We install a variety of basement-ready floor systems that meet Seattle’s needs for durability, moisture resistance, and comfort.

What We Install:

  • Water-resistant vinyl (LVP/LVT) – Ideal for busy family spaces or rental units.
  • Epoxy basement floor coating – Seamless, durable, and modern.
  • Rubber or interlocking gym flooring – Damp-proof and impact-resilient for exercise areas.
  • Basement carpet – Berber, frieze, or carpet-tile styles for warmth and sound control.
  • Tile or engineered wood – Hard-surface style with moisture resistance.

How We Ensure Your Floor Holds Up:

  • Concrete prep – Assess flatness, repair cracks, apply vapor barrier if needed (Seattle humidity demands it).
  • Waterproof first – Especially under carpet or wood; tie into sump or drainage systems when applicable.
  • Match to use case – Soft warmth in family rooms, slick durability in game rooms, hygienic vinyl for rentals.
  • Full install package – Includes underlay, leveling, moisture membrane, and quality trims for a neat, quiet, inspection-ready finish.

Why It Matters in Seattle: Basements here need flooring that resists moisture and meets building codes for slip resistance and indoor air quality. By installing over concrete to ANSI/TCNA prep and seal guidelines, we keep your home safe, dry, and comfortable.

Basement flooring materials

  • Countertops
  • Windows
  • Tile
  • Flooring
  • Kitchen Cabinets
  • Doors
  • Decking

We choose materials that perform in Seattle’s climate and stand the test of time:

Windows – Andersen or Milgard egress models with fixed bottom and crank-top operation, sealed for easy cleaning and smooth function.

Window Wells – Pre-cast steel or polymer systems from Boman Kemp (Easy-Well™) for quick installation and long-term durability.

Drainage – Tie directly into an existing foundation drain or install a local French drain connection for proper water management.

Seals & Flashing – High-quality waterproof membranes, below-grade-rated sealants, and sill pans to keep water out for the life of the window.

Ladders/Steps – Integrated aluminum rungs, at least 12″ wide, spaced no more than 18″ apart to meet egress code.

Local Supply Sources (Edmonds-Area) – We often stock at Edmonds Bowl Ace Hardware, Beacon Building Products – Edmonds, and Builder Showroom. Keeping materials local keeps the project moving.

We sound like builders, not marketers—this is how we’d talk on site.
