Free quoteEverything bare concrete can’t do
A flake epoxy floor solves the everyday problems of concrete and makes your space look new.
Slip-resistant
The flake broadcast adds natural texture and grip, making garages, pool decks and wet areas safer underfoot.
Adds value to your property
A clean, showroom-style floor boosts curb appeal and helps your home stand out.
Easy to clean
Dust, spills and tire marks wipe away with a broom or mop. No more scrubbing stained concrete.
Not porous like concrete
Bare concrete soaks up oil, water and chemicals. Epoxy seals the surface, so stains stay on top where they can be wiped away.
Hides cracks and imperfections
We repair the slab during prep, and the multi-color flake blend visually masks the marks that remain for a uniform finish.
Optional garage baseboard
Add a coved epoxy baseboard along the garage walls for a seamless, finished look that is easy to wipe clean.
Polyaspartic topcoat
Unlike a standard epoxy topcoat, polyaspartic cures in hours instead of days and resists UV yellowing, so pool decks, patios and driveways under the Florida sun keep their color and shine longer.
Box-store epoxy paint vs. a professional flake system
A lot of "epoxy" floors you see online are really a thin paint-grade kit rolled over bare concrete. Here is what actually holds up over time.
This is a general comparison between store-bought epoxy paint kits and a professionally installed flake system, not a claim about any specific brand or competitor.
Professional-Grade Materials, Installed Right.

Is an epoxy flake floor slip-resistant?
Yes. The flakes are broadcast into the epoxy and leave a fine texture that gives more grip than smooth concrete or plain epoxy, which helps in garages, pool decks and other areas that get wet.
Can epoxy flake hide cracks and stains in my concrete?
We repair cracks and damaged areas during surface preparation, and the multi-color flakes visually mask the marks that remain. Very large or moving cracks may need extra repair, which we assess during your free estimate.
Why choose epoxy flake instead of bare concrete for a garage?
Bare concrete is porous, so oil, water and chemicals soak in and stain it. An epoxy flake system seals the surface, makes it easier to sweep and mop, and gives your garage a finished, showroom look that helps your home stand out.
What is a coved baseboard, and can I add one to my garage?
A coved baseboard carries the epoxy flake up the base of the wall in a smooth curve, so there is no gap between floor and wall where dirt and water can collect. It is an optional add-on for garages.
Can epoxy flake be used around the pool, on a balcony or on a patio?
Yes. We apply it on pool decks, balconies, porches, patios and other outdoor areas, using topcoats suited for outdoor exposure. We confirm the right system for your space during the estimate.
How do I clean an epoxy flake floor?
Sweep or dust-mop regularly and mop with water and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Wipe up spills such as oil or chemicals as soon as you can.
