Basements are typically the space that’s the most ignored in our home. They’re normally pretty dark, dingy, and not a place that we seek out to spend time. Basement floors are also prone to be in pretty rough shape, with cracks and stains that make them difficult to navigate and look quite bad. Despite any efforts from homeowners to make their basements neat and clean, it’s quite tough. In reality, it’s well worth it, as basements can be the perfect space for projects, entertainment, as well as effective storage and cost-effective living quarters. SO, consider basement epoxy flooring Vancouver.
Although carpeting was a popular option for basement flooring, it was ultimately determined to be rather impractical with humidity, flooding, and/or vapor transmission. Not only that, carpet isn’t cheap, and for it to simply get ruined was virtually a nightmare. Imagine spending thousands of dollars on carpet for it to become full of mold, stains, and irrevocable debris that not even a vacuum could remove!
Other options such as linoleum, vinyl tile, and wooden floors are no better nor cheaper. They are quite pricey and come along with difficult installation. They’re also all prone to staining, mold, mildew, as well as cleaning issues.
We take care of all the details, so you won’t have to.

☑ Looking for a play space for your kids, or a place to spend time with the family? The basement can serve as this as well
☑ Doing some projects? The basement is a great place to get to work.
☑ Homeowner repair and DIY projects can also take place in the basement, as with any hobbies that need a type of “shop” area.
