How To Stain Concrete Floors | Easy Diy Method

[@Caringconstruction123]

Looks like an old leather bound book from 1800’s Great look! Well done!

[@margaretowens3237]

I like the fact you talked about the difference between acid and water base stains

[@d.w.liddell8679]

Love it. Looks almost exactly to what we put on our basement floor. Stain is a good option for basements especially if a drain backs up, no carpet to worry about. You do good work Mike.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thank you!

[@johndoe-ek6vl]

this should be STANDARD on all new homes. Why have tile or carpet when you can have the foundation look like one contiguous piece of stone/marble?

[@TheSecondsHand]

When you have kids you’ll know why wood or carpet

[@AgentDoubleV_Gaming]

​@Time is Right idk man, I have a kid and I share his sentiment. Me and my wife are currently removing the flooring in our house one section at a time while living in it

[@MechInvent]

It feels empty, idk. I'll do it in my garage

[@hulkhuggett]

Agree 💯!

[@11bravo80]

I want to do this in my bedroom I have to rip up the carpet and remove the paint from the floor any advice. I want to use water based products

[@jameshaskell4254]

Hey Mike. This video really helps me out with the staining of concrete. I always have stayed away from staining. But as my small business grows I want to do more of this. I love this side of decorative side of concrete. You and your guys are great and I learned a lot from this videos. Keep up the good work.

[@im58woody]

Looks like an old comfortable leather sofa! Nice job 👍

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thank you!

[@oeff7744]

I love this. Simple but elegant gold highlights would be nice with this color

[@yellowdayz1800]

I am going to do this to my cement floors. Never ever did like carpets. Tiles are expensive and slippery when wet.. I just want what is more reasonably cost and more maintenance free. This looks good. Can't wait to do my own floors.

[@melissanative1799]

YEP, MAINTENANCE FREE...THAT'S IMPORTANT!

[@ragingrevenge1]

I started out using acid stain, but when the acetone based dyes came out, I never used acid stain again. Super fast turn around. This is the way

[@mrsrichard7835]

The floors look amazing!!! I would prefer a different color for taste, but man this is a knock out job!

[@LowellMorgan]

I think the new floor looks brilliant, thank you for the video!

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Glad you like it!

[@ChristyHunter]

Our house flooded and our hardwood floors are ruined, which were refinished less than 2 years ago after a frozen pipe leak. I think this would be a great solution but insurance isn't paying for flood issues so I hope to eventually get all the warped hardwood up and have this done. Great video. Now I know what is involved when we have this done.

[@Tony-Rinaldo]

Love the antiquing look! Good work, Mike

[@jmt2192]

I saw Brad Lancaster did this and yes it looks fantastic. Super efficient and aesthetically pleasing

[@raynechantel2738]

I love the look!! Always been a big fan of the stained concrete look.

[@Wendy-xe4gk]

Beautiful floor. Concrete is such a great medium.

[@jenaplourde9745]

So glad I found your channel, Mike. I've got a big patio job happening in my yard at the moment. I've picked a stain color and realize I know nothing about concrete sealer finishes -- matte, gloss, semi gloss, low sheen, etc. If I don't try to gain a little knowledge myself, I don't know how to answer the question, "what do you want?" This is the scariest part for a customer -- this isn't what we DO, so it's hard to know what it is we want or what the options are.

[@EduardoCampos-v6y]

Love your video man. So simple and easy to understand when you explain it. Keep up the great work

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Appreciate it!

[@johnpaid5747]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Your process is impeccable sir!

[@druidsongevergreens]

Beautiful finish. I like how it’s not too shiny

[@billbernhard3582]

A very organic, natural 'wood' sort of appearance to it ! The mat finish is the best ! You guys should probably be wearing chem-masks though, with the acetone. Those VOCs can hurt you, down the road a piece.

[@velmabyford2832]

Absolutely LOVE the color and finished look of this floor. Great job

[@uapandufosinsocal9804]

I love the results! However, I would have selected a gray or bluish shade for the stain.

