Whether you own a home, business, or both, maintaining your property’s value is always important, even if thoughts of selling are far from view -- though, if you are looking to sell you’ll be even more inclined to improve your space inside and out. There are many ways to boost your resale value, such as updating your landscape, renovating your kitchen and bathroom, replacing your siding, and so on. Coating your concrete surfaces should be included in these efforts. While it’s difficult to precisely quantify the degree to which concrete coatings will increase your property’s value, doing so will undoubtedly impress potential buyers and drive up demand.

Any part of your home or business that contains concrete surfaces can benefit from such coatings. Let’s outline some of the top uses for concrete coatings to help you bolster your place’s resale value.

The Best Ways to Use Concrete Coatings

Basement Floors

Basements often get overlooked by home sellers, even though most potential buyers care quite a bit about the state of a home’s cellar. If your basement floors are built from concrete, they could do with a fresh coat of basement concrete floor paint to prepare for a sale. In addition to enhancing the overall aesthetic of this underground space, coating your basement floors helps prevent the intrusion of moisture, pests, and other unwanted materials.

Garage Floors

While most garages are designed to shelter vehicles, these annexes can be used for a variety of purposes. Whether your garage serves as a storage space, studio, showroom, recreation hall, or some combination, you’ll need its floors to withstand all the continual weight and activity. Sealing a garage floor with quality products increases its durability while improving its appearance -- something you or a potential buyer will be able to appreciate for years to come.

Concrete Countertops

So far, we’ve been discussing the application of concrete coatings for floors. However, floors aren’t the only surfaces that can benefit from concrete coatings. If your kitchen features concrete countertops, for instance, coating them with polyurea or some other kind of concrete coating can go a long way towards boosting your home’s or restaurant’s resale value. Indeed, kitchen remodels tend to yield the highest return on investment (ROI) for property renovations, so coating your countertops is a powerful play, especially when part of a larger kitchen update.

Driveways and Sidewalks

Concrete coatings aren’t only for interior surfaces, either. Outdoor concrete paint can work wonders for driveways and sidewalks, revitalizing their look, strengthening their integrity, and encouraging increased foot traffic. Most importantly, coating your sidewalks and/or driveways helps make them safer, removing irregularities and increasing friction in order to reduce the risk of slips and falls.

Patios and Porches

Decks, patios, and porches with concrete floors can benefit from fresh exterior floor paint or other coatings as well. Penntek polyurea coatings, for instance, offer high durability and protection from moisture, impact, and other environmental concerns that regularly threaten these outdoor spaces.

Commercial/Industrial Facilities

Lastly, when it comes to commercial and industrial settings, there are dozens of crucial uses for concrete floor paint and coatings. Production facilities, professional showrooms, restaurants, breweries, hotels, schools, healthcare centers, offices, and more, can all gain from durable, protective, safe, beautiful floors, which is precisely what quality concrete coatings offer.

Whether you’re looking to sell your property or simply enhance it for your own benefit, consider investing in concrete coatings for all the surfaces that could use them.
