Concrete Staining
Stained concrete looks great and offers many design options. Staining can be applied to recently-installed concrete or pre-existing concrete. OKCrete does not offer concrete staining services because it fades over time depending on its exposure to traffic, weather, and abuse. Integral concrete colors and color hardeners are much more long-lasting and provide better value for the customer.
Dyed Concrete
Dyes can be added to the wet concrete mix and allowed to soak in. This method produces deep, rich colors but is not as durable as other methods. Dyes offer more vibrant color options but are not UV-safe. Therefore, dyes are typically used for indoor applications where accomplishing a very specific color design is required.
Note that even indoor applications like concrete floors are exposed to UV rays, which is why OKCrete does not recommend coloring concrete with dye pigments.
Integral coloring
Integral concrete coloring is the best method of coloring any concrete because the entire concrete mix becomes a single color before it is poured. The color is evenly distributed throughout the concrete, giving the most uniform design and lasting as long as the concrete does. Even if it gets damaged or chipped, the color won’t change. The only downside to integral color is that it cannot produce colors as vividly as other application techniques. However, integral coloring can be combined with color hardeners to develop an even more unique design.

We are extremely pleased with OKCrete’s work widening our driveway and extending the back patio!
“Fischer, Dexter and their team were extraordinarily polite, professional and punctual. They went out of their way to make these additions happen within our budget and timeframe. We will absolutely be using them again for other outside additions (pergola, etc.) and highly recommend their team for any concrete needs!”
Emily Lovell
OkCrete did a great job on our concrete project.
“Juan and Zack were very professional and attentive during the entire process. They followed up consistently to ensure we were satisfied with the progress and final results. I’d recommend them for all your concrete needs.”
Andrew Oyler
Okcrete was the best decision I made for a my new double driveway.
“From beginning to end, they were professional, artistic, understanding and affordable. Kevin, Nick and their crew went above and beyond to give me the driveway of my dreams, digging out and hauling away an old tree stump, creating beautiful curves, new stairs and a show stopping diamond cut. I would definitely use them again and encourage anyone interested in a new driveway to call them immediately.”
Leslie Morgan
There is a reason why they are the best and why I went with them and for the future!
“When mistakes are made they make sure things are done right. The first pour did not go as planned and basically had to rip it out and replace. Some companies would say that's good enough but not them. They jumped right on it very quickly and replaced it! Wow! Me and my wife are very pleased with the result. I will recommend them to anyone that ask who did my concrete work for my patio expansion.”
Ken Anderson
OKCrete did an amazing job helping us with our addition.
“They are very knowledgeable about their product. They communicated well and showed up on time as planned. Very friendly and professional to work with and most importantly they poured high quality concrete. They have very high integrity as they cleaned up, professional and affordable service.”
Lisa Andrews
The Perfect Combination of Extensive Industry Experience and Accessibility
“The crew was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable regarding all aspects of the build-out. I would not hesitate in any way to recommend them and envision working with them again in the future as my business continues to expand. I believe they have the perfect combination of extensive industry experience and the accessibility of a local business.”

fREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
how close will the final color be to the color i selected?
While we are professionals and will do our best to match your concrete to the color you want, there are no color guarantees. Each mix of concrete and batch of color has its own chemical reaction. Therefore, we cannot perfectly match colors as a paint store can. However, the colored cement will still look like what you want. A red will look red, and a tan will look tan.
What happens if the concrete chips?
This is the number one question we get from customers who ask about integral color concrete. They are concerned that if the concrete gets chipped, there will be a piece of gray concrete ruining the aesthetic appearance of the colored concrete.
The answer is no, if your concrete does chip or crack, the color will remain the same.
At OKCrete, we mix the color right into the concrete, ensuring color uniformity. This is not a sealant or paint applied afterwards, which can wear off or show if the concrete chips. Integral color is the best way to get uniform color, even if the concrete gets damaged.
For example, let’s say you choose Fox Red for the color of your driveway. If something were to ever happen to it and it chipped or a piece cracked off, it would still be Fox Red concrete underneath. This means that even if a chip does occur, it will not stand out from the rest of the concrete.

Why is integral coloring recommended?
OKCrete has tested all the ways to color concrete, and using integral color is the best by far.
Integral color concrete has color mixed into the “batter” of the concrete so the color is uniform throughout. It works beautifully for both indoor and outdoor uses, has UV stability, and is available for any new concrete job you have in mind.

Why Doesn’t OkCrete Offer Concrete Staining?
Integral concrete coloring is a process where pigments are added to the concrete mix before placement. This means that the color goes all the way through the concrete and cannot be worn or chipped away. This process has been around for over 100 years, and it’s the process we’ve found works best.
We use integral coloring at OKCrete because it ensures the shade of your integral color concrete will not fade. This is mainly because the options for colors are primarily earth tones — browns, tans, grays, and subtle reds — but also because of the coloring process. That means your integral color concrete will age much better than the methods of staining, dyeing, or color hardening.
In addition to earth tones, we can also achieve beautiful light blues and greens. If you want a brighter color, we can use integral colors as a base and add color hardeners, stains, or dyes to the surface for an enhanced hue.