[@teri8991]

It looks so nice like a real hardwood floor.

[@etimc]

well hello again from a mainer now living in costa rica - this is the second time i searched youtube for something I was making and the second time i recognized an accent from home - i subscribed after the last video, the minute i heard the voice, i scrolled down and figured it was you - grin - i just had my first go at a polished cement counter top poured in place - (meant a whole lot of steel troweling - every couple of hours -- 12 midnight and i think it is finally good - spray misted it and covered it with plastic for the night - thanks for your videos, and double thanks for speaking a version of "ingles" i recognize - my wife is filipina, our friends and neighbors range from other filipinos, latinos of multiple countries and accents, to germany, france, italy, israel, china, india, and more - sometimes it is easier just to visit in spanish than understand all the variety of english - lol -

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Yes, I live close to Augusta, Me. What are you sealing the countertop with?

[@jimmys2133]

Love it! That's what I'm looking for in my dining room and kitchen.

[@csmccarthy123063]

Hi, I saw your comment. My wife and I are considering doing this in our dining room and living room. Wondering if you did the project, how it went, and any lessons you learned? Thanks!

[@JasonSmith-qx3zh]

For what y'all had to deal with clean and very protected outstanding job.

[@creativewoodworker4300]

Me and the Wife both like the way this looks.

[@erikcaldwell2913]

That looks FANTASTICAL!!

[@jeffgilbreath7695]

Great video. The floor looks amazing, really like that matte finish.

[@geniekuniyoshi2005]

Love it did itv to living room now decided best for whole house in an apartment that keeps flooding.

[@Karisma77]

Look awesome! I want to do this to my garage when it's done being built!

[@kennethamend8557]

I've recently subscribed to this channel and I make it a point to watch as many videos as I can. I've learned so much in a short period of time. Just to see you guys do the project from beginning to end. Man, The questions get answered before I can ask them! Thank You God Bless

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Awesome, thank you!

[@richardjamesrochardt7573]

Love it!! I'm straining two floors this week and hope mine turn out half as good as this!!

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Awesome, good luck 👍

[@richardjamesrochardt7573]

@Mike Day Concrete update: We couldn't get a stain for the floors. I live in a small town and had to order it. But we were able to grind back the floor of one room and just sealed it. Your video made the whole process so easy! While I would have loved to stain the floor (I will be staining the second one) the industrial feel of the raw sealed concrete worked surprisingly well! Old stains show and we didn't seal the cracks first and it actually looks pretty good. Now to see how well the sealer lasts hahaha

[@katietanksley4743]

You answered all the questions that I I've been searching for. THANK YOU

[@B2sdad512]

The floors look great! Tiger stripes enhanced the look very well

[@brentyancich]

Looks incredible. I love seeing your work ans finished product

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thanks a bunch!

[@Spartanwife27]

Love the contrast. Looks amazing.

[@chadcato7547]

Looks great. Makes you feel good. When it all comes together

[@EMERALDJAYNE]

****Beautiful!!! Love the leather-look... It's very unique and it looks really natural!🎉 I'm doing my outside terracotta and I didn't know how to do the spray pattern... I love this tutorial ... It's a piece of art! 💕🤗🌞

[@jaimeortega4940]

Love it! Looks great! Reminds me of a style of architecture they use here in the Yucatan called the "Tulum method."

[@jeninemanus8908]

Hi I like it its something new too me..I want my floors to looks that way.I love it looks pretty and neatly thanks for the video

[@artbyrobot1]

that's beautiful. i want to do this for all my rental properties. you can do the entire conversion to concrete stained floors without bending over at all unlike tile or wood or laminates. you can literally do whole job standing up so easy on body and lasts longer and cheaper better in every category

[@melissanative1799]

I WAS ALSO THINKING OF DOING THIS FOR MY RENTAL, BUT WHAT ABOUT IT BEING CHILD FRIENDLY. COULD FALL AND HIT YOUR HEAD PRETTY BAD. ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN TILE. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

[@artbyrobot1]

@@melissanative1799 IT'S NOT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN TILE

[@Wdiedericks]

I love it, wow exactly what I'm looking for. Wish you guys were in my neck of the woods. Great job!

