Garage Flooring in Southeast Charlotte
In Southeast Charlotte’s 28227 zip code — which includes neighborhoods near Mint Hill — homeowners are choosing epoxy flooring systems not just for looks, but for long-term performance. At United Floor Coatings, we recently completed a clean and modern two-car garage epoxy install using our Shoreline flake blend, and the results delivered both curb appeal and concrete protection.
Why Homeowners in Southeast Charlotte Choose Epoxy
Bare concrete slabs are prone to oil stains, cracks, and moisture intrusion. Add Charlotte’s clay-heavy soil to the mix, and you’ve got a recipe for sub-slab moisture vapor pushing up through the floor — which can cause traditional coatings to peel or bubble.
That’s why we always start our floor systems with a moisture vapor barrier epoxy basecoat designed to withstand elevated vapor transmission from beneath the slab.
Our epoxy system is also unique: it uses a plant-based additive in the activator that allows for strong adhesion on damp or oil-contaminated concrete, making it ideal for garages in older homes or moisture-prone areas of Charlotte.
About the Shoreline Flake Blend
For this project, the homeowner selected our Shoreline flake — a soft, neutral combination of grays, creams, and subtle stone tones. It’s a timeless choice that adds brightness without being overly bold.
Installation included:
- Surface prep via diamond grinding
- Plant-based moisture vapor barrier epoxy primer
- Full Shoreline flake broadcast
- UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat
The entire floor was installed in just one day, and it’s ready to stand up to years of wear and tear.
Why Moisture Vapor Barrier Epoxy Matters in 28227
The Charlotte metro region, especially in zip codes like 28227, is known for clay-rich soil that retains water. When moisture vapor rises from beneath the slab, standard coatings can delaminate. Our primer is engineered to hold back up to 24 lbs of moisture vapor transfer, while still adhering to damp, stained concrete — solving both common garage slab problems in one step.

Frequently Asked Questions for Charlotte Garage Floors
How much does garage epoxy flooring cost in Southeast Charlotte?
Garage epoxy floors in Southeast Charlotte or Mint Hill typically cost between $2,300 and $3,500 for a two-car garage, depending on the slab condition and the flake blend selected.
Why do you use a moisture vapor barrier epoxy in Charlotte?
The Charlotte area is known for clay-rich soil that holds ground moisture. This moisture can rise through concrete slabs and cause coatings to fail. Our moisture vapor barrier epoxy holds back up to 24 lbs of vapor pressure, preventing delamination and protecting your investment.
What makes your primer different from other garage floor systems?
Our basecoat is a 100% solids epoxy enhanced with a plant-based additive, allowing it to adhere to damp and oil-stained concrete. This eliminates the need to choose between vapor protection and oil-tolerant adhesion — it handles both.
How long does it take to install a garage floor coating in Charlotte?
Most two-car garage floors are completed in a single day, with light foot traffic allowed after 24 hours, and vehicle traffic after 48–72 hours.
Is the Shoreline flake blend a good choice for garages?
Absolutely. Shoreline is a soft, neutral flake blend that brightens the space while hiding dust and debris. It works with almost any garage design, from modern to traditional.
