  • This is exactly the video I was looking for. 👍 Isn't it amazing how he just can be useful years after the fact you make a video!!

    Thank you for sharing this because I’ve painted my patio before and it hasn’t lasted. I’ve heard you mention that you’re from Buffalo. I’m from Erie so I appreciate your warning about planning on good weather to complete this project. Your patio looks very nice! You did a good job! Again, thank you for a calm thoughtful teaching method and for sharing how to make a patio transformation. May God Bless you!!!😊
  • Thanks a lot for great video clip .Thx for not using any background annoying music ,loved your excellent presentation.
  • @kjguitarman
    Well done 👏🏻. You gave us the confidence to do this ourselves instead of spending thousands on a job that would most likely turn out....meh...Thank you for posting the video!
  • I'm a widow and learning to color and seal my patio. Hope it turns out. Your looks lovely 😍
  • @grussem
    Thanks for the great video! I'm going to be doing this soon. Also, I had those same pants.........in 1993. Once again, thanks!

    That’s a very elaborate job. I simply vacuum and sweep the area and roll the stain without any extra steps. I do my lanai, drive and walkway every couple of years. I only use sealer for the drive and walkway because they get direct sunlight.
  • Excellent information on the process for staining a driveway. Thanks for sharing the various tools and products to use.
  • @oscarc7853
    Amazing video. Way to tell a story. I’m so looking into this. Thank you.

    Our Cottage of a home we dwell in has similarities to something designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. This will finally be the time that I stain our cement walkways with a Cherokee Red as a nod to the master. Your video is extremely helpful. Ironically I just purchased a 3300 PSI gas power washer for our boat, outdoor furniture etc. Anyone that has ever owned or rented a power washer knows how it goes, you end up power washing everything you own. It’s quite addictive and the perfect tool for this cement staining project.

    Will be keen to see how this has aged in 2 years

    My husband and I just put in a concrete paver patio and looking to stain the pavers. This is excellent for what we are looking to do to warm up the look of the concrete.
  • @ZeitKist
    Excellent and informative but ultimately I come here for the fashion.
  • This was really interesting to watch I appreciate you sharing! May try this on my back patio
  • @spectrumifs
    Huge improvement in the way your patio looks and the Mojave perfectly complements color of your house! I'm looking for a similar color, perhaps a little lighter, sand-type, shade. I'll check out their other stain colors. Great info and straight to the point!
