Property owners use their basements in a variety of ways. Some people use the extra space for storage, while others transform their basements into a home office, gym, or recreational space. Whatever purpose your basement serves, you want to maintain it like any other part of your property.
Whether you want to protect your basement floor from moisture or give it a new look, consider basement coatings. Without a coating, your basement floor may easily succumb to stains, scratches, moisture, and damage that may shorten its lifespan.
If you’ve been thinking about re-doing your basement floor, trust the experts at Concrete Coatings for award-winning polyurea and polyaspartic floor coating systems. In this post, we’ll discuss the reasons to coat your basement floor, benefits, costs, maintenance, and more.
Why Coat Your Basement Floor?
Basements tend to trap moisture and humidity. Coating your basement floor, therefore, helps make your space water-resistant. Our polyurea and polyaspartic coatings can also improve your floor’s aesthetic appeal, so you don’t have to struggle with a lackluster concrete floor.
Benefits of Basement Coatings
Coating your basement floors has several benefits.
Easy Maintenance
Basement coatings provide a smooth, uniform surface that makes cleaning and maintenance hassle-free. Cleaning your floor regularly with a broom and mop will keep your floor clean and free of dirt and debris.
Quick Installation Time
If you’re considering coating your basement, contact Concrete Coatings for a fast installation. Our polyaspartic and polyurea coatings boast fast cure times and are four times stronger than epoxy. We install basement coatings in one day to minimize your downtime.
Resistance to Damage
High-quality basement coatings resist chemicals, moisture, cracks, stains, and even impact from dropped objects—a worthy investment that will prolong your floor’s life.
Cost-effectiveness
Polyaspartic and polyurea coatings offer a cost-effective approach to improving your basement. A well-installed basement coating can save you thousands of dollars in floor replacement, and the ease of maintenance also translates to significant time and money savings.
Enhanced Floor Appearance
Basement coatings come in various materials and coating options that can breathe new life into your basement. With so many options from which to choose, we can help you create something unique that reflects your personality and style.
Increased Property Value
Basement coatings can also increase your property’s value. By providing a finished look and protecting the surface underneath the coating, you can make your home more attractive to potential buyers. You may benefit from quicker sales and a higher sale price.
Mitigated Moisture
Since basements are more likely to have moisture-related problems, they often face mold, mildew, and rotting issues. A basement coating helps mitigate moisture damage, as the top layer prevents moisture and water from getting into pores and cracks on the concrete floor.
How Much Do Basement Coatings Cost?
Basement coatings come at a cost. You must pay for materials and labor, which will significantly influence your decision to invest in basement coating or leave it bare.
The total cost of coating your basement depends on the following:
- The type of coating you choose
- The contractor you hire
- The surface area of your floor
- The condition of your floor
Overall, investing in basement coatings offers a significant return on investment, especially if you want to impress potential buyers and make the most out of your space. At Concrete Coatings, we want to help you make the best decision for your property.
We also offer competitive rates for high-quality polyurea/polyaspartic basement coatings.

If you’re new to the world of floor coatings, you’re probably overwhelmed by all the concrete coating options and their benefits. Nonetheless, it helps to know how to best care for your investment. The following tips will help you make the most of your basement coatings and extend their useful life:
- Sweep or vacuum your basement floor regularly to remove dirt and debris
