Basement epoxy flooring gives a chilly, dusty lower level a bright, sealed surface that mops dry in minutes after a spill. We fit it to family rooms, home gyms, laundry areas, hobby workshops and student rental suites.
Some of Ontario's oldest basements are in Kingston. Houses in Sydenham Ward, Williamsville and the Inner Harbour often rest on limestone walls, with thin, patched floors and no plastic sheet under the concrete. Homes in Cataraqui North and Riverview have better slabs but still need the right primer.
Dampness rising through the concrete ruins more basement coatings than anything else. Across much of Kingston the soil over the limestone is shallow, so water from rain and melting snow gathers along foundation walls and under floors.
Before we price basement epoxy flooring, we take a reading. A damp slab gets a primer designed to grab wet concrete and keep the coating locked down.
Plenty of Kingston basements now have a sump pit or backwater valve, often added through the Utilities Kingston prevention program. Each one leaves a strip of new concrete where the floor was cut open.
Those strips are sanded level and left to dry before basement epoxy flooring is applied, so their outline stays hidden. Bigger fixes are explained on our concrete floor repair page.
A solid colour under a satin clear coat is the usual pick. Flakes give grip and hide wear in a laundry corner or workout area. A metallic epoxy floor gives a rec room or home bar the look of polished stone.
Around Kingston, basement epoxy flooring typically runs $4 to $9 a square foot, depending on moisture work and repairs.
Landlords with student houses in the University District and Sydenham Ward see a lot of wear in a short lease. Carpet in a basement suite holds damp and smells by spring. Basement epoxy flooring gives the unit a floor that gets scrubbed, dried and handed to the next tenant in an afternoon.
Area rugs and furniture sit happily on a coated slab, so the room still feels finished.
Many cellars downtown have low headroom, narrow stairs and limestone walls that are anything but straight. Our grinding gear comes down in pieces and is set up in the room. Where the floor meets a rubble stone wall, the basement epoxy flooring is finished by hand to a clean edge.
If the wall weeps after heavy rain, we leave a small gap at the base so water can reach the floor drain or sump.

Plenty of Kingston properties end up pairing two, like a coated garage with a finished lower level.
Garage floor coating keeps winter brine, motor oil and hot-tire marks on top of the slab, where a squeegee or mop deals with them. Each garage floor coating we put down is bonded to diamond-ground concrete and sealed under a clear coat that holds its colour.

Concrete floor repair deals with the cracks, spalls, dips and peeling paint that would print through a fresh coating. We make the slab solid first, because a new floor is only as sound as the concrete it sits on.

Polyaspartic floor coating sets up within hours, keeps its clarity under sun through an open door, and goes down on cooler concrete than standard epoxy will accept.

Commercial epoxy flooring puts a joint-free, wipe-clean surface under clinics, labs, offices and storefronts. It takes rolling carts, office chairs and the nightly mop in stride.

Commercial kitchen flooring for restaurants, cafés and food plants is a seamless resin floor that curves up the wall at a cove. Hot water, grease and sanitizer have no grout line to get into.

Industrial epoxy flooring puts thick resin armour on production floors, test labs and maintenance shops where forklifts, dropped parts and chemical drips come with every shift.

Warehouse floor coating guards distribution and storage slabs against forklift scuffing, concrete dust and spills, and it makes long aisles noticeably brighter.

Flake epoxy floors bury a blend of coloured vinyl chips in the base coat, which leaves a speckled finish that disguises grit and gives boots more grip. Kingston garages ask for them more than any other look.

Metallic epoxy floors swirl pearl pigments through clear resin for a deep, marbled look. Finished basements, home bars, salons and showrooms are where it shows best.
