It costs between $600 and $8,400 to stain an average-size concrete patio of around 300 square feet.

Yes, you can seal an old concrete floor as long as you remove stains and repair damage before sealing. Remove everything from the garage and clear the floor throughout with a concrete cleaner and power washing.