[@israelmartinez8551]

Great work Mike!!! Looks great 👍

[@johnfahey7215]

Looks great! I think it gives the concrete a sorta marble look.

[@laceyboykin5977]

Looks fantastic! Just the video I was looking for. We just had a paver company come out & lay some stone like pavers down under our pergola that’s flush with our back porch slab. I wanted to stain the concrete of the porch to blend it into the look of the cafe colored pavers.

[@V3RYG00D]

Looks great. Nice matte finish.

[@vaustin6128]

Beautiful job… this is what I want for my basement.

[@glock45ryan31]

Great look! Keep up the good work brother

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Appreciate it!!

[@marthaazevadajohnson8638]

What brand stain and color was used on this project? Where was the stain purchased? Love this color

[@74stevedc]

I think It looks great, you do a excellent job explaining in your videos of how to etc. I'd say your channel pretty much covers it all, best concrete learning videos without a doubt.

[@mgtcontractorsllc2017]

That looks dang GOOD I like it.

[@MikeDayConcrete]

Thanks

[@workingwithmike344]

Looks really good. Thanks for sharing !

Fantastic looking Mike...

[@MikeDayConcrete]

[@danajess4291]

Defiantly looks better I prefer a gloss look on those.

[@cooldawhg3226]

Looks Great! Nice work.

this is amazing I think it's looks great

[@sarahdavis2643]

We are going to DIY this for our home, so obviously came to do research. My biggest take away is that I can do this project in socks/slippers 😂❤ But in all seriousness, thanks for a great informational video. Best one I’ve found thus far!

[@damarisortiz5627]

I love it, great job!

[@bennettjones9696]

Very nice. Only thing I would have done differently is to cut some more lines to make it look more like large marble/granite plates. Great job always. FYI, I use someone your vids to give my clients ideas. So thanks for the visual selling aides.

[@rp2312]

Looks lovely 😊 Good job! 👍

[@artmontes5315]

Like the patina...going to follow your advice for an interior bedroom we are converting into an office/art room/guest bedroom.

Real cool 😎 looks great! 👍🏽

Thank you! Cheers!

[@TysoniusRex]

Thanks so much for posting this. I've been wanting to redo the floor in my house for several years; it's covered with wood laminate (pergo) that's been damaged by several floods. By the time I was able to setup a drainage system outside that would prevent that, the damage was done. I had been thinking about putting ceramic tile or stone on the concrete so that it would resemble a stone floor, when I saw a friend's house who did what you demonstrated: Cleaned, stained and sealed his concrete pad. This is exactly what I want for my house and your video showed that it's something I could do, that I don't have to hire someone else to do it for me. I'll definitely check out the Concrete Underground, but this has been a great introduction to staining my slab!

[@Mona-fd5kf]

It pretty cool. I look forward to see your instructional videos.

[@craigcrabill6901]

Simple and well explained thanks

[@Christian87871]

Looks great Mike! I love the variation in colors. I did not hear your suggestion on alternative cleaning methods. I'm thinking maybe acid washing. My DIY project is to restain my front and rear porches. The previous stain done by the previous owner has faded and worn away. I need to keep the anti-skid texture to prevent slipping on the floor when wet. So i will shy away from sanding/cleaning machine. But explain about the alternative cleaning method before i apply stain. Thanks! Donny

[@annthompson6389]

Thank you so much Mike for this how to video! Beautiful work and instructions! Yay!!!!!

Beautiful work. Keep it up.

[@TheNudeBrewer]

I read a couple of pages of comments, and it seems *everyone* likes it. And I'm one of them! But what's interesting is I showed it to my gf and she said "It looks like a driveway full of stains." lol So it's definitely not for everyone. :^)
