"The backyard transformation included a concrete patio, a covered BBQ area, new walkways, landscape lighting, and a complete planting update. We wanted the BBQ station close to the home for easy access, with the patio extending outward into the yard for more open space. The patio cover was designed with enough height to keep the area open and bright while providing afternoon shade. They also installed new irrigation before planting, and finished the walkways with matching concrete. The finished backyard gives us several useful areas without making the property look overbuilt."

"Specialty Design Coatings did an amazing job repairing and restoring a concrete overlay walkway to my property. Kaveh and his crew were on time, courteous, and very professional. The color match repairs to the existing are so close that, if you didn't know where to look, you'd never see them. I will recommend this company to others and definitely call it again."

"I had been searching for a vendor to provide a nice finish to a small area (~750 square feet) in my backyard in Long Beach. I needed to either refinish some old concrete or pour new and dovetail the surface to the ground level entrance to part of my home, my back alley and a putting green on the side of my house. I was beginning to believe no one could or would do this job....until I found Rescrete. I am not in the construction trade but have acted as a general on the addition to my house and had some idea of what could be done. Armando at rescrete provided a planned solution, his people executed it at a reasonable price. I am very pleased with their work and would not hesitate to use them again."

 We didn't satisfy his initial service (which I believe was just an accident nothing to do with their quality of service), and contact them again and receive immediate positive response to come back to do the service again.  FIVE STAR service !!! Highly recommended. Reasonable price for the additional sq ft.  We have hired multiple people for different types of service needs for the new house that we just recently move in.  None of them can top Concrete & marble Transformerz's service.

"Excellent! Mr. Pulu provided timely work at a fair price. His crew came in and went to work. They left the job site clean and hazzard free. I always get compliments on the workmanship he provided. Mr. Pulu is an artist with his stone and concrete work. I always recommend him for any concrete work desired."

"Ryan is amazing.  He did more than just "stain" our concrete - he's an artist.  We worked together on colors and designs, but ultimately it's Ryan's artistic capabilities that lead to a beautiful statement.
Our first contact with Ryan set the tone for out relationship.  We sent an email via his website and received a reply within minutes.  He arrived early for our first appointment and he was exactly on time for all subsequent meetings.  This meant a lot to us since we didn't have the same experience with previous contractors.
Ryan is honest, capable and a joy to work with.  I just wish we had more work for him to do - he's amazing.

"Joseph really has eye for design and construction, in the beginning I had it all planed out in my mind but I was unsure of the real application. He helped me put on paper and very professionally told me has to be done to get the job done. There is no cutting corners with this guy, once he starts he has to have everything done to perfection. It was unreal from start to finish, the team cleaned after the job, and made sure that the back yard was spotless. I am really happy with the work Joesph, thank you very very much this is just a way of telling world of your great skills."

FAQs for concrete finishing, overlays & coloring application projects in Santa Monica, CA

With proper care, a stained concrete floor easily lasts 20 years or more. Reapply sealer every two to four years to protect against moisture, scratches, and daily wear. Routine sweeping, occasional damp mopping, and prompt repairs keep the surface looking sharp and protect the slab underneath, preserving both function and resale value.

Stained concrete can crack if the slab is exposed to extreme moisture changes, heavy impacts, or settling. Small hairline cracks are mainly cosmetic, but deeper fractures can affect the finish. Inspect the floor regularly, address moisture issues quickly, and hire a pro for timely repairs. Staying on top of maintenance prevents minor flaws from developing into larger, more costly problems.

The longevity of a concrete stain depends on the product you choose. Acid-based options chemically bond with the slab and are essentially permanent. Water-based stains sit on the surface and can be lightened, darkened, or covered with a new color at a later time. Select the stain type that aligns with your long-term design plans and your willingness to reapply the stain in the future.

You can update the color by cleaning the slab, lightly etching it, and applying a new layer of stain. Re-staining bonds to the concrete and resists peeling far better than paint. For a dramatic shift—such as moving from a dark acid stain to a lighter tone—you may need to grind the surface first. A flooring pro can advise on the best approach for your specific floor.

Stained concrete combines longevity with a modern, custom look. The finish resists heavy foot traffic, moisture, and everyday wear, so upkeep is minimal—routine sweeping and an occasional damp mop are usually enough. Because the color is inside the concrete, it won’t peel or flake like paint. Homebuyers also appreciate its sleek aesthetic and low maintenance, which can add a slight boost to your property's resale value.
