What stained concrete is, and why it works in Austin
Austin gets long stretches of strong sun, and that decides a lot about a stained floor. Indoors, stain gives a slab warm, variable color that stays put. Outdoors, on patios and pool decks, the sealer takes the beating, so we specify a UV-stable one and a matte finish for traction. Either way the slab is ground and repaired first so the color goes in evenly.

Stained Concrete and every New Era system in Austin
Whatever finish you choose in Austin, the work begins with full diamond-grind prep. Here is the range of systems we install.
Metallic Epoxy
Pigments swirl through clear epoxy while it is wet, so every metallic floor is one of a kind. Popular for showroom entries, bars and home garages.
Flake Systems
Broadcast flake gives the slab texture and a busy pattern that hides scuffs and footprints between cleanings. Full or partial coverage is your call.
Polished Concrete
Honed in stages with finer and finer diamond pads, polished concrete turns an ordinary slab into a reflective, easy-care floor for stores and warehouses.
Industrial Coatings
Built-up systems for warehouses and plants where forklifts, chemicals and constant foot traffic wear a floor down fast, chosen for years of daily use.
ESD Flooring
A grounded floor system that keeps static charge from building up where circuit boards, instruments and other sensitive gear are handled.
Stained Concrete
Translucent stain brings out earthy tones in an existing slab and is protected by a sealer, a lasting option for homes, restaurants and patios.

- Established 2015, Houston grown, English and Spanish service end to end.
Stained Concrete in Austin FAQ
Straight answers to what Austin homeowners and businesses ask us most about stained concrete, each with a quick way to reach us.
Can I park on a newly stained driveway or garage in Austin?
Give it a few days, sooner with a fast-cure system. Walking is usually fine after about 24 hours. Call (832) 253-3211 for your exact timeline.
Is stain tough enough for a busy Austin shop?
With full prep and a durable sealer, yes. Tell us what crosses the floor and we will build the finish around it. Call (832) 253-3211.
Do you walk the finished Austin floor with me?
We do. Before we call it done, we go over the floor together, check edges and sealer coverage, and note touch-ups. Call (832) 253-3211.
Will my Austin patio stain fade in the sun?
Color deep in the concrete holds up well, but strong sun can lighten some tones and wear the sealer. A UV-stable sealer slows that and can be refreshed later. Call (832) 253-3211 to talk through colors.
Can a damp slab be stained in Austin?
We test first. High moisture is dealt with before stain and sealer go on, so the finish does not fail from below. Call (832) 253-3211.
How much does stained concrete cost in Austin?
Most stained concrete projects in Austin run $4 to $14 per square foot depending on the system, slab condition and size. We give free on-site estimates with guaranteed pricing, so call (832) 253-3211 for an exact Austin number.
Can one crew handle home and commercial staining in Austin?
Yes. One New Era crew handles prep, staining and sealing, whether it is a living room or a restaurant. Call (832) 253-3211.
What happens to cracks when an Austin slab is stained?
Cracks and spalls are repaired during prep. Hairline cracks may still show, and many owners like that natural look. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free quote.
What colors can I get with stained concrete in Austin?
Acid stains run through browns, tans, greens and blue-greens, and water-based stains cover a much wider palette. We bring samples to your free estimate. Call (832) 253-3211.
Is my Austin neighborhood in your service area?
Very likely. The neighborhoods listed above are some we serve, and we install across the wider metro as well. Call (832) 253-3211 to confirm yours.
Can you stain a pool deck in Austin?
Yes. We prep the deck, stain it and finish it with a sealer that includes an anti-slip additive for wet feet. Call (832) 253-3211 for a free estimate.
What traction options do I have for a stained patio in Austin?
We can add an anti-slip additive to the sealer and choose a matte finish, so the surface is safer when wet. Call (832) 253-3211.
What prep goes into a stained floor in Austin?
We mechanically diamond-grind to open the pores, repair cracks, remove glue, paint and sealers, and clean the slab. Stain can only react with bare concrete. Call (832) 253-3211.
How long does stain last on an Austin floor?
The color lives in the concrete, so it does not peel. The sealer on top is the wear layer, and with full prep the floor is built to last a decade or more. Call (832) 253-3211.
How do I care for a stained floor in Austin?
Dust mop and damp mop with a mild cleaner. Skip harsh acids and ammonia, which dull the sealer. We leave every customer simple care instructions. Call (832) 253-3211.
How many days will staining take in Austin?
Most residential stained floors in Austin wrap up in two to three days including prep, stain and sealing. Larger commercial spaces are phased. Call (832) 253-3211 to scope yours.
Which stain colors stay cooler on an Austin patio?
Lighter tans, sands and soft greens hold less heat than deep browns or black. We can show test patches in your sun. Call (832) 253-3211.
Is stained concrete worth the money for an Austin property?
It can be, since the color is part of the slab and the only recurring cost is the sealer. You skip replacing flooring every few years. Call (832) 253-3211 to talk it through.
How do you protect the rest of my Austin property while staining?
We mask walls and nearby areas, contain grinding dust with HEPA machines and control rinse water. Call (832) 253-3211.
Does a stained floor resist spills in Austin?
The sealer resists everyday spills if you wipe them promptly, but strong acids can etch the finish. Tell us what the floor sees and we will advise. Call (832) 253-3211.
Does a stained patio get hot in the Austin sun?
Dark colors absorb heat, so a deep brown or black patio will be hotter underfoot than a light tan. We help you pick a tone for the exposure. Call (832) 253-3211.
Acid stain or water-based stain for my Austin floor?
Acid stain reacts with the concrete and gives earthy, variegated tones. Water-based stain offers a wider color range and more control. We show you samples of both on your slab. Call (832) 253-3211.
Do you stain interior floors in Austin homes and shops?
Yes. Interior stain suits living areas, entries, offices and retail, and we plan the work around your schedule. Call (832) 253-3211.
Can a stained floor take carts and heavy traffic in Austin?
Yes, with the right sealer. We choose a sealer for the traffic and clean-up routine of the space. Call (832) 253-3211.
Can you stain over an old coating or paint in Austin?
Not on top of it. Stain needs bare concrete, so we grind off coatings, paint and sealer first. Call (832) 253-3211 for an assessment.
Do you offer a warranty in Austin?
Yes, a written 1-year warranty on workmanship. It does not cover chipping, cracking or hydrostatic pressure. Call (832) 253-3211 and we will walk you through exactly what is covered.
