Concrete Staining in Sherwood

Concrete staining for Sherwood homes: what to know

Sherwood homes from the 1970s through the 2000s usually have concrete patios, front walks and porches that have faded, cracked or picked up red clay stains over the years. Staining and sealing can tie those surfaces into a refreshed exterior. We clean and test the slab first, since old sealer or paint changes how the color takes.

Sherwood's wooded hills give many backyards shade and leaf litter, which keep fences and decks damp, while open lots take full sun. Most homes date from the 1970s through the 2000s, so decks, fences and patios often have one or two old coats on them.

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.

Planning tip for Sherwood

Have a cracked patio? Get the cracks repaired before staining. Stain won't hide cracks, and sealing over open cracks lets water keep getting in.

Why choose us

Why Sherwood homeowners choose Revive Paint

We started Revive Paint with a simple idea: do careful work, tell people the truth and clean up after ourselves.

Licensed for concrete

Our Arkansas Residential Home Improvement License lists concrete and special coatings among its specialties.

Tested before we color

We check for old sealers and coatings first, so the color goes on evenly instead of blotching.

Sealed to last

Every project ends with a sealer suited to the surface, so the color holds up to foot traffic and weather.

Our process

How we handle concrete staining in Sherwood, step by step

    Free on-site estimate

    We look at the slab, check for cracks, old sealers and coatings, talk colors and finishes, and put the scope in writing.

  2. 2

    Clean and degrease

    The concrete is washed and degreased to remove dirt, clay stains and residue.

  3. 3

    Test and prep

    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.

  5. 5

    A protective sealer is applied, and we tell you when it's ready for foot traffic and furniture.

Cost

Concrete Staining cost in Sherwood, AR (2026)

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 Sherwood home.

In Sherwood, cleaning off mildew and leaf staining on shaded lots and the size and height of the fence or deck drive most of the price.

What affects your price

  • Square footage and shape of the area
  • Old paint, coatings or sealer to remove
  • Stain type and number of colors
  • Sealer type and finish

Included in every concrete staining project

Concrete Staining FAQ

Concrete Staining questions from Sherwood homeowners

Don't see your question? Call us and we'll answer it.

Call 501-476-2706
Can old or sealed concrete be stained?

Often, yes. Sprinkle a little water on it: if it soaks in and darkens, the slab can take stain. If it beads up, there's a sealer or coating that has to be removed first, or an opaque coating may be the better choice.

How long does concrete sealer last?

Acrylic sealers typically last one to three years on exterior concrete, and penetrating sealers about three to seven, depending on sun and traffic.

How soon can we walk on it?

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.

Do you stain new concrete?

New concrete needs to cure before it's stained, usually around a month. We'll confirm timing when we look at it.

Do Sherwood neighborhoods have exterior paint rules?

Some do. Many Sherwood subdivisions have covenants or a property owners' association that approves exterior colors, fences or decks. Check your covenants before you choose, and we can provide color names and samples for the submission.

Are you licensed and insured for concrete work?

Yes. Revive Paint holds an Arkansas Residential Home Improvement License (#0478560127), which covers painting, cabinets, concrete and special coatings, and we carry general liability insurance on every job.
