cure and not run certain types of soft rubber tires over it.
Do this apply for the inside of the house too. I'm planning on taking my carpet up and staining my floors.
AA. Probably the only thing I remember from chemistry lab. Add acid.
Great Video! Just curious, do you know how stain compares to paint as far as it being slippery when wet? I had a painted front porch once and when it got wet it was a nightmare as it was so slippery. When your stained patio gets wet, is it any more slippery than it was prior to being stained? Thank you.
The stain doesn't buy your sealer might.
Zubaz for the win
great job!great video breakdown, so how is it holding up? how much for that particular stain and amount? also, any difference y you couldn't just paint it that color using a concrete special paint? thanks!
he stated at the beginning do not paint
Now the BIG question: is it cheaper and easier to simply add the color to the cement before pouring the slab initially (if the slab doesn't already exist), or it it best to do it later as you did?
Way better, easier, cheaper to do before the slab is poured . I wished I knew for that for mine.
I want to know if the acid did not affect the lawn?? If it's that dangerous, does it not run off onto the lawn? How do you dispose of the excess acid on the slab or does it just evaporate?
What if you want to remove the stain in the future or stain a different color on top?
Can you use a garden sprayer for application?
don't get acid on those zumba's haha, go bills! how is this holding up? do you get color on your shoes after walking on it? I have an enclosed porch, so it won't get rained on to wash the excess off...guess i could mop it after
Those are my church pants. No way I’d get acid on em.
I didn’t get color on my shoes. You may not get the same dulling of color I did with the elements but I was happy for that as it was too Orange out the gates but with time looks much more natural. I still would have gone with a more natural neutral color if I could do it again.
I have stamped concrete, can you stain it? I want a different color.
I wonder what this would look like if you repaired the crack first, meaning if it would hide the crack or make the repair look even worse
Can I do this process on a 40 year old painted concrete patio?
If you were to add sealer, when would you add it?
Hi. I did notice that the products you showed in the video, are not the ones under review products icon on the screen. Are the products you used, no longer the ones you recommend?
Should that crack have been repaired before application?
Did the grass around the slab get effected by the chemicals
Thanks Eric for your video. I ground with a diamond grinder and managed to gouge
some places and wondered how to fill them level so that they can take the stain. Do you have any product recommend to fill small cracks and gouges that will take the stain ?
Good question. If you look in the comments there is the company deco Crete supply. Their customer support was helpful if you want to call and ask them.
@@ProBuyersGuides Thanks
Can I stain bluestone and or the grout?
What is the steps for staining indoors?
Can you apply the stain with a pump sprayer?
Dose stain peel off or it’s pour through the cement? Thanks
Looks good, but why didn't you repair the crack?
Sorry if I missed it in the video but why do you 'definitely not want to' paint concrete? I thought it was pretty commonplace to paint concrete. Cheers.
Did any of the products damage your lawn?
I want to stain my concrete for my son to make basketball court. What type of paint should I buy?
Nice work ! How long does it last ? I think it’s been about a year so curious to know your thoughts on it
It's holding up well. I do have one small patchy spot, not sure if it's wear/tear or I just didn't stain it well enough there.
Your patio looks nice. I thought with staining you had to neutralize? I had a concrete person tell me he used baking soda.🤔?
Did the acid mess with your lawn or plants at all?
Can this stain concrete patio pavers?
What if it's a fresh poured slab? Is it better to strain wet ? And do i still need to do the acid step if slab is fresh?
Let it cure. Wait at least 3 weeks
Sick pants bro
Are you able to power wash the stained surface area?
Yes you can! Although because it is a stain, you want to be cautious about how close to the surface you get with it.
