A flaked, solid-color or polished basement floor that stays bright, never gets musty, and wipes clean after the sump pump has a bad week. Ground, repaired and sealed by a Papillion crew.
Basements in the Omaha area fight moisture, dust and the occasional wet spring. Carpet holds all three. Bare concrete dusts and stains. A coated slab does neither: it seals the concrete, brightens the whole room, and turns a workshop, gym, laundry or rec room into a space that takes a mop. It is also the floor that survives the year the sump pump quits.
We grind and coat basement floors with the same full-flake and solid-color epoxy systems we put in garages, at a finish that reads as a living space rather than a shop. For a basement that is going to be finished later, a clear seal or a polished floor keeps the options open. Moisture testing comes first on any slab that looks suspect.

Tested for moisture first, then built like a garage floor and finished like a room.
Flake close-ups from our garage and shop floors. A basement gets the same build, in a blend that fits a living space.
Most basement floors are done in a day or two, with the room back in use after 48 hours. We tell you the schedule before we start.
Diamond grinding, not acid etching. The coating bonds to open concrete, not to dust and old sealer.
Cracks, pits, spalls and control joints filled and ground flush so nothing telegraphs through.
Pigmented polyaspartic rolled wet into the profile for the bond that keeps the floor down for good. Rough or badly pitted slabs get a polyurea or epoxy base first.
Chips broadcast to refusal so the color runs edge to edge with no thin spots and no roller marks.
Scraped, vacuumed and sealed under a clear polyaspartic topcoat. Shelves and toys back in 48 hours, park on it after three days.
Often, yes, but we test first. Moisture coming up through the slab is the number one reason basement coatings fail, so we check the concrete before we quote and tell you what will and will not work.
It is concrete, so it is the same temperature as the slab was under the carpet. Most people put down area rugs where they sit and enjoy a floor that cleans up everywhere else.
There is some odor while the coating cures. We use low-odor systems for occupied homes, ventilate the space, and tell you when the room is fine to use again.
Yes. We work around fixed equipment, cut in the edges by hand, and coat under anything that can be moved.
Most basement floors are done in one or two days, depending on size and how much old paint or sealer has to come off. Furniture goes back after 48 hours. You get the schedule before we start.
It depends on square footage, the condition of the slab and whether it needs moisture work or old coating removal. Quotes are free; send a rough size and a photo or call (531) 239-7575.
