Basement Floor Coatings

Southeast Michigan
Turn Your Damp, Dusty Basement Into a Clean, Permanent Living Space.
Michigan basements are notoriously damp. Traditional flooring like carpet, tile, or "peel-and-stick" vinyl traps moisture, leading to mold, mildew, and expensive failures. At Killen Epoxy, we provide a breathable, waterproof coating system that seals your concrete while creating a stunning, easy-to-clean finish that lasts a lifetime.
In our region, concrete slabs "breathe" moisture from the soil. If you trap that moisture under a non-breathable layer, it creates hydrostatic pressure that pops the coating off the floor. At Killen Epoxy, we don't just "paint" your basement. We use a professional-grade moisture vapor barrier as our base coat. This system is engineered to handle the specific moisture levels found in Michigan basements, ensuring your floor stays bonded and your air stays clean. No mold, no damp smells—just a permanent, high-performance surface.

Our 4-Step System
We believe in transparency. We don't hide our process behind fancy marketing names. Here is the professional-grade breakdown of exactly what we build on your concrete:
We use dust-shrouded grinders to remove old paint and sealers. This opens the concrete's pores so our coating can fuse deeply into the slab.
A specialized professional-grade epoxy that acts as a vapor barrier. It stops ground moisture from reaching the surface and prevents "damp basement" odors.
Step 1: Diamond Grinding
Step 2: Moisture-Wicking Base Coat
A full broadcast of vinyl flakes that adds durability and style. This layer hides slab imperfections and provides a comfortable, slip-resistant texture.
A clear, professional-grade shield that is 100% waterproof and impact-resistant. It creates a seamless surface that is incredibly easy to sanitize and clean.

Step 4: High-Performance Top Coat
Designed for Home Health (And Daily Living)
Basement flooring has to do more than just look good; it has to perform in a subterranean environment. We focus on three critical factors for every basement project:
Anti-Microbial & Mold Resistant: Traditional basement flooring like carpet or laminate traps moisture, creating a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Our seamless, non-porous coatings are naturally anti-microbial and prevent allergens from taking root in your floor.
Impact & Abrasion Strength: Whether you are building a home gym, a workshop, or a playroom, our professional-grade system is built to handle the weight. It resists scratches from furniture, heavy lifting, and the daily foot traffic of a busy household.
Seamless Maintenance: Cleaning a basement shouldn't be a chore. Because our system creates a monolithic surface from wall to wall, there are no grout lines or fibers to trap dust and dander. A simple damp mop keeps your living space "showroom" clean.
BASEMENT FLOORING FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this stop my basement from smelling damp?
Yes. Most basement odors come from moisture trapped under carpet or tile. Our system seals the concrete and prevents moisture from escaping into your air, significantly improving your home's air quality.
Is the coating safe for kids and pets?
Absolutely. Once cured, our professional-grade coatings are non-toxic, anti-microbial, and incredibly easy to sanitize. They provide a much cleaner environment than dust-trapping carpet or mold-prone wood.
What if my basement floods?
Unlike every other flooring option, our coatings are 100% waterproof. If your basement takes on water, you simply squeegee it out and mop. The floor will be completely unaffected.
How do I clean a coated basement floor?
Because it’s a seamless surface, dirt has nowhere to hide. A simple damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner is all you need. No more heavy vacuums or expensive carpet cleanings.
Do you have to worry about dust during installation?
We use industrial HEPA-filtered vacuums attached directly to our diamond grinders. This captures 99% of the concrete dust at the source, keeping your home clean throughout the process.
How long until I can move my furniture back in?
You can walk on the floor in 24 hours. We recommend waiting 48–72 hours before moving heavy furniture or gym equipment back into the space to ensure a full chemical cure.
