Tell us how you want to use the space. That helps us plan the surface, texture and practical details together.
Workshops & storage.
Plan around shelving, tools and equipment. Review traffic, surface wear and how to keep utility access clear.
Recreation & home gyms.
Explore a continuous floor for your downstairs space, with grip, comfort and equipment protection considered from the start.
Before we choose the coatingA basement floor
A basement floor
starts with the slab.
Below-ground spaces need a careful review of moisture and existing conditions. Your coating plan should fit the concrete you have.
Talk through your basement ↗- 01Start here
Water & moisture history
Share leaks, past flooding, damp areas, sump equipment and any previous coating problems. An active water issue needs assessment before installation.
- 02Prepare the foundation
Concrete & existing finishes
Review paint, adhesive, cracks, joints and the surface profile. Define removal, mechanical preparation and repairs in the scope.
- 03Choose the layers
A compatible coating system
Moisture results and the selected products guide primers, any specified vapor-control treatment, coating layers and topcoat.
- 04Plan around home life
Access & return to use
Agree on stairs, storage, ventilation, appliance movement and curing time before work starts.

Compare three finish directions. These are samples, not completed basement photos. Confirm color, texture and product suitability with Mago.
Solid color
A simple finish for utility rooms, storage and everyday spaces. Choose the color and discuss sheen and traction.

Decorative flake
Multiple colors in a decorative flake blend. Compare coverage, texture and cleaning needs using a physical sample.

Metallic
Flowing pigments give the floor a more expressive appearance. Patterns vary with application; review the sample and finish expectations.

A clear process.
A considered result.
The exact steps depend on the slab and specified system. Here is how the project comes together.
- 01
Review your basement
Start with photos, dimensions, room use and any water history. Arrange an assessment with the team.
- 02
Confirm the preparation
Review concrete conditions, moisture, repairs and existing coatings. Define the preparation and coating specification.
- 03
Agree on the written scope
Confirm finish, included work, access, responsibilities, price and scheduling before installation.
- 04
Prepare & coat
Complete the agreed preparation and install the specified layers under suitable site conditions.
- 05
Allow the system to cure
Keep the work area clear for the product-specific curing period. Plan alternative access where needed.
- 06
Walk through & care
Review the finish and get cleaning, protection and return-to-use guidance for your floor.

Square footage is the starting point. Preparation, access and the chosen coating system complete the picture. We quote basement work after reviewing the space.
- Floor area, room layout and access
- Removal of old paint or coatings
- Concrete repairs and surface preparation
- Moisture testing and any specified treatment
- Finish, topcoat, texture and edge details
Basement work needs its own estimate. Garage package prices do not automatically apply.
Is epoxy a good choice for my basement?
An epoxy coating can create a continuous finished surface over suitable concrete. The decision starts with the slab, moisture conditions, existing coatings and how you use the basement. We review those details before recommending a coating system.
Will epoxy waterproof my basement?
A decorative epoxy floor is not a solution for leaks, flooding or water entering through walls and joints. Tell us about past water problems. The moisture source and any required remediation must be assessed before coating; a specified vapor-control layer is different from basement waterproofing.
How much does basement epoxy flooring cost?
Basement epoxy is quoted for the actual project. Area, access, old coating removal, concrete preparation, cracks, moisture treatment and the selected finish affect cost. Share approximate dimensions and photos for a useful first conversation. Garage package prices should not be treated as a basement quote.
Can you coat a basement that already has paint or tile adhesive?
Existing coatings and adhesive residues need assessment for condition, compatibility and removal. Tell us what is on the slab and share photos. The preparation method and removal scope are confirmed before work begins.
Can I choose a solid color instead of flakes?
Yes. Ask for a uniform solid-color finish, a decorative flake blend or a metallic look. We review a physical sample, sheen, traction and the coating system suitable for your concrete. A solid-color finish does not need decorative flakes.
Can epoxy be used in a laundry room or home gym?
Tell us about appliances, water exposure, exercise equipment and cleaning. A coated concrete floor is a hard surface, so comfort, grip, equipment protection and any compatible mats should be considered with the selected system. Confirm appliance movement and reconnection responsibilities in the scope.
How do I prepare the basement before installation?
Plan to clear the agreed work area and maintain safe access. Discuss stairs, storage, appliances, utilities and ventilation with Mago. The project plan identifies what needs moving, who handles it and how other basement equipment remains accessible.
When can I move furniture and appliances back?
Return-to-use timing depends on the coating system, temperature, humidity and site conditions. Light foot traffic and heavy furniture or appliances may have different waiting periods. Follow the written guidance for your installed system before moving items back.
Where is basement epoxy installation available?
Mago serves Massachusetts, including Greater Boston and surrounding communities. Qualifying Rhode Island and New Hampshire projects are reviewed individually based on location, scope and timing. Share your town when requesting an estimate.
