Patios, porches, walkways and steps given rich, even color with concrete stain or coating, then sealed to resist wear, weather and red clay stains.

From porch steps and front walks in the Heights to big patios and pool decks in Chenal Valley, Little Rock homes have plenty of concrete that's gone gray or picked up red clay stains. Concrete stain and sealer can give it even color that ties into your home's exterior. If your house is in the MacArthur Park Historic District, check with the city's historic preservation staff before coloring visible masonry, since masonry changes there go through the Historic District Commission.
Little Rock lots range from small, shaded backyards under mature oaks in Midtown, Hillcrest and the Heights to large, sloped lots in West Little Rock with raised decks, long fence runs and big patios. Shade means mildew and slow drying; slopes mean stairs, tall posts and more surface to cover.
Concrete has to be clean and dry to take color, and Central Arkansas's red clay and spring rain work against both. We clean first, let the slab dry, and test it with a few drops of water: if they bead up, an old sealer is still there and has to be dealt with before stain will soak in. Cure times run longer in cool or humid weather, so we schedule around the forecast.
You'll know the scope before we start: what we're coating, how we'll prep it and what it will cost.

We started Revive Paint with a simple idea: do careful work, tell people the truth and clean up after ourselves.
Our Arkansas Residential Home Improvement License lists concrete and special coatings among its specialties.
We check for old sealers and coatings first, so the color goes on evenly instead of blotching.
Every project ends with a sealer suited to the surface, so the color holds up to foot traffic and weather.
We look at the slab, check for cracks, old sealers and coatings, talk colors and finishes, and put the scope in writing.
The concrete is washed and degreased to remove dirt, clay stains and residue.
We water-test for old sealer, mask siding, doors and landscaping, and let the slab dry fully.
Stain or solid coating goes on in even coats to the color you chose.
A protective sealer is applied, and we tell you when it's ready for foot traffic and furniture.
Concrete staining is priced by square footage, the condition of the slab, and how much cleaning or coating removal it needs.
National cost guides put concrete staining at roughly $2 to $28 per square foot, with simple patios, porches and walkways at the low end of that range (HomeAdvisor, 2026). Those are national figures. Your Revive Paint estimate is free, in writing, and based on your actual Little Rock home.
In Little Rock, price for outdoor wood and concrete work depends most on how much cleaning and stripping the old finish needs, and on raised decks, stairs and long fence runs on sloped West Little Rock lots.

We received a free estimate on Thursday and they came out on Monday and started the painting. They expected the job to take 2 days it was complete in one day! They did a great job and the price was reasonable.
Very good company. Great guys to work with David and Bryce were honest and responsible. I really respect their work. I would hire them again.

Don't see your question? Call us and we'll answer it.
Acrylic sealers typically last one to three years on exterior concrete, and penetrating sealers about three to seven, depending on sun and traffic.
Sealers can make concrete slicker when wet. For steps, pool areas and walkways, an anti-slip additive can be mixed into the sealer.
Light foot traffic is usually fine within a day, with furniture and vehicles later, depending on the product and weather. We'll give you exact times.
New concrete needs to cure before it's stained, usually around a month. We'll confirm timing when we look at it.
In the MacArthur Park Historic District, colors on wood don't need approval, but painting masonry or stucco requires a certificate of appropriateness from the Little Rock Historic District Commission. Many West Little Rock neighborhoods, including Chenal Valley, have POA rules for exterior colors, so check your covenants before you choose.
