Epoxy Flooring in Arcadia Lakes, SC

Epoxy flooring in Arcadia Lakes covers more than garages. This small Richland County town calls itself "Seven Lakes, One Town," and water covers about 18% of its area. With 865 residents in 2020 on well under a square mile of land, many homes look out on a lake or a stand of pines. That puts patios, screened porches and pool decks high on the list next to the garage.

From farmland to a town in 1959

The town's history page describes the land as farmland made up of lakes and towering pine trees. Families settled on multi-acre tracts in the early 1900s. As roads were built and widened, subdivisions followed. Residents voted 46 to 30 to incorporate, and the state certified the result on November 3, 1959. The mid-1960s zoning map set out two residential areas and one light commercial section. The result is a quiet, mostly residential town with established homes and mature trees.

Outdoor concrete near water

Patios and decks near the lakes stay damp longer after rain and collect pollen and pine needles. Smooth, glossy coatings get slick in those conditions. For outdoor concrete we use:

• Textured patio and pool deck coatings in lighter colors that stay cooler in the sun
• UV-stable polyaspartic topcoats that hold their color outdoors
• Anti-slip aggregate mixed into the finish where people walk barefoot or carry drinks

We check how each slab drains. Water should run off the surface and away from the house. If a patio holds puddles, we tell you before we coat it.

Garages under tall pines

Pine needles and pollen ride into the garage on tires and shoes. A full flake broadcast hides that grit between cleanings and adds grip on wet days. Under it, we diamond grind the slab and fill cracks so the system bonds to sound concrete.

Rooms people want to finish

In 2000 the median age in Arcadia Lakes was 49, and 23.7% of residents were 65 or older. Owners who have been in a home a long time often want to turn a garage bay or lower-level room into a studio, hobby room or home gym. A metallic epoxy floor gives that space a finished, seamless look. It is also easy to clean, and it can be textured for grip.

Screened porches and sunrooms

Some homes here have a concrete porch slab under a screen enclosure or a sunroom built over an old patio. Those floors get partial sun, blown-in rain and plenty of foot traffic. A thin flake or a textured solid color with a UV-stable topcoat suits them. We protect screens, door frames and walls while we grind, and we vacuum dust as we work.

Permits and trees

The Town of Arcadia Lakes posts its own building permit and tree removal permit forms on its website. Coating an existing slab is interior or surface work and does not remove trees. If your plans include a new patio, a larger pool deck or clearing near the water, check with the town clerk about those parts before work starts.
