Any renovation and remodeling plan starts with budgeting based on the components you intend to incorporate into your house for a new look or purpose. Everyone is aware of the flooding and moisture issues in the basements in New York. Many flooring materials succumb to damage due to persistent dampness. That’s why choosing the right option is necessary. Traditional tile, laminate, or hardwood flooring is not recommended. Tiles let moisture pass through the concrete after losing the adhesive bond. Hardwood floors can bend or warp due to wetness. The floor will be damaged in the flooding. How do you determine a choice?

Avail our professional basement remodeling services in New York for help. Our Zicklin Contracting team can handle every detail of the remodeling projects, including basement finishing, waterproofing, ventilation, storage, and more. Regarding flooring, vinyl (plank or sheet), epoxy, and stained concrete can be considered. Here are the reasons for choosing any one of them.

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)

It effortlessly mimics the charm of stone or hardwood flooring. You get planks or strips of this flooring, which can be installed with or without adhesive. Some also come with a click-lock system. A large basement can benefit from this durable flooring type. You can depend on it for its cost-effectiveness, low maintenance, and waterproof nature. The vinyl material costs about $2 to $7 per sq. ft.

  • Should you consider LVP over engineered hardwood?

LVP offers better water resistance. Some can be almost 100% waterproof, making them suitable for basements.

  • Can you install LVP directly on concrete?

You can directly install this flooring on the level and clean concrete subfloors.

Epoxy Flooring

New York basements with moisture problems can rely on this flooring for its durability and wear resistance. It is available in matte and gloss finishes. The material and installation cost can range from $3 to $7 per sq. ft. However, it requires professional help with installation. As your general contractor, the Zicklin team can manage it, so please don’t worry about it.

  • How long can an epoxy floor survive in a basement?

10 to 20 years if you take proper care.

  • Is there a cracking risk associated with epoxy floors?

While epoxy coatings come with heat or cold resistance, the vulnerability of concrete subfloor can affect them.

Stained concrete

It’s a concrete floor painted with chemical stains. Numerous designs and patterns are available. Once the concrete slab is upgraded, it adorns your basement with a finished look. If you need an eco-friendly option, water-based stains can be reliable. However, this flooring type needs proper sealing to avoid wear, spills, and dampness. Basic stain can cost around $2 to $4 per sq. ft. The range will increase if you opt for complex staining.

  • What is the lifespan of stained concrete?

Up to 20 years, depending on maintenance, care, and weather conditions.

  • What should you choose between epoxy and stain concrete?

You can opt for stained concrete to preserve the original material’s charm. However, it demands some extra maintenance.
