Epoxy Flooring in St. Andrews, SC

St. Andrews is one of the most densely settled places around Columbia, and the epoxy flooring jobs we see there reflect that. The 2020 census counted 20,675 people on about 6.2 square miles, roughly 3,363 per square mile, in 11,069 housing units. Census QuickFacts puts the owner-occupied rate at 28.9% for 2020 to 2024. Most homes here are rented, so a lot of our calls come from owners and managers of rental property.

Why rental owners coat concrete

Tenant turnover is hard on floors. Bare concrete in a garage, storage room, laundry area or maintenance shop soaks up oil, paint and spills, and the stains stay through every move-out. A sealed floor wipes clean, so a unit is ready to show sooner. For rental work we focus on durability and speed:

• Polyaspartic systems that can return a space to use the same day or the next.
• Mid-tone flake blends that hide wear and small scuffs between cleanings.
• Chemical-resistant topcoats in maintenance rooms where paint, solvents and fuel get spilled.
• Written scopes that list each space, so owners can budget a whole property at once.

Small households, shared spaces

St. Andrews households are small. QuickFacts shows 1.95 persons per household, and the 2020 census found 43.4% of households were one person living alone. Common areas get a lot of foot traffic from many different people. Concrete in utility rooms, mail rooms, fitness rooms and breezeway storage benefits from a coating that is easy to clean and gives good footing.

Commercial and shop floors

With I-26 along its western edge, St. Andrews sits close to the businesses that line the corridor between downtown and Irmo. For shops, service bays and small warehouses, we install thicker 100% solids epoxy with slip-resistant texture and optional safety striping. We can work in phases or after hours so a business does not have to close for the whole job.

Homeowners too

About three in ten homes are owner-occupied, and those owners want the same thing homeowners anywhere want: a garage that looks finished and cleans easily. Census QuickFacts lists the median owner-occupied home value at $161,300. A flake floor is one of the more affordable ways to make a garage feel like part of the house. We grind and repair the slab first, then lay the base coat, flake and topcoat.

Planning a multi-unit job

On a property with several garages or utility rooms, we walk every space before we write the estimate. Some slabs will be clean and sound. Others will have oil, old paint or cracks that need more grinding and repair. The written scope prices each area separately, so a manager can coat the worst floors first and schedule the rest around vacancies. We protect walls, doors and nearby finishes on every job, and we leave each space clean and swept before we go.

Keeping a coated floor looking good

Tell tenants and staff to sweep grit regularly, wipe up spills and avoid dragging metal furniture across the floor. A mild cleaner and a mop handle most of the upkeep.
