The Smart Choice For Basement Floors

Your basement deserves better than cold, cracked concrete. At Upstate Epoxy Floor Coatings, we specialize in transforming basement floors into durable, attractive surfaces that actually make you want to spend time downstairs.

Whether you’re creating a home gym, play area, or extra living space, our epoxy coatings give you a floor that looks great and performs even better.  From moisture concerns to heavy use, the right floor coating makes all the difference. Here’s what epoxy brings to your basement renovation.

Blocks Moisture

Basements are naturally damp. That's why epoxy's non-porous surface is ideal. It seals your concrete completely, stopping moisture from working its way up through the floor. No more worrying about mold, mildew, or that musty basement smell.

Safer Footing

Wet basement floors are slipping hazards. Our flake epoxy systems add texture that gives you solid traction, even when water gets tracked in. It's particularly important if you've got kids running around or you're using the space as a workshop.

Built to Handle Decades of Use

We're talking 10 to 25 years of life from a properly installed epoxy floor. How long yours lasts depends on the coating we use, how well we prep your concrete, and how you maintain it—but either way, you're looking at a floor that outlasts most other basement options by a mile.

New Floor in Under a Week

Most basement projects take just a day or two to install. Then you wait 48-72 hours for everything to cure properly. That's it. In less than a week, you've got a completely transformed basement ready to use.

Customized To Match Your Vision

Want a clean, modern solid color? Prefer the textured look of decorative flakes? Thinking about a show-stopping metallic finish? We install all of them. Your basement floor can be as understated or as bold as you want—it's completely up to you.

Great Choice For Spills & Stains

Spill something on epoxy? Just wipe it up. These coatings resist most household chemicals, oils, and stains without breaking a sweat. The key is proper installation and cure time, which we never cut corners on.

Client Testimonials

See what are happy clients in the Capital Region are saying about Upstate Epoxy Floor Coatings.

1
Select Your System
We start with your free estimate and walk through the coating options that make sense for your basement. You'll see samples, we'll talk about how you plan to use the space, and we'll answer all your questions before you commit to anything.
2
Concrete Preparation
This is where most DIY jobs fail and professional installations succeed. We grind, clean, and profile your concrete so the epoxy has something to grip. Skip this step or do it wrong, and your floor will peel. Do it right, and your coating lasts for decades. We always do it right.
3
Apply Base and Decorative Layers
Once your concrete is prepped, we mix the epoxy and roll out the basecoat. If you've chosen flake or decorative systems, we broadcast the chips while the base is still wet. This is where your floor starts to transform from dull gray concrete into something worth showing off.
4
Seal With Topcoat
Most systems get a clear protective topcoat that adds durability and that glossy finish. We lightly sand between coats and clean everything thoroughly—attention to detail here is what separates a good floor from a great one.
5
Let It Cure
This is the hardest part for most homeowners—waiting. The epoxy needs 2-5 days to fully harden, depending on the specific products we use and your basement's temperature and humidity. Rushing this step compromises everything we've done, so we follow the manufacturer's specifications exactly.

From start to finish, most basement floors are ready to use in 5-7 days. Here’s exactly what happens during that time.

Not all epoxy coatings are created equal. At Upstate Epoxy Floor Coatings, we install four distinct systems, each with its own strengths. Here’s how to pick the one that matches what you’re building downstairs.  Not sure which system fits your basement project? Call or text us. We’ll talk through how you plan to use the space and recommend the coating that makes the most sense for your needs and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we hear about epoxy flooring.

Can epoxy flooring handle basement moisture?

Yes, and it’s actually one of the best solutions for it. Epoxy creates a non-porous seal over your concrete that blocks moisture from coming up through the floor. That said, we need to address any active water issues before installation—epoxy works great for typical basement dampness, but it won’t fix flooding or major leaks.

With professional installation and typical basement use, you’re looking at 10-25 years. How you use the space matters—a home gym or playroom will wear differently than a storage area. Regular cleaning and avoiding dragging heavy objects across the floor will keep it looking great for decades.

Epoxy itself doesn’t insulate, but it does feel warmer underfoot than bare concrete. It’s not cold and clammy like untreated concrete floors. If warmth is a priority, you can add area rugs in seating areas, or we can discuss insulation options for your subfloor before we coat it.

You can walk on your new floor after 24-48 hours, but we recommend waiting the full 5-7 days before moving furniture back in or putting it to heavy use. This gives the epoxy time to fully cure and reach maximum durability. We’ll give you specific timeline guidance based on the system you choose and your basement’s conditions.
