Basement Floors
A basement floor needs more than a pour. It needs a clean gravel base, a vapor barrier, steel where called for and a finish that is flat enough for flooring. We pour and finish basement slabs for new homes, additions and repairs.

Common questions
Can I put flooring right on the slab?
Many floors can go on a flat, dry slab, and moisture testing helps choose the right product. We explain what the slab needs.
How long before I finish the basement?
Concrete holds moisture while it cures, so flooring is often delayed for weeks. We help you plan the timeline.
