Epoxy Flooring in Chapin, SC

Epoxy flooring in Chapin is as likely to go outside as inside. The town is often called the capital of Lake Murray, and the lake shapes how people here use concrete. Pool decks, patios, walkways down to the water and garages full of boats and fishing gear make up much of the work we do in Chapin.

Lake Murray and its shoreline

The Saluda River dam that formed Lake Murray was finished on June 30, 1930. The lake covers about 50,000 acres and has more than 500 miles of shoreline. Chapin sits in the northern corner of Lexington County, about 24 miles northwest of Columbia. The lake also flooded farms and homesteads here and cut Chapin off from the rest of the county by road.

Life near the water is hard on bare concrete:

• Sun and heat fade and crack painted patios
• Wet feet and pool water make smooth surfaces slick
• Pollen, leaves and algae stain unsealed slabs
• Sand and clay from boat ramps get tracked into garages

Pool decks and patios

For outdoor slabs we use a textured coating in a light color with a UV-stable topcoat. A light color reflects heat, so the deck stays more comfortable on a July afternoon. Texture keeps it from getting slick around the pool. Before we coat, we check the slab for cracks and settled sections. Coatings bridge hairline cracks, but they will not hide a slab that has heaved or sunk. If we see that, we tell you before you spend money on a coating.

The boat garage

Many Chapin homes have deep garage bays or detached buildings for boats and trailers. These floors get wet hulls, dripping gear and the occasional fuel spill. We recommend a flake system with a polyaspartic topcoat, which resists UV through the open door and handles automotive fluids. Grit can go in the area where you rinse gear.

Caring for lake house concrete

Outdoor coatings last longer with a little upkeep:

• Rinse pool decks often so chlorine and salt do not build up
• Clear pine needles and leaves before they stain
• Use a soft brush, not a pressure washer on high, to clean the surface
• Ask us about a fresh topcoat if the deck starts to look dull after several summers

A fast-growing small town

Chapin had 628 residents in 2000. By 2010 that rose to 1,445, a 130% increase, and the 2020 Census counted 1,809, up 25.2%. New homes keep going up around the town and the lake. With them come garages that need coating and pool decks that need finishing before the first summer.

Indoor floors at the lake

Lake homes often have a lower-level walkout or game room on a slab. Metallic epoxy gives those rooms a glossy, poured look that handles wet swimsuits and bare feet. If the room sits partly below grade, we test moisture carefully first, because water vapor coming up through a slab can lift any coating.
