Flake blend and color
Blends range from light grays to darker, high-contrast mixes. Lighter blends brighten a dim garage, and busier blends hide dirt best. Looking at samples in your own garage light helps you choose.

A textured, speckled floor for 1, 2 and 3-car garages, golf cart garages and home workshops, built on the surface prep a lasting floor depends on.
We take care of everything: the measured quote, scheduling and the final walkthrough with you.
Who it's for
A flake floor, also called a decorative chip floor, is the most popular choice for home garages. Colored chips are broadcast into a base coat and locked under a clear topcoat, so the finish has a light texture and a speckled pattern that hides dust, tire marks and small slab flaws between cleanings.
It suits homeowners who park in the garage every day, use it as a workshop or home gym, store a golf cart, or simply want a floor that sweeps and mops clean instead of shedding concrete dust into the house.

A full broadcast covers the base coat completely with chips for the most texture and hiding power. A lighter broadcast lets more base color show. Full coverage is the usual pick for a working garage.
Many garages have a short concrete stem wall along the edges. Coating it to match gives a finished look and makes the edge easier to wipe down. Mention it in your quote request if you want it included.
Prep & process
We look at the concrete for oil, old coatings, cracks, pitting and signs of moisture, and note it all in your written quote.
The surface is diamond ground so the coating can bond, then cracks and pits are filled and the floor is vacuumed clean.
A base coat goes down and the flake is broadcast into it while it is wet. Once it sets, loose chips are scraped and swept off.
A clear topcoat seals the chips and gives the floor its finish. We walk it with you and go over when it is ready for feet, then vehicles.
What to expect
The honest part: a coating is only as good as the slab under it. If we find heavy moisture, deep cracks or a slab problem during the visit, we will tell you before anything is scheduled. A flake floor is tough, but not indestructible: dragging sharp metal or dropping heavy tools can still mark it.

Local
Georgia summers are hard on garage floors. Hot tires coming in off the road can pull up roll-on kit coatings laid over concrete that was never ground, and humid air keeps bare concrete feeling damp and dusty. A properly prepared flake floor holds up far better than paint or a kit.
We take flake floor requests across Newnan, Senoia and Sharpsburg in Coweta County, plus Peachtree City, Fayetteville and Tyrone in Fayette County, from new-build subdivisions with wide attached garages to older homes with detached garages and workshops.
FAQ
No. Epoxy paint and roll-on kits are thin coatings, usually applied over concrete that has not been ground. A flake floor system goes over diamond-ground concrete and is built in layers: a base coat, a layer of chips and a clear topcoat. That build and the prep are what help it hold up in a working garage.
The chips give the surface a light texture, which helps compared with a smooth, glossy coating. Any floor can get slick with water, oil or ice melt on it, so wipe spills up when you see them. If grip is a priority, ask about added texture in your quote.
Usually, yes. Oil-soaked areas are cleaned and ground, and cracks and pits are repaired before coating. Very deep contamination or a cracked, shifting slab can limit what any coating can do, and we will tell you if we see that.
Sweep or dust-mop regularly and mop with plain water or a mild cleaner. Hosing out the garage is fine. Avoid harsh solvents and abrasive pads, and wipe up oil, fluids and road grime when you notice them.
It depends on the coating, the temperature and the humidity, and you can walk on it well before you can drive on it. We give you a timeline for your floor with your quote, so you can plan where the cars will go.
