Basement floor coatings inSpokane, Washington.
A South Hill basement from the last century has character, and a slab that dusts, sweats, and smells its age. We grind past all of it and seal the concrete into a floor that cleans up like new work.
Spokane's old concrete is fixable.
Much of Spokane's housing stock predates modern slab work. Rough, pitted, patched concrete is exactly what diamond grinding was built for.
- 01
Prep beats paint
Old slabs from downtown Spokane to Mead have seen paint, tile mastic, and decades of grime. We diamond-grind through all of it to clean, open concrete, then fill cracks and joints with polyurea before the base coat goes down. That prep is why our floors stay stuck when painted ones peel.
- 02
Damp slab, handled
Older basements hold more ground moisture, and we treat that seriously. Every free estimate includes a slab moisture reading. Ground and prepped correctly, the system tolerates the moisture an old Spokane slab pushes up, without a layer of carpet on top quietly turning it into a mildew farm.
- 03
Deicer stops downstairs
Spokane roads run magnesium chloride all winter, and it rides boots into the house and down the basement stairs. On raw concrete it soaks in and keeps working. On a polyaspartic topcoat it sits on the surface until you mop, and the floor underneath never knows it was there.
From slab to living space.
Rhino Coatings runs crews into Spokane every day; the shop sits 34 miles east in Coeur d'Alene, and we are fully licensed in Washington. There is no job minimum, so a single basement room qualifies. The system is a polyurea base coat with flake or silica broadcast to full refusal under a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat, 4x harder than epoxy, and installed by our own employees rather than subcontractors.
For most Spokane homes the install runs one day, from Cheney ranchers to Liberty Lake walkouts. Walk on the floor in about 8 hours; hold heavy furniture off it for about 72. You choose your finish, flake or silica, with samples on your own slab, get a fixed written price up front, and the finished residential floor carries a lifetime warranty.
- Seals concrete dust for good: no more gray film on everything
- Light flake and silica blends brighten a dark basement fast
- Moisture-tolerant system once the slab is properly prepped
- Installed in about a day, cured for foot traffic in about 8 hours

One crew, one day, most floors.
The same process on every slab we touch, whether it is next door or across town.
- 01
Moisture check and grind
We test the slab at your free estimate, then diamond-grind and fill cracks and joints with polyurea so the system bonds to clean, open concrete.
- 02
Base coat and broadcast
A polyurea base coat, then your flake or silica blend broadcast to full refusal. Light blends do serious work in a basement.
- 03
Topcoat, back downstairs
The polyaspartic topcoat cures for foot traffic in about 8 hours, so the basement is out of commission for about a day, not a week.
Basement floor questions in Spokane.
Our 1920s basement slab is rough and patched. Can it be coated?
Almost always. Diamond grinding levels high spots and opens the surface, and polyurea fills the cracks and gouges before the base coat locks everything together. Rough old concrete usually turns out beautifully because the broadcast hides a century of scars. We look at the slab in person before quoting so there are no surprises either way.
Are you actually licensed to work in Washington?
Yes. Rhino Coatings is licensed in Washington and our crews are in Spokane daily, from Airway Heights to Mead. You get the same in-house installers, the same fixed written price, and the same system we run in Idaho. Call 208-500-1043 and we can usually get a Spokane estimate scheduled fast.
The basement floor is freezing in winter. Does carpet make more sense?
Carpet feels warmer for a season, then it traps slab moisture and starts the musty cycle every old basement knows. The better setup is a sealed coating with rugs where you actually sit: warmth where you want it, washable floor everywhere else, and nothing wall-to-wall holding damp against decades-old concrete.
How disruptive is the install for a lived-in house?
Plan on one day of real disruption. We grind, coat, and broadcast in a single visit for most basements, and you can walk down there in about 8 hours. Laundry access is usually back the same night. The heavy stuff, like freezers and workout racks, waits about 72 hours for full cure.
What does this cost compared to finishing the floor another way?
We quote from a free on-site measure, and the number we write down is the number you pay. Against carpet or LVP over a damp-prone slab, the coating usually wins on lifespan: it is the last floor that basement needs, backed by a lifetime residential warranty. Call 208-500-1043 for your fixed price.
