Ok, I'm trying to persuade my mom to pull up our (gross) carpet and stain the concrete floors.We have lots of indoor pets, and carpet just isn't working. So i'm wondering how much does it cost to get the concrete stained. Our if possible can we do it ourselves. If anyone has had this done to their floors, does it look bad? Thanks
you can go to Lowe's or home depot and they have things. I have not done it but family friends have and it looks really good and they did it themselves.
So, you're looking for some hard work, huh? Tear up all of the tile and remove all of the adhesive. Now if this is ceramic tile, you'll really have fun removing all of that thinset mortar. If it's vinyl, it'll still be plenty of hard work with floor scrapers/grinders. All the old adhesive has to come up -- all of it! Then you'll have to start with the staining and polishing process, which costs $3 per foot on a new construction job in Texas. Smaller jobs cost a whole lot more. Good luck!
