Concrete can get discolored over time, becoming an unsightly exterior feature for your home. Luckily, you can stain concrete for a fresh look. Here's how.

The downside is that painted concrete is prone to scuffs and scratches. Sealer is also easy to apply with a brush, roller, or spray, although an etch coat may be required first to make sure it bonds.

Step 4: Apply concrete etcher to the floor. After everything has dried, both the bleach solution and any filler you may have used, check to see if you’ll need to etch the floor’s surface.
