Custom Stained Concrete Floors in Mueller, Austin

Homeowners ask us about stained concrete floors in Mueller, here in Austin. It's a planned neighborhood of about 700 acres on the old Robert Mueller Municipal Airport site in central east Austin, along Airport Boulevard. Mueller's houses, townhomes, and condos were all built after 2007. Owners there ask about polished concrete, garage coatings, and patio resurfacing too. We take jobs around Mueller Lake Park and Aldrich Street, and in Windsor Park and Cherrywood next door, case by case. We've worked out of Austin since 2001 and confirm each Mueller address before we put it on the calendar.

Mueller is on our list of possible service areas. Before you book, check coverage and timing with us.

  • Serving Austin since 2001

Getting Your Mueller Job on the Calendar

Mueller sits along Airport Boulevard, and I-35 runs past its northwest edge. When we take a job in the area, those two roads get our crew to homes in Windsor Park, Cherrywood, North Loop, Crestview, and St. John. They get us to mixed use and business properties near Aldrich Street and Mueller Lake Park too. Most days our equipment leaves with us. If something has to stay at the house, we'll clear it with you first.

We can't commit to a set response time for Mueller jobs. When we can start depends on our calendar, the size of your slab, and how many trips the job takes. Send the room measurements and a few photos, and we'll give you an estimated date range from our current calendar. Weather, supply delays, and site conditions can still shift that range.

Access affects the quote: where the trailer parks, whether there's power, and whether stairs are the only way in. Once we start, nothing goes back in the room until it has dried and cured. When the job is done, we walk you through care, cure times, and upkeep. If something worries you after we leave, get in touch and we'll talk it over.

What Your Slab Needs Before Concrete Staining

Almost every home in Mueller, from Yard homes and Row homes to townhomes and condos, went up after 2007 as part of the redevelopment. Builders here finished those slabs in different ways, and that changes how the concrete takes stain and polish. These newer slabs are often flatter and less patched than the ones in older Austin homes. But they still need prep.

Stain won't soak through leftover curing compound, so when a slab has it, we grind that off first. Many of these slabs were machine troweled so tight that they don't soak up much. Garage floors here often haven't been ground with diamond tooling yet, and an epoxy or polyaspartic coating needs that to grip.

Why not pick a color and get started? Tight concrete like this takes acid stain differently than an older, more open slab, and water based stains and polish act differently on it too. So we typically test a small area before we agree on a color. We won't quote a finish off a photo (not even a good one).

We look at each Mueller slab on its own. A street address tells us nothing about the concrete under your floor.

Why Mueller is a good fit for us

Mueller's newer houses and townhomes sit on ground level slabs, and those suit stain, polish, and garage coatings. That work is our whole trade, and it's why Mueller is on this page. We don't have an office in the neighborhood.

Each job lists what the work took, next to photos of the finish. Hold that up against the look you want, and ask us how it would differ on your slab.

Questions

Questions we get about Mueller

Do you cover Mueller for decorative concrete work?
Mueller is on our list of possible service areas, not a confirmed one. Send the address, rough square footage, and a few slab photos, and we'll tell you if and when we can do it. From our Austin base, we get requests from Windsor Park, Cherrywood, North Loop, Crestview, St. John, and the central Austin neighborhoods around them. We confirm coverage job by job.
Do you have an office or crew based in Mueller?
No. We're a decorative concrete specialist based in Austin, and we get to Mueller on Airport Boulevard and Interstate 35. We don't claim a local office or depot that we don't have.
How soon can you start a job in Mueller?
That depends on the current calendar and the scope. The more prep, tile or carpet removal, and coats of sealer a job needs, the later we can usually start. Your proposal comes with an estimated date range. Weather, material availability, or conditions on site can push those dates around.
Which decorative concrete services are available in Mueller?
You can ask us about all seven of our services in Mueller, and we confirm coverage before we book. That means stained concrete floors, polished concrete, epoxy and metallic epoxy, overlays and microtoppings, patio resurfacing, countertop resurfacing, and floor restoration. Most jobs go in three steps: check the slab, prep it, seal it. Your written proposal names every step we'll take on your floor.
Do garage slabs in newer central east Austin homes need different prep?
It's the slab that sets the prep, not the part of town. Where it's needed, we grind with diamond tooling to give the coating a surface it can hold. Moisture testing is a call we make per slab and per coating system. Even a slab poured after 2007 can hold enough moisture to lift a coating. You'll see the full list of steps in your written proposal.
How much does concrete staining cost in Mueller?
What shape your slab is in, its square footage, any old flooring to pull up, and the finish you choose all set the price. A plain stain job typically runs less per square foot than new tile or hardwood. Send a few photos and measurements, and we'll give you a price for your own floor.
What are the downsides of staining concrete?
Stain won't cover up what's in the slab. Cracks, patches, and glue residue all show in the finished floor. Color varies with how much each spot soaks up, and concrete is hard underfoot. When we see your slab, we'll walk you through these so nothing surprises you.
Is stained concrete a good choice for Mueller's newer homes?
Mueller's houses and townhomes went up after 2007 on ground level slabs. With proper care, stained concrete is typically a tough, low maintenance floor on them. It works well in the open living areas you see in a lot of the Yard homes and townhomes. How it turns out depends on your slab, so we typically test a small area before we settle on a color.

Still deciding?

Send a couple of photos along with the room size and the flooring you have now. Before you commit to anything, you'll know what the slab needs.
