Moisture-Tolerant Build
We test the slab and, where vapour drive calls for it, prime with a moisture-mitigating base before the finish coat.
A basement floor has a problem most other rooms don’t: moisture moving up through the slab. Our basement flooring in San Antonio starts with a moisture read on the concrete, not a guess, so we know whether the slab needs a vapor-mitigating primer before anything else goes down. As a basement epoxy flooring contractor in Texas, we repair cracks and settle lines first, then install flake, wood-look, or metallic systems built to stay bonded through humidity swings instead of bubbling or lifting a year later. Whether you’re finishing a basement for the first time or replacing old carpet and tile, we scope it honestly and tell you up front if the slab needs extra prep.
Why Basement Coatings
A Dry, Bright Floor That Doesn’t Smell Like a Basement
Below-grade slabs move moisture upward. The system has to account for that before anything decorative goes down.
Seamless — No Grout Lines
Nowhere for damp, dust or mildew to sit, which is exactly where tile basements go wrong.
Reflects the Light You Have
A gloss or satin finish bounces limited basement lighting around instead of swallowing it.
Finished-Room Appearance
Flake and solid finishes that read as a finished living space rather than a utility floor.
Choose Your Finish
Two Ways to Finish a Basement
Flake Epoxy Basements
A sealed, seamless floor that copes with below-grade moisture and still reads as finished living space.
- Moisture-tolerant build beneath the finish
- No grout line for damp to sit in
- Warm flake finishes, not utility grey
- Mops clean, resists staining
Polished Concrete Basements
Grinding and polishing the slab you already have — no coating to lift, and it makes the most of limited light.
- Uses the existing slab
- Reflects what light the room gets
- Nothing to peel or delaminate
- Low-maintenance for decades

FAQ
Basement Flooring Questions
How much does basement epoxy flooring cost?
Most basements run $4,000–$7,000, depending on square footage and moisture prep needed. Get a free estimate for an exact number.
Will moisture cause the coating to fail?
Not with proper prep. We test every basement slab for moisture before quoting, and use a vapor-mitigating primer when the reading calls for it.
Can you install over cracks or old flooring?
Yes. Cracks are repaired and old flooring is removed and the slab is diamond-ground before coating so the new system bonds properly.
Do you offer a wood-look finish for basements?
Yes. Our wood-look epoxy gives you the look of hardwood with the moisture resistance a basement actually needs.
How long does a basement floor take to install?
Most basements are completed in one to two days, including moisture testing, repair, and coating.
