Service Overview
Colored concrete expands design possibilities beyond the gray of standard concrete. Through integral color admixtures, surface-applied color hardeners, or stain applications, we produce concrete in virtually any color to complement architectural design and branding requirements.
Integral color mixes the pigment throughout the concrete, providing consistent color that extends through the slab. This approach eliminates concerns about surface wear revealing gray concrete beneath. Color consistency requires careful attention to mix design, batch control, and placement technique.
Surface-applied color hardeners are broadcast onto fresh concrete during finishing, providing intense color in the wearing surface with added abrasion resistance. This method offers more color intensity than integral color and is often used for stamped concrete applications.
Commercial colored concrete applications include branded retail environments, color-coded warehouse zones, decorative outdoor areas, and architectural features requiring specific color matching. We help select the appropriate coloring method for each application's requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about colored concrete placement
How consistent is the color in colored concrete?
We achieve consistent color through careful mix control, uniform placement techniques, and proper curing. Some variation is inherent in colored concrete and adds to its natural appearance. We provide samples to set expectations for color consistency.
Does colored concrete fade over time?
Quality pigments provide excellent color stability, but some lightening occurs over years of UV exposure. Proper sealing slows fading and maintains color intensity. We use premium pigments designed for exterior durability.
What colors are available for commercial concrete?
We offer a complete range of colors from earth tones and grays to blues, greens, and custom colors. Standard colors are most economical, while custom color matching is available for specific design requirements.
How do you ensure color matching across large projects?
We maintain batch consistency throughout projects, coordinate concrete deliveries to avoid material changes, and use uniform finishing techniques. For large projects, we recommend mock-ups to verify color before full production.
Can colored concrete be repaired if damaged?
Colored concrete repairs are possible but challenging to match exactly. We maintain records of color specifications to improve repair matching. For critical areas, we recommend discussing repair protocols during project planning.
