Plain gray concrete may be durable, but it rarely adds personality to a home. CountBricks transforms ordinary surfaces into eye-catching design features through professional concrete staining Augusta residents trust. Whether you need a fresh look for a worn front walk or a dramatic statement for an outdoor kitchen, our residential construction team pairs artisan techniques with AI-powered estimating to deliver stunning, budget-friendly results.
Aesthetic versatility – Rich espresso, warm terracotta, or sleek charcoal: water-based stains blend to match any architectural style.
Long-lasting color – Stains penetrate the slab, resisting peeling and UV fade far better than surface paints.
Low maintenance – A sealed, stained surface cleans with a garden hose and mild soap, saving time and effort.
Added property value – An inviting entry or patio elevates curb appeal and boosts ROI when it’s time to sell.
Concrete staining may look simple on social media, but flawless finishes demand precise material ratios, temperature control, and curing schedules. Our process combines hands-on craftsmanship with CountBricks AI tools.

Augusta’s humid summers and frigid winters influence stain selection and pricing. We account for:
• Freeze-thaw additives required for exterior slabs
• Indoor vs. outdoor square footage—interiors skip the final anti-skid coat
• Moisture mitigation for basements along the Kennebec River
• Permit fees where staining crosses into structural alterations (e.g., thick overlays)
• Small porch (100–150 sq ft) – $900 – $1,400
• Standard driveway (400–600 sq ft) – $2,800 – $4,200
• Large patio with decorative saw-cuts (800 sq ft) – $5,500 – $6,800
Prices include surface prep, dual-tone stain, and premium sealer. Use CountBricks.com/services to generate a site-specific quote in under five minutes.
• Rinse quarterly with a gentle garden nozzle to remove grit
• Avoid de-icing salts; choose sand for winter traction instead
• Reapply sealer every three to five years—CountBricks offers discounted maintenance packages
• Place felt pads beneath patio furniture to prevent scratches
The owners of a riverside Cape wanted a rustic entertaining space that echoed local granite cliffs. CountBricks scanned their 700 sq ft patio blueprint, calculated 9 gallons of charcoal base and 3 gallons of silver accent stain, then scheduled the job before the client’s yearly July reunion. Despite a three-day rain delay, our moisture sensors confirmed safe recoat times. The final high-gloss surface reflected string lights and resisted shoreline humidity—still flawless two seasons later.

CountBricks crews leave every project with a rich, sealed finish, but a little homeowner care extends that showroom look for years. Follow these guidelines between our scheduled maintenance visits.
• Sweep monthly with a soft-bristle broom to remove abrasive sand that can dull sealer sheen.
• Hose off fertilizer overspray immediately; acidic compounds may etch the surface over time.
• Place breathable outdoor rugs instead of rubber-backed mats to prevent moisture trapping.
• For oil drips, blot with kitty litter within 30 minutes, then wash with pH-neutral cleaner recommended on CountBricks.com/services.
• Inspect expansion joints each spring; refill missing caulk to stop water penetration beneath the slab.
1. Sealer Wear: If water no longer beads on the surface, schedule a reseal before winter freeze.
2. Color Refresh: UV exposure lightens some hues after five years; a quick semi-transparent coat revives depth without stripping.
3. Structural Cracks: Hairlines under 1/16-inch are cosmetic; wider gaps need our epoxy injection prior to restaining.
• Add a contrasting border stain during your next reseal to redefine space for less than a full patio overhaul.
• Integrate low-voltage lighting into saw-cut joints; sealed wiring channels remain invisible in daylight.
• Opt for a slip-resistant additive when your family grows or aging relatives visit regularly.
