I was hired to stain the concrete floor in the basement of this house.
The concrete was in good condition but was a little dirty.
The first thing we did was clean the concrete by lightly grinding it with diamond pads.
After cleaning, we vacuumed the floor and it was ready to apply the floor stain.
I used acetone dye in the video but I would suggest you use a water based stain that is applied in the same manner.
After applying the concrete stain, we let it dry and sprayed on a water based acrylic sealer to finish the floor.

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.
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.

Thank you!
Absolutely LOVE the color and finished look of this floor. Great job
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.
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!
Love the antiquing look! Good work, Mike
I love the look!! Always been a big fan of the stained concrete look.
I saw Brad Lancaster did this and yes it looks fantastic. Super efficient and aesthetically pleasing
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

Looks like an old leather bound book from 1800’s Great look! Well done!
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.
Love the contrast. Looks amazing.
The floors look amazing!!! I would prefer a different color for taste, but man this is a knock out job!
Love it! Looks great! Reminds me of a style of architecture they use here in the Yucatan called the "Tulum method."
That looks FANTASTICAL!!
Looks great. Makes you feel good. When it all comes together
Love it! That's what I'm looking for in my dining room and kitchen.
****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! 💕🤗🌞
You answered all the questions that I I've been searching for. THANK YOU
I love it, wow exactly what I'm looking for. Wish you guys were in my neck of the woods. Great job!
I think the new floor looks brilliant, thank you for the video!

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

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
Beautiful floor. Concrete is such a great medium.
Great video. The floor looks amazing, really like that matte finish.
The floors look great! Tiger stripes enhanced the look very well
Looks beautiful! Thanks for video
Love your video man. So simple and easy to understand when you explain it. Keep up the great work

For what y'all had to deal with clean and very protected outstanding job.
Beautiful finish. I like how it’s not too shiny
Love it did itv to living room now decided best for whole house in an apartment that keeps flooding.
Looks great. Nice matte finish.
Wow this amazing work! I love the stain on that floor!
Love it! Trying it soon in my home gym
Great work Mike!!! Looks great 👍
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.
Look awesome! I want to do this to my garage when it's done being built!
Like the patina...going to follow your advice for an interior bedroom we are converting into an office/art room/guest bedroom.
Beautiful job… this is what I want for my basement.
It looks Beautiful!
Looks incredible. I love seeing your work ans finished product

It looks great. I have a job to do Monday I need those same product that was in the video
It pretty cool. I look forward to see your instructional videos.
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 -

It looks really nice.
this is amazing I think it's looks great

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
I love the results! However, I would have selected a gray or bluish shade for the stain.
Looks great! I think it gives the concrete a sorta marble look.
Looking to do my floors,looks great
thank you for this video!
Came out great
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!
Floor looks great, you guys did an awesome job! Would this process be essentially the same for outdoor concrete?
Beautiful!
That looks dang GOOD I like it.

@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
Great look! Keep up the good work brother

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.
Nice....looks good!!!
Good video, thanks!
