Our Standard
A short list of nevers, and what we do instead.
Things we won’t do
- Subcontract a single coat to crews you’ve never met.
- Skip surface prep to shave a half-day off the schedule.
- Use builder-grade kits sold by the bucket at hardware stores.
- Quote a price sight-unseen from a phone call.
What we do instead
- Robert grinds, primes, and finishes every job himself.
- Diamond-grind every surface to CSP-3 profile before the first drop.
- Industrial polyaspartic and epoxy systems — the same product spec used in showrooms and warehouses.
- Walk the slab with you, measure, and quote with real numbers the same week.
What We Install
Eight finishes. One standard.
Who Builds Your Floor
It started with a bar.
Robert’s first epoxy floor wasn’t a job — it was his own bar. He’d built the room himself, top to bottom, and the concrete underneath felt like the last thing standing between a finished space and a real one. He picked up a flake kit on a Saturday, ground the slab himself, and laid down a floor that turned out better than the rest of the build.
If I wouldn’t put it in my own garage, it doesn’t go down on yours. That’s the whole standard.
Robert, founder
A neighbor saw it and asked who did it. Then a friend of theirs. Then a small business owner across town. Three years later, Carolina Epoxy Coatings serves residential garages, commercial showrooms, and weather-locked driveways across the Charlotte metro — and Robert is still the one on every job site, still grinding every slab himself, still picking the system based on what the floor actually has to do.
That’s not a scaling philosophy. It’s how he learned to do it the first time, and it’s the only way he knows how to do it now.
How We Work
Four days. Four steps. One signature.
STEP 01
Walkthrough
Robert visits the slab himself. Measures square footage, inspects concrete condition, pulls moisture readings, and picks the system that fits the floor’s actual duty. You get a same-week written quote with real numbers — no sight-unseen estimates over the phone.

STEP 02
Diamond Grind
Every square foot is mechanically profiled to CSP-3 with industrial diamond grinders. No acid etching, no shortcuts. Cracks, pits, and low spots are cut open, cleaned, and patched before a single coat touches the concrete.

STEP 03
Coat System
Primer, base coat, flake or metallic broadcast, and polyaspartic topcoat — each layer rolled and back-rolled by Robert, each given its proper cure window. The system is spec’d for the project, not a generic three-coat kit pulled off a shelf.

STEP 04
Cure & Handover
The floor is walkable in four to six hours and vehicle-ready in twenty-four. Robert walks the finished slab with you, flags any punch-list items, and leaves a care sheet. Most residential jobs are in-and-out inside two days.

Client Work
Robert replaced a cheap garage coating that had peeled in under a year. Two-day job, flake matched the rest of the house, and it still looks like the day it went down. He’s the only contractor I’ve hired twice.

Common Questions
Before you book the walkthrough.
How long does a properly installed epoxy floor last?
A properly prepped and coated floor using industrial polyaspartic topcoat is rated for fifteen to twenty years in residential garages and driveways, and decades in commercial settings under heavier traffic. The systems Carolina Epoxy installs match the spec for automotive showrooms and commercial kitchens. The weakest point on a correctly installed floor is the concrete substrate itself, not the coating.
Why do so many garage epoxy jobs peel within a year?
Almost always a prep failure. The coating never had a clean, mechanically profiled surface to bond to — either the installer acid-etched instead of grinding, skipped the diamond-grind step entirely, or didn’t patch a failing slab. Carolina Epoxy diamond-grinds every floor to CSP-3 profile before any primer touches the concrete. It’s the non-negotiable step that cheap installers skip to compete on price. See the full garage system.
How much does an epoxy floor cost in the Charlotte area?
Pricing depends on square footage, slab condition, and the system chosen (flake broadcast is the volume product; metallic is the premium finish). After a free on-site walkthrough you get a written quote with itemized pricing — no ballpark numbers over the phone, no surprise change orders mid-job. Most residential garages fall in a predictable band. Request a free on-site quote.
Which finish should I choose — flake or metallic?
Flake is a color-chip broadcast system — cosmetically forgiving, slip-resistant, and the most common residential finish. Metallic is a pigmented pour with pearl-like optical depth — each floor is one-of-one, more premium-looking, and typically specified when the garage or commercial floor doubles as a showcase space. Both get the same prep and the same polyaspartic topcoat, so durability is identical. See metallic epoxy in detail or explore flake systems.
Do you cover the full Charlotte metro including South Carolina?
Yes. Carolina Epoxy Coatings services the full Charlotte metro across both state lines — Charlotte, Matthews, Indian Trail, Monroe, Mooresville, Davidson, Huntersville, Gastonia on the NC side, and Fort Mill on the SC side. Travel is included within a fifty-mile radius of the Charlotte office. See all service areas.
How long does the install take from walkthrough to vehicle-ready?
Most residential garage jobs run two days on site. The initial walkthrough and written quote happen within the same week you call. Day one is diamond grinding, patching, and priming; day two is the full coat system and topcoat. The floor is walkable in six hours and vehicle-ready in twenty-four. Commercial and industrial projects scale up based on square footage and the system spec.
