A Durable Finish for Wheaton, Illinois Basement Spaces
The Garage FX® system gives basement concrete a finished, durable surface through a proprietary epoxy primer and polyaspartic topcoat. GarageExperts® of Chicagoland applies epoxy coatings to concrete in recreation spaces, home gyms, laundry rooms, and everyday living areas.
Garage FX® floor coatings are ideal for basements because they provide a durable, moisture-resistant surface. The continuous flooring can coordinate with the rest of the home, helping the basement feel like a planned living space rather than a utility-only area.

How the Garage FX® System Finishes Basement Concrete
Our proprietary system combines two materials with distinct roles. The epoxy primer forms the base layer and bonds the system to prepared concrete, while the polyaspartic topcoat creates the finished surface. Together, they form an epoxy and polyaspartic floor coating developed for lasting performance.
Proprietary Epoxy Primer The Garage FX® fusing epoxy primer develops a bond with concrete that has up to three times the adhesion strength of other epoxies.
Glossy Polyaspartic Topcoat The topcoat covers the primer and decorative flakes, creating a seamless, durable finish across the coated area.
More Than 140 Colors We offer over 140 floor-coating colors for exercise rooms, laundry areas, and finished living spaces. You can coordinate the surface with furnishings and the room’s planned use instead of leaving unfinished-looking concrete. Garage FX® coatings are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Our Basement Concrete Preparation & Application Process
Concrete preparation creates the surface conditions needed before Garage FX® floor coatings are applied. We evaluate the concrete during the estimate, explain the planned work, and complete each coating stage in sequence.
Our process includes:
Initial Estimate: We inspect the concrete and review the intended coating area before any commitment.
Surface Grinding: We grind the concrete to prepare it for the coating system.
Crack and Joint Repair: We address visible cracks and joints with Garage FX repair products.
Primer Application: We roll the proprietary Garage FX® epoxy primer onto the prepared concrete.
Decorative Flake Broadcast: We broadcast decorative flakes to create a seamless finished appearance.
Topcoat Application: We apply the polyaspartic layer to complete the system with a glossy, durable surface.
The work area is unavailable during preparation and application. We assess each surface before confirming the project plan, and return-to-use timing can be discussed during the estimate.
Choose a Coating for the Way You Use Your Basement
Basement flooring should suit how the room functions from day to day. Consider these common uses:
Home Gyms: A finished-looking surface can coordinate with exercise equipment and the surrounding space.
Laundry Rooms: The seamless surface works for concrete laundry areas incorporated into a larger finished basement.
Finished Living Areas: Color selection can connect the flooring to furniture, wall finishes, and the room’s overall design. A continuous coated surface suits spaces used for recreation, hobbies, or daily living without retaining the appearance of unfinished concrete.
Other Concrete-Floor Locations: Garage FX® floor coatings are also suitable for concrete floors in kitchens, bathrooms, home gyms, and outdoor patios. Each project begins with an assessment of the concrete surface and the area where the coating will be applied.
Garage FX® coatings are moisture-resistant, an important flooring characteristic for basement environments. Moisture resistance doesn’t correct an underlying water or vapor issue, so the coating isn’t a substitute for resolving an active source of basement moisture.
We address visible cracks and joints during preparation with Garage FX repair products. The estimate allows us to review the existing concrete and explain the planned preparation before work begins.
