What to use as a finish on a cement front stoop?

Question

I'm looking for suggestions on what to do with my front stoop. It is poured concerete, it's ugly. I'm not sure what kind of a finish I can put on it, over course that won't be slippery. thanks

Answer 1

i'd tile it .......

Answer 2

A concrete overlay in a slate texture or shot in an attractive non-skid dot pattern would be an excellent choice. Both would be non-slip and very attractive. Please look up decorative concrete contractors for your area. Or if you are feeling adventurous you can do it yourself. Please do plenty of research on products and techniques. concretenetwork is a great information source.

I would use Behr concrete stain from Homedepot.  It will last and looks good.  It cost about $25.00 gallon but it is great.
