Why a Clean, Shiny Basement Floor Makes a Difference – and How to Get One

It may be located at the very bottom of your home, however, it’s one of my top recommendations for Home Sellers – give your basement floor a fresh coat of paint. Do this for two reasons:

In July 2021, we began using Sherwin Williams new basement floor paint technology to create a clean, shiny, factory floor finish for our Seller’s basement floors:  ArmorSeal 8100 by Sherwin Williams.  It’s a water-based epoxy floor paint that is recommended for industrial and commercial use.  However, we’ve found it also stands up to the beatings residential basement floors typically get.

This paint finish is shiny and smooth and creates a floor that will impress buyers. We have moved away from our former suggestion of buying the basement floor paint kit found at home improvement stores toward this impressive industrial paint that will not scratch or flake easily. We promise you will love the results.
