Your Concrete and Masonry Questions Answere

 

Question

I have an unfinished basement that’s seems like wasted space, but I don’t have the money or time to bring in a contractor for some big makeover like you see on HGTV. How can I get more out the space without using a contractor?

Answer

Lots of homeowners face the same dilemma, but there are easy and affordable ways to help turn a basement into a beautiful, functional space. The first step is applying masonry waterproofer to eliminate the undesirable damp, musky conditions often associated with unfinished basements. The second step is to use an epoxy concrete floor coating to create an attractive, non-skid surface. Make a few furnishing and decorative choices and you’ve transformed your basement into a TV room, office, game room or kid’s play room.
