Why Choose FlowState Epoxy Flooring in Hampton Park Terrace
We Work With Century Old Concrete
Most homes in Hampton Park Terrace were built between 1912 and 1922. The concrete in garages and basements throughout the neighborhood has had a hundred years to crack, settle, absorb oil and contaminants, and in many cases collect layers of prior coatings and paint. We do not skip the prep work that concrete like this requires. We grind, test, repair, and then coat, in that order.
We Account for Flood Zone Conditions
Parts of Hampton Park Terrace fall within FEMA flood zones, particularly closer to the Ashley River on the western side. Flood zone conditions mean elevated moisture exposure and, in some properties, prior water intrusion history that affects the slab. We test every concrete surface for moisture vapor before any coating goes down and address elevated readings before we install.
Quality That Respects the Neighborhood
Hampton Park Terrace is a National Register district. The homes here have been carefully maintained and restored over a century. Homeowners here expect quality and we deliver it. If the slab is not ready to coat, we say so honestly. If it is, we install a system that holds up as long as the home.
Anne C., Huger Street, Hampton Park Terrace
"We have a 1918 Craftsman bungalow on Huger Street and the garage floor had about three layers of old paint on it. FlowState ground everything back to bare concrete, repaired the cracks, and installed a flake system that looks like it belongs in a much newer space. Very thorough, very professional."
Robert G., Congress Street, Hampton Park Terrace
"Our home on Congress Street is close to The Citadel and the basement had a moisture issue that two previous contractors had failed to fix properly. FlowState tested the slab correctly, applied a vapor barrier coat, and the floor has been completely dry and solid for over a year now."
Sarah T., Ashley Avenue, Hampton Park Terrace
"We wanted a polished gloss finish in our finished bonus room off the garage on Ashley Avenue. FlowState assessed the slab, handled a leveling issue from some settling, and the finished floor is exactly what we wanted. They took care of a problem we did not even know we had."

Learn MoreConcrete Epoxy Floor Installation
Many of Hampton Park Terrace's garages have multiple layers of old paint and contaminants that need full removal before a new system will bond. We manage the entire process from surface grinding through crack repair and final coat for properties where the concrete needs real work before coating can begin.
Learn MoreBasement Epoxy Flooring
Basements in Hampton Park Terrace, particularly those in flood zone sections closer to the Ashley River, require careful moisture assessment before coating. We test every slab and apply vapor barrier treatment where readings are elevated. This step is what determines whether a basement floor holds or fails over time.
Learn MorePolyurethane and Protective Coatings
A UV resistant topcoat is standard on every installation in Hampton Park Terrace. South Carolina's sun combined with the coastal humidity means unprotected epoxy will show UV degradation over time without a proper topcoat on the finish.
Learn MoreSelf Leveling Epoxy
A century of settling has left some slabs in Hampton Park Terrace's original structures noticeably uneven. Self leveling epoxy creates a flat, smooth base before the finish coat is applied, correcting surface variation without requiring full slab replacement.
Learn MorePolished and Gloss Finishes
A clean, high gloss finish for finished basements, bonus rooms, and the occasional commercial space along the Huger Street and Congress Street corridors. Reflective and easy to maintain, it suits the carefully restored character of Hampton Park Terrace's homes.
Epoxy Flooring in a National Register Neighborhood
A Planned Suburb Built Around a Park
Hampton Park Terrace was designed as a planned suburb in 1912, built to take advantage of the adjacent Hampton Park and the proximity to the Ashley River. The developers marketed it as high and dry, 16 feet above sea level, and away from the flooding that had always plagued the lower peninsula. That elevation advantage is real, though flood zone designations still apply to portions of the neighborhood today, and moisture management remains part of every installation we do here.
The Citadel's Presence
The Citadel's 300 acre campus sits directly adjacent to Hampton Park Terrace's western boundary, and its Spanish Moorish architecture defines the visual character of that side of the neighborhood. The proximity to The Citadel has always drawn military families and college affiliated residents to Hampton Park Terrace, contributing to the neighborhood's stable, owner occupied character. Most properties here are owner occupied and maintained with the kind of care that comes with long term investment in a home.
Huger Street as a Commercial Corridor
The stretch of Huger Street running through Hampton Park Terrace has developed into a small but active dining and retail corridor. Restaurants including Renzo and Berkeley's have established the street as a neighborhood destination. Commercial floor coatings in these spaces need to handle the demands of a working food service environment while looking appropriate in historically sensitive surroundings.
Permitting and Historic District Information
National Register and BAR Oversight
Hampton Park Terrace is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Board of Architectural Review also maintains jurisdiction over visible exterior changes to properties in portions of the neighborhood. Interior improvements including floor coatings in garages, basements, and utility spaces are generally not subject to these review processes.
Our Recommendation
We are familiar with the permitting requirements for Charleston County and the historic district guidelines that apply in Hampton Park Terrace. If your project involves any exterior work alongside the floor installation, confirm with the City of Charleston before proceeding. For interior flooring in residential spaces, no permit is typically required.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Hampton Park Terrace garage has old paint on the floor that has been there for decades. Does it all need to come off?
Yes. Old paint and prior coatings need to be completely removed by diamond grinding before a new epoxy system will bond to the concrete. Applying epoxy over existing paint is the primary reason garage floors fail within the first year or two. We handle the full removal as part of the installation process.
Does the flood zone designation in parts of Hampton Park Terrace affect which epoxy system I need?
It affects which system we recommend for the slab. Properties in lower lying sections of the neighborhood or those with prior water intrusion history may need a moisture vapor barrier primer as the first coat before the epoxy system goes on. We test the slab and recommend the appropriate system during the estimate visit.
How long has the concrete been in the garages in Hampton Park Terrace?
Most garages in the National Register portion of Hampton Park Terrace were built between 1910 and 1945. That puts the concrete at 80 to 115 years old, which is why thorough surface preparation is so important before any new coating is applied in this neighborhood.
Can you coat a concrete floor in an original 1915 garage?
Yes. We do it regularly in Hampton Park Terrace. Old concrete that has been properly prepared, tested for moisture, and repaired where needed accepts epoxy coatings just as well as newer pours. The preparation takes more time and care, but the results are the same.
What is the most requested service in Hampton Park Terrace?
Garage floor epoxy coating is by far the most common request in this neighborhood. The contributing garages throughout the historic district are well preserved but their concrete floors have rarely been addressed. A properly installed epoxy system in one of these garages completely transforms how the space looks and functions.
