Basement, shop and business floors
Same grinder, same prep as a garage. We change the texture and the topcoat to suit what the floor has to put up with.
The usual jobs
Basement rooms
Half storage, half rec room, usually a treadmill in the corner. Sealing the slab stops the grey dust bare concrete sheds, and a mop handles the rest.
Acreage and farm shops
Out toward Balzac and Crossfield the shops are big and the trucks come in muddy. We build these thicker and rough up the finish by the doors and the wash area.
Warehouses and bays
Seals in concrete dust, takes pallet jacks and forklifts, and can carry painted lanes. We work around your shifts.
Kennels and vet clinics
One continuous surface with no grout lines to hold anything. Hose it, disinfect it, repeat. A cove base up the wall is an option.
Storefronts and showrooms
Pick a solid colour, flake or metallic. The clear coat on top is what deals with slushy boots from November to April.
What the topcoat has to handle
Traction
We mix grit into the clear coat. Light for a basement, coarse for a wash bay. We bring sample boards so you can stand on them in your own boots.
Spills and chemicals
Motor oil, coolant, brine and de-icer clean up with a rag. Using something harsher, like solvents? Tell us and we’ll pick a coating that holds up to it.
A finished look
Metallic epoxy flows and settles into soft swirls. It belongs in a basement or a showroom more than a working bay.
Basements get a moisture reading before anything else
Concrete below grade can draw damp up out of the ground. Seal over that and you get bubbles under the coating.
We put a meter on every basement slab before we price it. A high number means a primer built for damp concrete, or a straight answer that the floor needs to wait. For businesses, we use fast-curing polyaspartic and split the floor into sections so you don’t have to close. Nights and weekends are on the table when the job allows it.

We measure, test the slab for moisture and leave a written price. Free, and usually within the week.
