Stained & Sealed
For new concrete pours or 2” cap toppings we pour and stamp your new concrete to look like stone, brick, tile, wood planks, or solid surface. Using integral color, colored release, decorative stamps, and sealers we provide a patterned and sealed decorative surface. The different patterns and colors allow customers to customize a design that fits their individual wants. If you are interested in upgrading your plain concrete to stamped, contact us so we can help you get your desired look installed.
For concrete that is sound and doesn’t need replacing, we can offer a stamped look without the cost of replacing the concrete by using concrete polymer overlays. The overlay is integrally colored like concrete, and secondary colors are added to the stamped surface to resemble the desired pattern. The concrete will be prepped, cleaned, and then coated with the overlay bond coat. Once the bond coat has been applied, the overlay material will be mixed on site and applied with gauge rakes. After the material has been laid out with a gauge rake, it is spike-rolled to release entrapped air, allowed to self-level, and left to slightly harden for the stamping process. Once the material has reached proper hardness, liquid release is applied to the decorative stamping mats and the surface is stamped, leaving the desired impressions in the surface. After the material has cured, it is cleaned, secondary color is added for an antique look, and it is sealed. If you want to spruce up your old bare concrete surface, call us to see your options.
Texture Spray Coatings
Texture spray is a polymer-modified cement coating sprayed over sound concrete and troweled down to a textured finish. It covers worn or stained slabs, adds slip resistance, and comes in multiple base and accent colors. A sealer goes on last to protect the color.

Concrete staining is one of the most economical solutions for achieving a decorative finish on a concrete surface. Once the surface has been cleaned and any contaminants or debris have been removed, the surface can be stained. This may be a simple cleaning of new concrete or require grinding or mastic removal of an old, previously covered or sealed surface. With a wide variety of color choices, a customer can pick one or a combination of colors to incorporate in their new finish, as well as including simple designs, stencils, logos, or intricate borders and patterns. Once the surface is ready, a special sprayer is used to apply the acetone or acid dye, which penetrates deep into the surface, providing rich, vibrant color. The unique look of stain is how the concrete reacts and absorbs the color differently throughout the surface, providing a mottled design. For outdoor applications, acid stains are used due to their UV stability. Acetone dyes are used for covered or indoor areas. After the acetone has evaporated, or the acid stain has dried and been neutralized, the floor is sealed to lock in, protect, and enhance the color. Sealer options include solvent- or water-based acrylic sealers or penetrating lithium silicate concrete sealers, each having different benefits and gloss levels. Sealers can also be upgraded to resinous products as described on the epoxy and urethane flooring page. Another option for staining is to use a solid-color concrete sealer, which seals the surface while turning it a solid color.
Choosing a Decorative Concrete Finish for Your Atlanta Property
Stamped concrete and stamped overlays suit outdoor areas such as entrances, patios, and walkways. Stained and sealed concrete is one of the most economical interior finishes for retail floors, offices, and showrooms. For a decorative floor that also takes chemicals, forklifts, or washdown, look at our decorative epoxy flooring with metallic and flake finishes, or a polished concrete floor. Every decorative job starts with surface preparation , which removes old sealers, mastic, and contaminants so color and overlays bond to the slab.
Decorative Concrete FAQs
How much does decorative concrete cost in Atlanta?
Price depends on the finish, square footage, slab condition, and any pattern or color work. Staining is one of the lower-cost decorative options, while stamped overlays take more material and labor. Request a free quote and we will walk the site and price each area.
Can you stamp existing concrete?
Yes, if the slab is sound. A polymer stamped overlay goes over the existing concrete and is stamped to look like stone, brick, tile, or wood, so the slab does not need to be torn out.
What is the difference between acid stain and acetone dye?
Acid stains are UV-stable, so we use them outdoors. Acetone dyes are used for covered or indoor areas. Both are sealed after they dry to lock in and protect the color.
Can you add our logo to a concrete floor?
Yes. Stains can create custom logos, borders, stencils, and patterns in your brand colors.
Do you install decorative concrete outside Atlanta?
Yes. Extreme IFC is based in Cumming, GA and installs decorative concrete across North Georgia, including Cumming, Alpharetta, Marietta, and Gainesville.
