Basement epoxy flooring replaces a cold, powdery slab with a sealed surface that shrugs off water, dropped weights and spilled detergent. Lower levels that have ever had a damp corner are where it pays off most.
We put basement epoxy flooring into rec rooms, home gyms, laundry areas, storage rooms and hobby workshops. Carpet and laminate hold onto moisture and start to smell when a basement takes on water, while a coated slab dries off and carries on.
Well over half the homes in Prince George were built before 1981. A good share of them, especially in the VLA, Van Bien, Millar Addition and the Crescents, have basement slabs poured straight onto the ground with no poly underneath. Vapour moves up through that concrete and can lift a coating from below.
Every slab gets tested before we price basement epoxy flooring. A high reading means a vapour-blocking primer goes down first. A normal reading means we grind and coat the usual way. Either way, you see the reading and the plan.
Plenty of basements carry old paint, carpet glue or tile adhesive on the concrete. Basement epoxy flooring will not stay stuck to any of those for long, so we grind all of it away first.
We also fill cracks and feather out low spots, so the finished floor is flat under bare feet. Where the slab has settled or heaved badly, the repair work is shown as its own line on the estimate.
A coated basement slab will not heat the room, but it does feel different underfoot than raw concrete, and it stops the dust that drifts up from bare floors. Many people add area rugs over basement epoxy flooring in sitting areas and leave the gym and laundry bare.
Chip finishes are the most popular for basements, because they hide dust and add a little texture. Gym floors can get extra grit and a thicker wear layer for dropped plates. For a rec room or home bar, metallic epoxy flooring gives a polished stone look.
Basement epoxy flooring usually runs about $4 to $8 per square foot here, depending on the condition of the slab and the finish you pick.
Floor drains and sump pits are the low points of a basement, and water finds them first. We grind right up to the drain ring and the sump lid, then carry the coating down into the drain so water runs off rather than pooling at the edge.
Around a sump, the lid stays removable so a plumber can still reach the pump. If the furnace or water heater sits on the slab, we coat around its base and leave a clean edge, so nothing you may need to service later gets sealed in place.

Lots of projects pair a garage coat with a basement floor, or a shop coat with slab repairs.
Garage floor coating keeps salty slush and drip oil sitting on the surface, where a squeegee can move them, rather than soaking into the slab. Every garage gets a diamond grind first, which gives the resin real concrete to grab.

A shop floor coating shields the concrete in a working bay from oil, coolant, road salt and falling steel. It is built heavier than a house garage floor, with grit locked in so mechanics stay on their feet when the bay is wet.

Industrial epoxy flooring gives a plant a thick, sealed surface built for forklifts, hot water, oil and chemicals. The thickness is set area by area, according to what rolls and spills across each part of the floor.

Polyaspartic floor coating is the quick-setting option for cold Prince George garages and shops. Each coat firms up within hours, even in temperatures that would stall ordinary epoxy, and most floors take a vehicle about two days later.

A warehouse floor coating ends concrete dust, brightens the building and protects the slab from forklift wear. It is one of the least expensive ways to make a warehouse easier to clean and safer to work in.

A coated commercial floor is joint-free, mops clean, resists stains and holds up to carts, rolling chairs and winter boots. It replaces tired tile, carpet and bare concrete in clinics, offices, shops, showrooms and staff rooms.

Concrete floor repair is the groundwork under every good coating. We chase out cracks, rebuild chipped joint edges, fill pits and patch scaled spots, and we fix failed coatings and floors worn thin as well.

Spilled acid, caustic, solvent and fuel will eat bare concrete and ordinary epoxy, and a chemical resistant floor coating is the barrier that stops them. Battery rooms, chemical stores, labs, wash bays and process areas are where it belongs.

A metallic floor is a decorative resin finish with swirls of shimmering colour that look like polished marble or stone. It goes over concrete in basements, home bars, offices and showrooms.
