Basement Floor Coating Project in Plymouth, MI

Last updated: October 30, 2026

On this page, we document basement floor coating projects in Plymouth, MI. Our polyurea-polyaspartic coating system converts bare or cracked basement concrete into a durable, finished floor.

West Ann Arbor Trail needed grinding and floating over a trenched section before a Carbon finish, Hackberry Avenue needed a patch repair and a moisture barrier before a Pebble Beach finish, Weston Drive needed patch repair for old carpet pitting before a Driftwood finish, and Byron Street went straight from bare concrete to a Granite finish — all done in our flake coating system.

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.

West Ann Arbor Trail's Trenched Slab Gets a Carbon Flake Finish

West Ann Arbor Trail, Plymouth, MI
West Ann Arbor Trail’s basement spans 330 square feet in Plymouth. An old DIY paint job covered the slab. A trenched, plumbing-related section sat near the door. It needed grinding and floating before any coating could go down.

Grinding and Floating the Trenched Area

Our crew ground down the trenched section close to the door. We floated the area level with the rest of the slab. This step gave the new coating a flat surface to bond to.

Tinting the Basecoat Black

Our crew tinted the basecoat black instead of the usual grey or tan. This custom base sets up the Carbon flake blend above it. Our clients chose the darker look for this basement.

Finishing with the Carbon Flake Blend

Our crew broadcast the Carbon flake blend across the basecoat. A clear polyaspartic topcoat sealed the floor without added traction.

A Finished Basement on West Ann Arbor Trail

The trenched area and old paint sit sealed beneath the new coating. Our crew finished all 330 square feet in Carbon. Our clients now have a durable floor near the basement door.

Testimonials

Regina Kinczkowski

The crew did a great job on our basement. Finished in one day. We are very happy with the end result and would recommend Motor City Flooring.

Deke

New floor prepped and laid in entire basement. The crew was on time and extremely patient while they waited for me to deal with the city regarding road repair. This put them behind an hour, but they were very understanding. The finished job is fantastic. They worked hard and it shows. Very professional demeanor too. I would, and have, recommended MotorCity to others based on my experience.

What This Plymouth Basement Slab Actually Needed

Old DIY paint jobs are common in older Michigan basements. A trenched, plumbing-related section near a basement door added another repair step. The West Ann Arbor Trail project needed both addressed before coating could start.

Our crew ground the trenched area and floated it flush with the slab. We also tinted the basecoat black for a different look. Every basement we coat gets the same standard. We assess and prep the slab before the coating system goes down.

A Two-Phase Pebble Beach Floor for Hackberry Avenue

Hackberry Avenue, Plymouth, MI
Hackberry Avenue’s basement covers 722 square feet in Plymouth. No steps and no vertical surfaces needed coating. Our crew split the job into two visits. The first phase handled patching and the moisture barrier.

Patching After Waterproofing Repairs

Someone had already done waterproofing repairs on this basement. Our crew cleaned up and patched where that work left marks. This cleanup covered all the floor prep work needed here.

Rolling On the Moisture Barrier

Our crew rolled a moisture barrier across the full basement. We mixed in a 4.5% moisture control additive for extra protection. Phase one wrapped up once this barrier cured.

Phase Two Brings the Pebble Beach Finish

Our crew returned a week later to broadcast the Pebble Beach flake blend. A clear polyaspartic topcoat sealed the floor without added traction. The speckled finish brightens the whole room.

Hackberry Avenue's Two-Phase Basement, Complete

Our clients moved everything to one side of the basement for the first visit. Everything switched sides before the second visit began. The new Pebble Beach floor now covers all 722 square feet.

Driftwood Flake Covers Old Carpet Marks on Weston Drive

Weston Drive, Plymouth, MI
Old carpet once covered this Weston Drive basement. Pulling it up left pitting across the slab. Our crew patched those spots before any coating went down. The finished room spans 728 square feet, with no steps or vertical surfaces to coat.

Filling In the Carpet-Strip Pitting

Our crew filled each pitted spot left by the old carpet strip. We leveled every patch flush with the surrounding slab. This prep gave the basecoat a solid surface to grip.

Sealing It All in Driftwood

Our crew broadcast the Driftwood flake blend across the full basement. A polyaspartic topcoat with standard traction sealed the floor. Every patch now sits hidden beneath an even finish.

No More Pitting on Weston Drive

The old pitting on this Weston Drive floor is gone for good. Our clients now have a smooth basement floor in Driftwood. The space is ready for whatever comes next.
