Basement Floor Coating Project in Troy, MI

Last updated: October 26, 2026

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

Hillcrescent Drive needed old paint ground off the slab and a handful of minor repairs, Balfour Drive needed crack and carpet-strip repairs plus a coated staircase, Montclair Drive needed adhesive removal and crack repairs across two installation phases, and Tarragona Way needed crack repairs and a moisture barrier — all finished 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.

Hillcrescent Drive's Main Room Trades Old Paint for a Slatestone Finish

Hillcrescent Dr, Troy, MI

Hillcrescent Drive’s basement spans 330 square feet in the main room. Closets stayed out of scope for this job. Old paint and a few minor flaws covered the slab before work began.

Paint Removal and Light Repairs Clear the Slab

Our crew ground away the old paint across the main room. A handful of minor repairs took care of the rest. A moisture check came back at 4 percent before coating began.

A Slatestone Finish Closes Out the Main Room

Our crew spread the base coat across the main room. We broadcast Slatestone flakes with 16-grit traction for texture. A clear topcoat sealed the room from wall to wall.

Hillcrescent Drive's Main Room Now Carries a Slatestone Floor

The old paint and minor repairs sit sealed beneath the new coating. Our crew finished the main room’s 330 square feet in Slatestone. Our clients have a fresh floor ready for daily use.

Testimonials

Patrick McClatchey

The do-it-yourself garage floor coating that I applied 21 years ago, lasted the 10 years it was supposed to last. My garage floor was pitted from winter salt, with some serious cracks, and the diy coating completely gone in most areas. MCF&C sanded off the old coating, repaired the pitts, sealed the cracks, applied their primer/sealer, put down the colored flakes, and finished with their clear top coat. I now have a brand new looking garage floor guaranteed to look this good for 15 years. I am completely satisfied with the MCF&C refinished garage floor.

Stephen Harris

The guys were careful and courteous. When rain loomed on the horizon they stopped in time to shield the garage floor to keep it from getting wet. The guys explained that if they continued and started to put on the final clear coat it could have been ruined if it got wet. Great timing as it rained like holy hell moments after they left for the day. They know what they are doing! Excellent finished floor 2 days later.

Montclair Drive's 1,160-Square-Foot Basement Finishes in Two Phases of Stoney Creek

Montclair Dr, Troy, MI

Montclair Drive’s basement totals 1,160 square feet, with no steps or vertical walls. Pitting and cracks marked the slab, along with light adhesive residue. Our crew split the job into two installation phases to manage the full scope.

Grinding and Crack Repairs Clear the Full Basement

Our crew ground off the light adhesive residue across both phases. Pitted spots and cracks got a two-part patch throughout. The full 1,160 square feet sat ready for its base coat.

Our crew coated the first 700 square feet at MC 3.7 on June 11. The remaining 460 square feet followed at MC 3.8 on June 18. Stoney Creek flakes and standard traction tied both phases together.

Montclair Drive's Basement Now Finishes as One Continuous Stoney Creek Floor

Testimonials

Roger Bouchard

We had wanted to get our garage floor done for some time and ended up choosing Motor City after getting quotes and asking a lot of questions. The length of time this company has been in business as well as reviews from others influenced our choice of providers. They communicated well and we’re here on time. It took 7.5 hours to complete our garage and front porch and they did a great job cleaning up afterwards. The floor is beautiful and we are happy with this decision. We also are pleased with the warranty on the floors.

Herb Schulke

I am very happy with the finished product on my garage floor. Insulation took just a few hours. The curing time was a couple of days due to the cold temperatures. I chose a medium course finish on the floor to prevent slippage however, in hindsight, I should’ve chosen a smooth finish to facilitate, crawling on the floor if I needed to.

Tarragona Way's Basement Gets a Moisture Barrier and a Pecan Finish

Tarragona Way, Troy, MI

Tarragona Way’s basement needed a repair pass before any coating could go down. Cracks ran across the slab under the built-in cabinetry. Our crew added a moisture barrier at the client’s request before the color went on.

Crack Repairs Mend the Slab Before Coating

Our crew chased each crack with a two-part filler. The compound bonded the slab back into one solid surface. The basement floor sat ready once the repairs cured.

A Moisture Barrier Sets Up the Pecan Finish

Our crew added a moisture barrier ahead of the base coat. We broadcast Pecan flakes across the basement floor. A clear topcoat sealed the finish from wall to wall.

Tarragona Way's Basement Now Carries a Pecan Floor

The old cracks sit beneath a moisture barrier and the new coating. Our crew finished the basement floor in Pecan. Our clients have a sealed, matching floor throughout.

Testimonials

Ann Collver

My garage was built in the early 1950s. Over the years it had become pitted and collected dirt that easily got tracked into the house. I am absolutely thrilled with the job MotorCity Floors and Coatings did for me. From the day of contact until today I have greatly appreciated their open,honest, and no-pressure discussion of what I needed and what they could AND DID for my garage. I would highly recommend them to anyone. It’s really difficult to get good pictures but it’s beautiful. The advantage of the ease of cleaning will make a huge difference in my life.

Adam Pielecha

Reasonable price. MCF handled the apparatus bay in our south station. Floor came out excellent. Great communication and had a plan to work around a busy fire station. Highly recommend.
