Basement floor need an upgrade?

A concrete basement floor might not be the first thing that comes to mind when considering a facelift, but it should definitely be a top consideration. Not only is it unique and versatile, but it can also be one of the most beautiful and long-lasting options available.

Decorative concrete has come a long way in recent years, and it now has a polished, lustrous finish that rivals any of the other options. With new resins and colour options, you can achieve a wide range of looks, from modern and industrial to warm and inviting.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, concrete is also incredibly durable and low-maintenance. It can stand up to heavy foot traffic and is resistant to stains and spills, making it an excellent choice for a high-traffic area like a basement.

Another advantage of decorative concrete is its versatility. You can choose from a wide variety of colours, patterns, and textures to create a unique look that perfectly complements your home’s style and decor.

When considering a basement floor facelift, it’s important to think about the return on investment. A finished basement is one of the most valuable home improvements you can make, and a concrete floor can add significant value to your home while also providing years of use and enjoyment.

If you’re considering a basement floor makeover, but haven’t yet made your material decision, contact a reputable concrete contractor like Hardscapes Inc. to learn more about the benefits of decorative concrete. With their expertise and guidance, you can achieve a beautiful, low-maintenance basement floor that you’ll love for years to come.

Specializing in concrete repair & restoration services

Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials in the world, thanks to its durability, versatility, and affordability. However, even the strongest concrete surfaces can become damaged over time due to exposure to harsh weather conditions, heavy foot or vehicular traffic, or other factors. Fortunately, there are several concrete repair and restoration solutions available to bring your concrete surface back to its original condition.

At Hardscapes, we specialize in providing concrete repair and restoration services to homeowners, builders, and commercial property owners. Our team of experts has the experience and knowledge to diagnose and repair any concrete surface issue, from minor cracks to major structural damage. We use state-of-the-art equipment and high-quality materials to ensure that your concrete surface is repaired properly and will last for many years to come.

One of our most popular concrete repair solutions is our concrete resurfacing service. This involves applying a thin layer of new concrete over an existing surface to cover any imperfections, cracks, or stains. The result is a smooth, uniform surface that looks and feels like new. Our resurfacing service is an ideal solution for driveways, patios, walkways, and pool decks.

Another popular concrete repair service we offer is concrete staining. This involves applying a chemical solution to the concrete surface that reacts with the minerals in the concrete to produce a unique, permanent color. Concrete staining is a great way to transform an old, dull concrete surface into a vibrant, colorful one.

If you need concrete repair or restoration services, don’t hesitate to contact the experts at Hardscapes. We’ll work with you to assess your unique needs and provide you with a customized solution that fits your budget and timeline. Call 403-547-5597 today.

Can Water Damaged Concrete Be Repaired

Yes it can!

It’s called water degradation and can be caused by any number of things. Fire, aggregate expansion, bacterial corrosion, calcium leaching and many others.

Many basement floors get damaged by the high water tables and backed up sewers.

Untreated sewer water can produce hydrogen sulfide, which is then oxidized by aerobic bacteria present on the concrete surface above the water level. The sulfuric acid dissolves the carbonates in the cured cement and causes strength loss, as well as producing sulfates that can be destructive to the concrete.

Hardscapes Inc. has a solution to this problem. A clean up of the concrete floor and then sealing the concrete with a great decorative coating can preserve and update your damaged basement floor. This is a great alternative to replacing rugs and hardwoods.
