Quickly breathing new life into outdoor spaces is as simple as staining concrete and stones. 

Do you want to learn more about patio staining? Keep reading for seven benefits of using stain as part of your patio renovation.

1. Patio Staining is Inexpensive

You’ll be happy to know that residential patio staining is inexpensive. With the money you’ll save, you can invest in new furniture, lighting, or a gas grill.

If you have other home renovation plans, the cost savings can help you get to other projects sooner.

2. Stain Comes in Different Colors

Patio staining has many color options. Having multiple colors to choose from can take your home patio renovation to the next level. You can coordinate your patio color with decking, pool tiles, and garden stones.

3. It Doesn’t Take Long

The patio staining process doesn’t take long. Whether it’s a DIY home renovation project or you hire a professional painting company, you can have a completed patio renovation in a few days.

You can fully use your patio sooner than the timespan it would take to tear out and repour a new foundation.

4. Patio Stain Works on Exterior and Interior Spaces

Patio stain is the perfect option for both interior and exterior patios. You can also use it on any concrete surface, including basements, concrete edging around garden beds, and pillars.

Best of all, it’s easy to coordinate patio stain with your exterior furniture and upholstery selections. 

5. It Requires Little Maintenance

Once your residential patio staining is complete, it requires little maintenance. Your home patio renovation can retain its luster with low maintenance habits.

Sweep your patio to remove dust, dirt, and other debris. Consider mopping tiled areas to keep grout clean and prevent spills from discoloring stained areas. 

6. The Sealing Process Adds Protection

Adding a sealant following residential patio staining is a smart move. The sealant will add another layer of protection. In addition, it will prolong the color. 

Make sure you use a high-quality Polyaspartic sealant. These types of sealants prevent damage in freezing climates. It also reduces fading.

7. Mask Defects 

Cracking in concrete is a natural occurrence. Defects are more likely to occur when concrete isn’t properly maintained. You don’t need to tear out cracked concrete before staining.

Small cracks can add character to your patio renovation.
