Choosing Between Concrete Asphalt
Concrete and asphalt both have their benefits and when choosing between the two, it often comes down to personal preference and what fits within your budget. For this reason, we offer both and are willing to help you determine which is right for the specific needs of your business or space. Concrete has the ability to be enhanced in unique ways that asphalt cannot. It also has an extensive life with proper upkeep and care.

We specialize in providing restriping and accessible parking spaces as required by the ADA Standards for Accessible Design. We are skilled in various aspects of ADA Design, including the minimum number of accessible parking spaces, distance route from accessible entrance, removing barriers to proper access, and properly sized parking spaces for cars and van-accessible spaces.

Durable Garage and Basement Floor Solutions for Residential Properties
At Larsco Construction, we specialize in concrete garage and basement floor installations that meet the demands of modern Ohio homes. Whether you're building a new home, remodeling an old one, or replacing a cracked and worn-out slab, we install concrete floors built to handle pressure, moisture, and wear without compromising on appearance.
Garages and basements are some of the most used and overlooked spaces in a home. A durable concrete floor in these areas helps prevent water damage, resists cracking under vehicle weight, and creates a surface that’s easy to maintain over time. With the right prep, pour, and finish, these floors offer decades of performance.
Why Concrete Is Ideal for Garage and Basement Floors
Concrete is a top choice for both garage and basement flooring thanks to its durability, moisture resistance, and ease of customization. Unlike tile or wood, concrete doesn’t warp or rot in humid conditions. Unlike asphalt or composite materials, it doesn't soften under pressure or wear down as quickly.
For garages, a concrete floor can handle heavy loads from vehicles, tools, and equipment. For basements, a properly installed slab helps manage moisture and provides a solid foundation for future finishing.
When paired with proper reinforcement and sealing, concrete floors can last decades without major repairs.
Signs You May Need a New Garage or Basement Floor
While many concrete slabs last 30 years or more, garage and basement floors often endure harsh conditions that shorten their lifespan. You may need a replacement or resurfacing if you notice:
- Widespread cracking or chipping
- Uneven or sloped surfaces
- Moisture intrusion or water pooling
- Stains from oil, salt, or chemical spills
- Soft spots or visible signs of subgrade failure
Our team will evaluate your current floor and determine whether it’s better to repair, resurface, or replace the slab entirely.
Our Installation Process
We approach every garage and basement floor with careful planning to ensure long-lasting results.
Site Prep and Demolition
We begin by removing any damaged concrete or unsuitable base materials. If you're building new or doing major renovations, we ensure the subgrade is properly compacted and leveled before pouring begins.
Base and Drainage
A solid base is critical. We install compacted gravel beneath the slab, checking the grade and moisture content. For basements or garages with known water issues, we can integrate vapor barriers or drainage solutions to help reduce long-term moisture risks.
Reinforcement
We use either rebar or steel mesh reinforcement to strengthen the concrete and prevent future cracking. For garage floors, this is especially important due to the weight of parked vehicles and mechanical equipment.
Concrete Pour and Finish
Once the base and forms are ready, we pour high-performance concrete at the appropriate thickness typically 4 inches for basements and up to 6 inches or more for garages. The surface is then finished based on your needs: broom finish for traction, troweled for a smooth look, or sealed for stain resistance.
Curing and Final Walkthrough
Proper curing is key to the lifespan of the floor. We allow the slab to cure under ideal conditions and schedule a walkthrough with you once complete to ensure satisfaction.
Custom Options for Your Floor
We offer customization options so your floor fits both your functional and aesthetic goals:
- Coloring: Add a tinted concrete mix for subtle tone variation.
- Sealing: Choose high-gloss or matte finishes to enhance appearance and protect against oil or moisture.
- Texturing: Add light textures to improve slip resistance.
- Polishing: For basements being finished into livable space, we offer concrete polishing to give a sleek, reflective surface.
Our team can help you select the right finish and treatment based on how the space will be used.

Long-Term Maintenance Tips
Concrete floors require less upkeep than other flooring options, but basic maintenance will help extend the life of your surface:
- Reseal every 3–5 years, especially in garages exposed to salt or oil
- Avoid de-icing products that contain harsh chemicals
- Clean oil spills quickly to prevent surface staining
- Use mats or runners under high-impact tools or equipment
If damage does occur, we can provide resurfacing or patching options to restore the surface without full replacement.
