Why Basement Floors Need a Dedicated Coating

Basement concrete deals with different stress than a garage floor. Moisture vapor rising through the slab, musty odors, and failed DIY paint jobs are common problems in older basements. Bare concrete also produces dust and stains easily under regular foot traffic.

Polyurea-polyaspartic systems seal the slab against moisture and provide a durable, easy-to-clean surface. The flake broadcast hides minor surface imperfections and gives the room a finished look, whether it becomes a gym, a workshop, or a storage space.

Our Basement Floor Coating Process

Our crew starts with an inspection of the slab and a moisture test. Cracks, old adhesive, and failed coatings get ground down or patched before anything new goes on.

A moisture barrier goes down first on slabs that need one. Our crew then rolls the polyurea base coat and broadcasts color flakes by hand, finishing with a polyaspartic topcoat for traction and durability.

What Comes With Every MotorCity Basement Floor

Most basement floors finish in a single day, compared to the multi-day cure time of standard epoxy. Every installation carries a lifetime residential warranty.

Our coatings resist moisture, stains, and daily wear, so the floor holds up whether the room becomes a playroom, a home gym, or extra storage.

Tile Removal and Slab Patching Set Up Berwyn Street's Silver Creek Floor

Our crew removed the old tile from one room’s floor. We patched cracks and rough spots in the other room’s slab. Both rooms were ready for a fresh coating system.

A Silver Creek Coat Finishes Both Basement Rooms

Our crew applied the base coat across both rooms. We broadcast Silver Creek flakes for a consistent look. A clear topcoat sealed the finish over two installation days.

Morgan Strehl

The crew spent most of last week polishing and sealing the concrete floors in my loft. What started as raw, untouched concrete turned into a beautiful, shiny floor. It completely transformed the space. The guys were great to work with throughout the process.

What This Birmingham Basement Floor Actually Needed

This Berwyn Street basement spans two rooms: a laundry room and a storage room. One room had an old tile floor, and the other had cracked, uneven concrete.

Our crew removed the tile, patched the rough slab, then built up a base coat with Silver Creek flakes across both rooms.

Bradford Road's Painted Slab Becomes a Silver Creek Laundry Room

Bradford Road, Birmingham, MI

Bradford Road’s basement laundry room holds 365 square feet of open concrete. No steps or vertical walls interrupt the space. Old paint covered the slab when our crew arrived.

Grinding and a Small Patch Clear the Painted Slab

Our crew ground the old paint off the slab. A small area near the drain needed light patching. The repair stayed minor across the whole room.

An MC 4.2 Base Coat Brings In Silver Creek

Our crew spread an MC 4.2 base coat across the laundry room. We broadcast Silver Creek flakes over the wet coat. A clear topcoat sealed the finish in a single day.

Knox Street's Cracked Slab Gets a Moisture Barrier and Stoney Creek Finish

Knox Street, Birmingham, MI

Knox Street’s basement spans 544 square feet. No steps and no vertical walls break up the floor plan. Old paint and a run of cracks covered the slab. Our crew had real repair work ahead before any coating could start.

Grinding Removes the Old Paint From the Slab

Our crew ground the painted surface down to bare concrete. The grinding pass also opened up the cracks for repair. The slab was rough and ready for patching next.

Mending Closes the Cracks Across the Floor

Our crew filled the cracks with a two-part mender. The repairs covered much of the slab. A moisture barrier went down once the mender cured.

An MC 4.3 Base Coat Sets the Stoney Creek Finish

Our crew spread an MC 4.3 base coat across the room. We broadcast Stoney Creek flakes with no added traction. The topcoat dried clear, sealing the finish over two days on site.

Polo Place's Flood-Damaged Tile Gives Way to a Silver Creek Basement

Polo Place, Birmingham, MI

Polo Place’s basement spans 884 square feet at the bottom of a 12-step staircase. No vertical walls break up the room. Tile covered half the floor until an earlier flood ruined it. Testing confirmed the adhesive residue held no asbestos.

Our crew pulled the remaining tile and sticky residue from half the floor. Light cracks and pits across the slab got a two-part patch. The repairs stayed minor despite the flood damage.

An MC 3.8 Base Coat Brings In Silver Creek

Our crew rolled an MC 3.8 base coat across the entire room. Silver Creek flakes went down next for color. The crew closed it out with a clear topcoat over two days of work.

How big do basement floor coating jobs in Birmingham run?

Birmingham basement jobs have ranged from 365 to 884 square feet so far. Our crew scopes each project to the specific rooms our clients want coated.

Why does one basement coat two separate rooms and another coats just one?

Berwyn Street’s job covered both a laundry room and a storage room. Bradford Road’s job covered only its laundry room. Our crew coats whatever rooms our clients choose.

Why does only one basement include a staircase in its scope?

Polo Place has 12 wood steps leading into the basement. Our crew coats steps only when a particular basement calls for it.

Why does one basement get a moisture barrier and another doesn't?

Knox Street’s slab needed a moisture barrier before the base coat. Our crew checks moisture on every job. A barrier goes down only when the reading calls for it.
