Basement Floor Coating Case Studies in St. Clair Shores, MI
On this page, we document basement floor coating projects in St. Clair Shores, MI. Our polyurea-polyaspartic coating system converts bare or cracked basement concrete into a durable, finished floor.
Beverly Street’s basement needed old paint stripped and light crack and pitting repair before a Safari finish. Erben Street’s basement needed crack repair before a Smoke finish. Liberty Street’s basement, split into an office and a brewery, needed paint removal before a Slatestone finish. Rockwood Street’s basement needed no repairs at all before a Pebble Beach finish.
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.
Beverly Street's Basement Trades Old Paint for Safari Flake
A St. Clair Shores homeowner chose Safari flake for a 443-square-foot basement floor. Old paint covered the slab, with light pitting and small cracks underneath. Our crew planned to strip, patch, and recoat the entire space.
Stripping Old Paint and Patching the Slab
Our crew stripped the old paint down to bare concrete first. Light pitting and small cracks got patched before anything else happened. The slab needed to be sound and level before any coating could go down.
Broadcasting Safari Flake Across the Floor
Our crew rolled an Mc3.9 basecoat across the patched slab. We broadcast Safari flakes by hand for an even blend. A 16-grit topcoat finished the floor with dependable traction.

The stripped, patched slab now sits beneath one continuous Safari floor. Our clients have a durable, clean basement in St. Clair Shores.
