Epoxy Flooring in Oak Grove, SC

Oak Grove sits on U.S. Route 1, Augusta Road, about 8 miles west of downtown Columbia and 5 miles east of Lexington, and epoxy flooring requests here come from a community that has grown fast. The population went from 8,183 in 2000 to 10,291 in 2010 and 12,899 in 2020. That is close to 58% growth in twenty years.

Two generations of garages

The census counted 3,626 housing units in Oak Grove in 2000 and 5,693 in 2020. That means more than a third of today's homes were added after 2000. So a street in Oak Grove can have a garage poured decades ago next to one poured a few years back. The two need different work.

Older garages often have:

• Oil stains that have soaked deep into bare concrete
• Cracks that have been patched once or twice
• Old paint or a sealer that is peeling in the tire paths

Newer garages often have:

• A smooth, hard troweled finish that coatings cannot grip until ground
• Control joints that look better filled before coating
• A curing compound left on from construction

We grind both to open, clean concrete. Then we fix what the slab needs and lay down the system you pick.

Owners who plan to stay

Census QuickFacts shows an 81.0% owner-occupied rate in Oak Grove for 2020 to 2024, with a median owner-occupied home value of $210,300. Owners tend to use the garage for more than parking. We often hear about home workshops, garage gyms and storage for lawn gear. Each use points to a different choice:

• Workshop corner: thicker epoxy and a chemical-resistant topcoat where tools and finishes get used.
• Garage gym: a flake floor with enough build to handle rubber mats and dropped weights on the mats.
• Lawn equipment bay: a textured topcoat that holds up to mower wheels and grass clippings.

Commuter schedules

Augusta Road runs straight into Columbia, and many Oak Grove residents drive it every day. Losing the garage for a long stretch is a hassle. A polyaspartic system lets us finish most garages in a day, and you can often walk on it that evening. We give you written times for parking, so you know when the car can go back in.

Patios and back yards

Outdoor concrete gets a different system. We use a textured, UV-stable coating in a lighter color for patios and pool decks. Garage epoxy yellows in the sun and gets slick when wet, so it does not belong outside.

Cracks, joints and the look you want

Every slab has control joints, the straight cuts that help concrete crack in planned places. You can leave them visible or have us fill them before coating for a smoother, seamless look. Random cracks get opened up and filled either way. We walk the floor with you and mark which joints and cracks get what treatment, so there are no surprises when the job is done.
