Basement Coatings in Peterborough, Ontario
Turn Your Basement Floor Into Something Better
Unfinished basement floors are functional, but they dust, stain, and look rough. A coated basement floor is cleaner, tougher, and much easier to live with — and it holds up better over time as well.
We apply epoxy and polyaspartic floor coatings to basement floors across Peterborough. The result is a sealed, durable surface that resists moisture, stains, and the daily wear of a finished or working basement.
Is Epoxy Flooring Good For Basements?
Epoxy is a fantastic option for basement floors in most situations. It seals the porous concrete surface, which reduces dusting and makes the floor easier to clean. It also resists moisture from above — spills, tracked-in water, and humidity all have less impact on a coated surface.
The key issue in basements is moisture coming up from below. We test for this before every installation. If moisture levels are too high, the coating will not bond correctly, and we will tell you that upfront along with what options are available.
What Should I Know About Basement Moisture?
Basements in Peterborough vary a lot in terms of moisture levels. Older homes on clay soils can have persistent moisture infiltration. Newer builds are typically better sealed. Seasonal changes also affect basement moisture — spring thaw and heavy rain can push moisture through concrete that seems fine the rest of the year.
We test moisture before any basement project. Where moisture is elevated but manageable, a moisture-tolerant primer can help. Where active water infiltration is occurring, we will be honest about the fact that coating is not the right first step

What Finishes Work Well For Basements?
Solid colour systems in neutral tones are common for utility basements and storage areas. Decorative flake systems are popular for finished basements used as living space — they give the floor a clean, polished look that fits a recreation room or home gym.
Polyaspartic coatings are worth considering for basements that get regular use. The faster cure time means less disruption, and the tougher finish holds up well under furniture and foot traffic.

How Long Does Basement Floor Coating Take?
Most basement floor projects take one to two days. Day one is surface preparation and base coat application. Day two is the topcoat. Polyaspartic systems can sometimes be completed in a single day.
We will walk you through the schedule before we start so you can plan accordingly. You will need the space clear of furniture and items stored on the floor before we arrive.
