We'll show you step by step how to professionally renovate an outdoor concrete staircase. Our focus is on effective cleaning, priming and coating with concrete paint to not only improve the appearance of the staircase, but also increase its safety and durability.

Detailed instructions for the first, second and, if necessary, third coat will help you achieve a perfect result.
