The garage floor takes more punishment than any other slab in the house, and it is usually the only one left bare. Coating it turns dusting, staining concrete into a sealed garage floor that cleans up and looks finished. We have installed more than 14,000 garage floors since 1999.
The system most Daniel Island garages get is 100% solids epoxy with decorative flake broadcast into it, sealed under a UV-resistant polyaspartic clear coat.
The result is seamless, slip resistant, and carries a written lifetime warranty against peeling or debonding.
Garages get a specific kind of abuse. Hot tires sit on the surface and pull at any coating that is not properly bonded. Oil, brake fluid and antifreeze come in on the car and sit there.
The island sits between two rivers and the air is humid most of the year, so a bare garage slab sweats. Uncoated concrete absorbs what lands on it, dusts constantly and stains permanently. A bonded garage floor coating is non-porous, so fluids stay on top and wipe off.
The polyaspartic clear coat is UV resistant, which matters for the strip of garage floor inside an open door that takes direct sun.
Epoxy flooring on Daniel IslandDecorative flake is what most Daniel Island homeowners choose for a garage floor. Acrylic flake is broadcast at 50 pounds per 500 square feet and sealed under the clear coat. It hides slab imperfections, gives grip underfoot, and does not show every mark.
Solid color is the plainer garage floor finish: one even color, hard-wearing, and a good fit where the garage doubles as a workshop or storage. Metallic epoxy runs pigment through the resin for a floor with depth, which suits a garage kept as display space.
Flake blends and colors can be seen and handled at our Taylors showroom.
Cleaning is the first difference people notice. The garage floor is seamless, with no joints or pores for dirt to work into, so a mop or a hose does what a scrub used to.
It takes the mechanical side too. Rolling jacks, dragged toolboxes and steady foot traffic wear the clear coat rather than the color beneath, and the clear coat can be refreshed later without redoing the floor.
Maintenance is low: keep grit swept off, because grit under a tire is what abrades a garage floor coating.
Preparation decides whether a garage floor lasts, and it is where roll-on kits fail. We do a full mechanical prep by diamond grinding so the epoxy keys into the slab rather than sitting on top of it. The grinders run under vacuum extraction to keep dust down in an attached garage.
Cracks, pitting and divots are repaired before coating, and a damp slab starts with a moisture-tolerant penetrating primer, which on the island is a normal starting point rather than the exception. Then the garage floor goes down in sequence: primer, base coat, flake broadcast, polyaspartic clear coat. The install runs over two consecutive days.

Daniel Island is a 4,000-acre island inside the city of Charleston, in Berkeley County, with the Cooper River on one side and the Wando on the other. Water on every boundary and Lowcountry humidity mean a garage slab at grade can carry more moisture than its Upstate equivalent, so we plan for it rather than assume it away.
The concrete here is unusually consistent in age. The island was farmland and a private hunting retreat until I-526 reached it in the early 1990s, and almost every garage on it was built after that. Slabs are young and generally sound, so the work is usually about moisture and finish rather than crack repair. We still look at the floor before quoting.
We are privately owned, started in 1999, and still locally owned and operated. Across more than 21,000 projects and over 4 million square feet of floor coatings, garage floors are the biggest part of what we do, at more than 14,000 of them.
Every garage floor carries a written lifetime warranty against peeling or debonding, which is a warranty on the bond and therefore on the preparation.
The showroom at 141 Highland Way in Taylors has the flake blends out on display.
