Enhance and protect your concrete with professional stain and seal

Concrete staining and sealing is a two-step process. Staining applies premium acid-based or water-based stains that penetrate the concrete and create vibrant, long-lasting color. Sealing adds a protective topcoat that locks in the color, enhances the finish, and safeguards against damage.

This process transforms dull, gray concrete into a customized surface with depth, character, and durability.

Why High Stakes Epoxy LLC

Most failed epoxy floors were lost before the coating ever came out of the pail.

Coatings don’t fail because of the product. They fail because of what happened — or didn’t happen — to the concrete underneath. That’s the part we refuse to rush.

01 / Prep

We grind. We don’t acid etch.

Every floor gets mechanically diamond-ground to an open concrete profile before anything is applied. It’s slower, dustier and the single biggest reason a floor lasts fifteen years instead of peeling in two.

02 / Materials

Commercial-grade product on residential jobs.

The same coatings we put down in warehouses go into your garage. No thinned box-store kits, no shortcuts on mil thickness to make a number work.

03 / People

The owner is on your job.

High Stakes is owner-operated by Tyler Wilms out of Cleveland, MO. The person who quotes your floor is the person standing on it with a grinder.

04 / After

You get the cure schedule in writing.

When you can walk on it, when you can park on it, how to clean it, and what’s covered. Written down before we leave, not guessed at over the phone a week later.

Frequently asked

Questions we get about stain and seal concrete.

How much does concrete stain and seal cost in Kansas City?

The average cost for professional stain and seal services in Kansas City is $3 to $6 per square foot, depending on the surface size, stain type, and finish.

How long does stained and sealed concrete last?

With proper maintenance, stained and sealed concrete can last 5–10 years before resealing is needed, and the color can last even longer.

What is the difference between acid stain and water-based stain?

Acid stains create natural, variegated tones, while water-based stains provide a wider variety of vibrant, consistent colors. Both can be sealed for protection.

Does stained concrete need to be sealed?

Yes. Sealing is essential to protect the stain, prevent fading, and resist moisture and stains, especially in outdoor Kansas City environments.

Is stained and sealed concrete slippery?

Sealed concrete can be slippery when wet, but we offer slip-resistant additives for safer surfaces, especially around patios and pool decks.

Can existing concrete be stained and sealed?

Yes. As long as your concrete is structurally sound, we can clean, stain, and seal it to create a beautiful new finish.

How do you maintain stained and sealed concrete?

Maintenance is simple — regular sweeping, occasional mopping with mild cleaners, and resealing every few years will keep your floors looking great.
