When homeowners search for epoxy garage floors in Salisbury, NC, they’re usually looking for two things: a garage that looks finished and a floor that actually holds up to real life—tires, tools, storage, spills, and everything in between.


This recent project in Salisbury, North Carolina checked both boxes in a big way. The home featured two separate three-car garages, and we coated both—a combined 2,200 square feet of durable, decorative protection using a 1/4" Shoreline flake system. To complete the “showroom” look, we also coated and flaked the large stem walls (2+ feet tall) to match the floor, creating a fully wrapped, cohesive finish from the slab up.


If you’re comparing options for garage floors in Salisbury, NC, or you’re weighing different garage floor coatings in Salisbury, NC, this project is a perfect example of what a professional flake system can deliver.


Why This Salisbury Home Needed a High-Performance Garage Floor Coating

A garage floor takes more abuse than most areas of a home. Between daily vehicle traffic, temperature swings, and routine wear, bare concrete starts to show its age quickly. Dusting, staining, and a constantly “dirty” look are common—even when the space is cleaned regularly.


A properly installed epoxy flake system solves those problems by:


  • Sealing the concrete and reducing dust
  • Providing strong resistance to common garage chemicals
  • Upgrading the appearance dramatically
  • Creating a surface that’s easier to sweep and mop


For this project, the homeowner wanted a finish that looked clean, bright, and modern without being overly busy. The 1/4" Shoreline flake blend delivers that balanced “coastal neutral” look—light enough to brighten the space, textured enough to hide minor imperfections, and consistent enough to feel upscale.


Project Overview: Two 3-Car Garage Floors, 2,200 Square Feet Total


Location: Salisbury, NC
Total Area: 2,200 SF
System: Decorative flake epoxy garage floor coating
Flake Blend: 1/4" Shoreline
Detail Work: Stem walls coated and flaked to match (2+ ft height)


The standout feature here wasn’t just the square footage—it was the decision to coat and broadcast flake on the tall stem walls. Matching the walls to the floor creates a polished, “built-in” look that makes the entire garage feel finished, not just the walking surface.


Our Installation Process for Garage Floor Coatings in Salisbury, NC

A garage coating is only as good as the prep and the process behind it. For long-term performance—especially in larger garages—professional surface preparation and correct system build are everything.


1) Concrete Prep That Drives Adhesion

We start with mechanical prep (diamond grinding) to open the concrete and create the ideal surface profile. This step is what allows the coating to bond properly. Skipping or rushing prep is one of the biggest reasons DIY and cut-rate coatings fail.

2) Base Coat Application

Next, we apply an epoxy base coat designed to soak in and bond to the prepared slab. This coat becomes the foundation for the decorative broadcast.

3) Full Broadcast of 1/4" Shoreline Flake

While the base coat is wet, we broadcast 1/4" Shoreline flake for full coverage. This creates the decorative texture, helps with slip resistance underfoot, and gives the finished floor its consistent color pattern.

4) Stem Wall Coating and Flake Broadcast

For this Salisbury project, we coated and flaked the 2+ foot stem walls to match the floor. This is detail work that elevates the entire job and gives the garage a clean, finished perimeter.

5) Protective Clear Topcoat

Finally, we apply a clear topcoat to lock everything in and protect the system from abrasion, staining, and daily wear. The topcoat is what gives the floor its clean, finished look and helps it stay that way.


Why 1/4" Shoreline Flake Is a Smart Choice for Garage Floors in Salisbury, NC

Salisbury homeowners often want something that looks premium but still practical. Shoreline flake hits that sweet spot.


A cleaner look (and a cleaner garage)

Flake systems help hide everyday dirt better than painted concrete, while also sealing the slab to reduce dusting. That means the garage looks better day-to-day and cleans up easier.

Better resistance to common garage damage

Epoxy flake systems are built to resist the things garages are known for: oil drips, tire marks, fertilizer, salt, and household chemicals.

More “finished” curb appeal

Garages are no longer just storage. They’re workshops, home gyms, hobby rooms, and the entry point for many homes. A professional coating makes the space feel intentional—and adds real visual value.


The Stem Wall Upgrade: The Detail That Changes Everything

Coating the floor alone is a major improvement. But matching the stem walls (especially when they’re 2+ feet tall) makes the garage look like a designed space.


Benefits of flaked stem walls:


  • Protects the lower wall area from scuffs, stains, and moisture exposure
  • Makes the garage feel brighter and more finished
  • Creates a clean transition from floor to wall—no “unfinished edge” look


If you’re exploring epoxy garage floors in Salisbury, NC, consider adding stem walls if you want the best “wow factor” for the investment.
