Here’s what makes Slab Lab the top choice for Minnesota basement floors:
Inspector-Level Prep Work (No Shortcuts, Ever)
Most coating failures come from poor prep. We mechanically grind every basement slab, repair cracks and pits the right way, and address surface moisture issues before any coating is applied. This is the level of preparation that many installers skip—but it’s the foundation of a floor that truly lasts.
Designed for Minnesota Homes
Basements in Minnesota deal with:
-
Vapor transmission
-
Temperature swings
-
Moisture settling in low areas
-
Old patchy concrete
-
Previous failed coatings
We choose products and systems specifically engineered to handle Minnesota moisture, concrete movement, and long-term durability.
More Flooring Options Than Any Competitor
Slab Lab offers a full range of professional coating and finishing systems:
-
Decorative Flake Coatings
-
Polished Concrete
-
Stain & Seal Systems
-
Metallic Epoxy Floors
-
Overlayments for damaged concrete

Moisture-mitigating primers and sealers
Instead of pushing one product, we help you choose the system that fits your basement, your style, and your budget.
Premium Coating Technology (Not Big-Box Epoxy Kits)
We use industrial-grade materials that bond deeper, last longer, and resist moisture better than anything you can buy DIY. Our polyurea, polyaspartic, epoxy, stains, and sealers are the same products used in commercial environments — now tailored to your home.
Floors That Look as Good as They Perform
Slab Lab is known for creating finishes that elevate the space, not just coat it:
-
Clean, modern flake floors
-
Marble-style metallics
-
Natural stained and sealed finishes
-
High-design polished concrete
Your basement stops feeling like “the basement” and starts feeling like finished living space.
Transparent Pricing & Honest Recommendations
We don’t upsell, and we don’t pressure. Our goal isn’t to be the biggest concrete coating company in Minnesota — just the best. That means giving you realistic expectations, honest assessments of your concrete, and solutions that fit your home.
A Better Basement, Backed by Real Craftsmanship
Our installations are handled by trained technicians, measured to exact mil thicknesses, and finished with the attention to detail you’d expect from a premium contractor. When we leave, your basement will look like a space you WANT to spend time in — not just a slab with something rolled over it
