Transform your basement into a clean, comfortable, and functional space with a durable floor coating from Garage Floor Masters. Whether you’re fighting moisture, looking for easy-to-clean surfaces, or simply want a modern finished look, our epoxy and polyaspartic coatings are built to handle it all.
Why Coat Your Basement Floor?
Bare concrete basements often feel damp, dusty, and unfinished. With a professionally installed coating, you’ll enjoy:
- A sealed surface that resists moisture and odors.
- A smooth, attractive finish that brightens the room.
- A durable surface that can handle heavy storage, workout equipment, or foot traffic.
- Low-maintenance floors that clean up with just a sweep or mop.
Our Basement Coating Process
While epoxy has its place, it does have drawbacks you’ll want to know before making a decision:
Surface Preparation
We begin by mechanically grinding the surface to remove dust, stains, and imperfections. Proper prep ensures your coating bonds tightly and lasts for years.
Concrete Repairs
Cracks, pits, or uneven spots are repaired using professional-grade fillers. A smooth, level base guarantees a seamless finish.
Base Coat & Decorative Flake
We apply a polyurea or epoxy base coat, then broadcast TORGINOL® Polymer ColorFlakes™ for texture, slip resistance, and design. Choose from over 140 colors or our 15 most popular East Tennessee blends.
Scraping & Smoothing
Once the base sets, we scrape away excess flake and vacuum the surface, creating a level, uniform finish.
Clear Top Coat
We finish with a polyaspartic clear coat that resists chemicals, abrasions, and UV rays. This top layer seals the floor, giving it strength, beauty, and a long life.
Benefits of Basement Floor Coatings
- Moisture Resistance – Seals concrete pores to prevent dampness and musty odors.
- Improved Aesthetics – Decorative flakes and glossy finishes make your basement feel like a true living space.
- Durability – Resists chips, peeling, and scratches from storage bins, furniture, or gym gear.
- Low Maintenance – Easy to clean, no waxing or resealing required.
- Slip Resistance – Textured flakes add traction, making basements safer for kids and pets.
Polyaspartic vs. Epoxy in Basements
Both epoxy and polyaspartic coatings can work well indoors. Epoxy is the traditional, cost-effective option, but polyaspartic offers:
Faster installation with next-day use.
Superior adhesion for long-term durability.
UV stability if your basement has windows or natural light.
Longer warranty coverage.
