We are considering to have the cement floor in our finished basement
done with a color acid stain and polish (then use some area rugs in
couch areas). They even have stamps that can duplicate the texture of
slate or tile. My question is, What is the approximate price range
(per sqft) to get this done. We'd most likely just want a deep
brown/terricota stain and strong polish done to the floor (texture is
not necessary). I know very little about this floor type, but it looks
real nice and seems to need very little maintenance. Are there are
gotchas? The cement down now (basic basement cement slab), is in great
condition (flat, no cracks, etc). In the off case that water gets in
basement (broken pipe, etc...) does this hold up, I assume it would).
Thanks

about the same price as laying a good quality of tile. it's different in all
areas of the country. try using your yellow pages and asking for a couple of
quotes.
