Why David Paul Foster Co. in Redlands

Exterior Concrete Staining in Redlands, done right.

Acid stains, dyes and decorative finishes for driveways, patios, entries and walkways. We work Redlands from the historic Smiley Park district out through the surviving orange groves, with our own crew on every job — no subcontractors, no surprise charges, and one number to call from the first estimate to the finished concrete coating.

We apply exterior concrete staining across Redlands and the surrounding area, including San Bernardino, Moreno Valley, Rialto, Riverside.

What's included

  • Color that penetrates the slab instead of forming a film over it
  • Driveways, patios, walkways, steps and entries
  • Scored pattern lines cut in where the design calls for it
  • Sealed after staining to hold the color against sun and traffic
  • Mottled, variegated finishes rather than a flat painted look
  • Free on-site estimate before anything is quoted
Exterior Concrete Staining in Redlands

Built for Redlands homes.

Redlands has one of the best-preserved historic housing stocks in the region, and a lot of our work here is on concrete attached to houses of real architectural value. That changes the brief. On a Victorian or Craftsman property the concrete should look like it belongs to the house, not like it was done last spring.

Redlands also sits high enough at the eastern end of the valley to get a wider temperature range than the cities west of it, which is another reason to prepare cracks properly rather than hoping an overlay hides them.

Historic property work is mostly a discipline of restraint. Penetrating stains, honest concrete finishes and color that suits the period tend to be right; bright modern coatings and high gloss tend to be wrong, however well they are executed.

Redlands FAQs

Exterior Concrete Staining in Redlands, questions

Do you do steps and porches as well as flatwork?

Yes, and on older Redlands houses that is frequently the more important part of the job. Steps take the most wear and are the first thing anyone touches, so they are worth getting right.

Does stained concrete need sealing?

Yes. The seal is what protects the color from sun and traffic, and it is part of the job rather than an extra.

Can I get a pattern rather than plain color?

We can score pattern lines into the slab and stain to them — flagstone layouts, tile grids and diamond patterns are all common. If you want a full raised texture, that is an overlay instead.
