Basement floor epoxy turns a gray, dusty slab into a floor you can live on. We coat basement floors across Central Pennsylvania, from Lock Haven out to State College and Williamsport. Most of what goes down in a basement is a full flake system in a light color. It cleans up fast and it hides the marks an older slab already carries.
A basement slab is a different job than a garage floor. It stays cool and often damp, so we check the slab for moisture first. Next comes diamond grinding the slab, which opens the concrete so the coating can grip. If carpet, tile or laminate is still down, we pull the old flooring out first.

Basement concrete floor paint is the usual first try. It rolls on over a swept slab and looks right for a season. Store bought floor paint dries into a film about two mils thick, thinner than a sheet of paper. It wears through by the stairs and lifts wherever the slab stays damp.
A two part epoxy system is built the other way around. The slab gets ground first, so the coating locks into open concrete instead of sitting on top. The build is many times thicker than paint, and a clear topcoat carries the wear. That is what decides how long a basement floor coating lasts.
Prep is where most of the work goes. Old paint, adhesive and thinset come off, and cracks and spalls get patched. The company is backed by about 30 years of commercial flooring experience. That prep habit comes from the commercial side of the trade.
Every basement slab has ground under it, and ground holds water. That water moves up through the concrete as vapor. Summer is the hard season, when warm, wet air comes down the stairs and meets a cool slab. Williamsport averages close to a dozen muggy days in a normal July.
Plastic sheeting under a slab only came into common use around the 1950s. Plenty of older basement floors around here sit straight on soil or gravel. About half of Williamsport's homes were built before 1940, and Lock Haven carries a lot of the same age. Moisture working through that kind of slab can leave a white, chalky powder on the surface.
So we check the slab before we coat it. A taped down sheet of plastic left overnight tells us a lot. Water under the plastic or a dark patch on the concrete means moisture is still moving. Coating makers set a limit, and most want the slab under about 75 percent relative humidity.
A basement floor gets used harder than people expect. Laundry rooms take detergent spills and water from a hose that let go. Workshops take dropped tools, sawdust and bench legs getting dragged around. Rec rooms take furniture, foot traffic and whatever comes down the stairs.
Flake is the finish we put down most in a basement. Color chips get broadcast into the wet base coat until the slab is covered. The blend hides the patches, stains and trowel marks an older floor already carries. The tan flake basement floor in our photos is one of our own full broadcast flake systems.
Light colors do real work down there. Most basements have small windows. A pale floor with a gloss topcoat pushes what light there is around the room. A metallic epoxy floor is the other option for a finished rec room.
From the first call or text to the final walkthrough of the finished work, here is how it goes.

We measure the space and look the slab over for cracks, old coatings and damp spots. Then you get a free estimate with the system and the color laid out.
Diamond grinding opens the concrete so the coating can grip it, and it takes off old paint, sealer and adhesive. Cracks and small spalls get filled before anything is coated.
The base coat rolls out over the prepped slab. On a flake floor the chips get broadcast into the wet base coat, then the loose flake gets scraped off.
A clear topcoat seals the floor and gives it the surface you walk on. Cure time moves with the temperature inside, and we go over the finished floor with you before we leave.

Flake epoxy flooring puts a full layer of colored vinyl chips into a wet base coat, then seals it under a clear topcoat. You get color and texture in place of bare gray concrete.

We tear out tile, carpet, hardwood, laminate and glued down vinyl. The debris goes with us and the floor is left ready for what comes next.
Learn MoreThree decades of commercial flooring work sit behind this company. That background sets how we prep a slab and pick the system for the floor in front of us.
We coat garages, basements, rec rooms and workshops in homes. We also handle shops, service bays, warehouses and back-of-house floors for businesses.
The old floor comes out, the slab gets ground and repaired, and the coating goes down. One company owns every step, from the tear-out through the final topcoat.
Estimates are free anywhere in our working area, about 35 miles around Lock Haven. That reaches Clinton, Centre, Lycoming, Union and Northumberland counties.
