Concrete Staining Costs in Texas for 2026
Water-based concrete staining in Texas costs $2 to $6 per square foot for consistent, uniform color in 30 to 50+ color options. Acid staining in Texas runs $4 to $8 per square foot for unique, variegated color patterns in earth tones. Common Texas staining projects include garage floors ($1,000 to $3,000), patios ($800 to $3,000), basement floors ($1,500 to $5,000), and commercial floors ($2 to $6/sq ft for large areas).
All Texas prices include surface cleaning and preparation, stain application, neutralization (acid stain), and one coat of protective sealer. Multi-color designs and intricate scoring patterns add $1 to $3 per square foot for the additional labor and materials required.
Interior vs. Exterior Staining in Texas
Interior concrete staining in Texas is popular for basements, living areas, commercial floors, and retail spaces. Interior stained floors offer a durable, low-maintenance alternative to carpet, tile, or hardwood at lower cost. The controlled environment inside a building helps stained concrete maintain its color and sealer for longer periods, with resealing needed every 3 to 5 years.
Exterior staining in Texas works well for patios, pool decks, and walkways. Exterior stained surfaces need resealing every 2 to 3 years and benefit from UV-resistant sealers. In areas of Texas with heavy freeze-thaw cycling, penetrating sealers are recommended over film-forming sealers to prevent moisture trapping and surface spalling.
