"This company was great to do business with. Al is the owner of the company. His people knew exactly what to do and when to do it and a huge driveway and parking pad came out perfect. Their bid was Fair to both me and the company. They did an excellent job on preparing the site and pouring the concrete. What everybody fears the most when they hire someone to work at their home is the people that are working there trustworthy? Are they going to be trips in and out of the house to use the bathroom? Al's people were wonderful. They did not make a mess outside leaving cans and bottles laying around all trash was picked up each day. They left everything all nice and clean and smoothed out some rough spots where the skid loader was at and where there was extra concrete dumped. I was really impressed with these people. I highly recommend them."

My name is Gary Tallman, and I am a semi-retired General Construction Remodeling Contractor of 35 years to Eastern Iowa. We are the home of the perfect install. A few years ago I decided to slow down a little and to simplify things a bit. We did this by narrowing our business advertising focus to primarily market for the repair and replacement of residential and commercial doors, windows, and skylights. It's been a perfect match for me because it takes a full skill set to do this work, and it helps to keep me off the taller ladders..and that makes me a happy craftsman :) I'd like to mention that we chose to honor the community by offering senior and military discounts.

The installation process for a concrete basement floor spans several days to weeks, depending on project scope. Preparation work includes removing existing flooring, creating proper drainage, and establishing a suitable base. The concrete itself requires adequate curing time before finishing treatments can be applied. Weather conditions, basement accessibility, and chosen finish types all influence the overall timeline.
Concrete slabs are constructed at ground level as part of a foundation system, while basement floors are installed below grade within an existing foundation structure. Basement installations often require additional moisture control measures due to their subterranean environment. Both utilize similar materials, but basement floors frequently need specialized preparation to address ground moisture issues and integration with existing foundation walls.
While some preparatory aspects might be manageable for experienced DIYers, concrete basement floor installation requires professional expertise. The process involves precise measurements, proper reinforcement placement, and skilled finishing techniques. Errors in mixing, pouring, or curing can lead to significant structural problems. Most homeowners find that professional installation, though more expensive initially, provides better long-term value and performance.
Proper maintenance includes regular sweeping and occasional mopping with appropriate cleaners. Avoid harsh chemicals that might damage sealants or concrete surfaces. Address spills promptly to prevent staining. Inspect periodically for cracks or signs of moisture problems. Reapply sealants according to product specifications to maintain moisture resistance. Controlling basement humidity helps preserve the floor's condition over time.
A properly installed concrete basement floor can improve moisture management when incorporated with appropriate waterproofing measures. Vapor barriers, drainage systems, and quality sealants all contribute to moisture control. However, concrete alone cannot resolve serious foundation water issues or hydrostatic pressure problems. Comprehensive waterproofing approaches that address exterior drainage, foundation walls, and interior systems provide the best results for persistent moisture concerns.
