Industry Leading Garage Epoxy Flooring in Matthews, NC

Before After

If your garage floor is stained, dusty, or beginning to crack, it might be time to consider a serious upgrade. At United Floor Coatings, we recently completed a garage epoxy flooring project in Matthews, NC using our beautiful and durable Acadia Hybrid Stone flake system — and the transformation speaks for itself.

This project showcases how homeowners in Matthews and the greater Charlotte metro can benefit from a flooring system built to withstand real-world wear, tear, and sub-slab moisture challenges common in this region.

Why Matthews Homeowners Are Choosing Epoxy Garage Floors

Bare concrete is porous, stains easily, and becomes harder to maintain over time — especially in a garage. Our flake broadcast epoxy system offers both protection and aesthetic appeal. It creates a seamless, non-porous surface that resists chemicals, abrasions, and stains while enhancing your home’s curb appeal.

Key Benefits:

Full broadcast Acadia Hybrid Stone flake blend for slip resistance and design
UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat that resists fading and yellowing
Low maintenance — just sweep or hose down for a fresh look
Durability that holds up to vehicles, tools, and foot traffic

Coatings Formulated Specifically for Carolina Conditions

Unlike some traditional epoxy or polyurea systems, which fail when exposed to even low levels of moisture vapor transfer (MVT) from beneath the slab, we start every garage floor installation with a moisture vapor barrier epoxy basecoat designed to perform under pressure.

This matters even more in the Charlotte region, including Matthews, where the native clay soil retains ground moisture. When left unaddressed, that moisture can push upward through the slab and cause coatings to bubble, peel, or delaminate.

Our proprietary vapor barrier epoxy isn’t just high-performing — it’s also uniquely formulated with a plant-based additive that enhances adhesion to damp concrete and oil-stained slabs. That means fewer installation limitations and more reliable results, even in older homes or garages with previous staining or water exposure.

Our Recent Matthews Garage Transformation

For this project, we installed a ¼" Acadia Hybrid Stone flake blend system. The light and earthy tones gave the space a clean, natural finish. The customer now enjoys a floor that looks showroom-ready but is tough enough for daily garage use.

Installation included:

Mechanical diamond grinding for prep
Plant-based moisture vapor barrier epoxy primer
Full flake broadcast
UV-resistant polyaspartic clear topcoat

The job was completed in a single day, and the customer was back in their garage within 48 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions About Matthews Garage Flooring

How much does epoxy garage flooring cost in Matthews, NC?
Most garage epoxy flooring projects in Matthews range from $2,400to $3,500 for a standard two-car garage. Pricing depends on the condition of the slab, square footage, and flake blend selected. Free estimates are available.
Can epoxy flooring be installed over damp or oil-stained concrete?
Yes. We use a proprietary moisture vapor barrier epoxy that’s engineered to adhere to damp concrete and oil-stained slabs, which is ideal for older garages or homes with clay soil that holds ground moisture.
How long does garage epoxy installation take in Matthews?
Most installations are completed in one day in warmer seasons, with return to light foot traffic in 24 hours and vehicle traffic in 48–72 hours.
Why is a moisture vapor barrier epoxy important for Matthews homes?
Matthews has clay-rich soil, which holds moisture that can rise through concrete slabs. Using a moisture vapor barrier epoxy basecoat prevents vapor pressure from causing bubbling, peeling, or delamination.
What makes your epoxy system different from others in Matthews?
Our system combines moisture vapor protection and oil-tolerant adhesion in one primer, thanks to a unique plant-based additive. Most products only address one issue — we solve both with a single basecoat.
