Why Choose FlowState Epoxy Flooring in Ansonborough
We Understand Historic Charleston Concrete
Ansonborough's homes were rebuilt in brick after 1838 and have been standing ever since. The concrete in garages, basements, and utility spaces throughout this neighborhood carries decades of history, including prior coatings, settling, and moisture exposure from the nearby Cooper River waterfront. We know how to assess that kind of slab and build a system that holds.
We Work Around the Neighborhood's Constraints
Ansonborough sits between the Charleston City Market and Calhoun Street. Parking is limited, driveways are tight, and many properties have carriage houses and utility spaces that require careful access planning. These are conditions we work in regularly throughout the downtown peninsula.
No Pressure, Just Honest Work
We come out, look at the concrete near your home on Anson Street, Society Street, or Hasell Street, and give you a straight answer on what the slab needs and what it will cost. If it is not a good candidate for coating, we will tell you that too.
Robert M., Society Street, Ansonborough
"We own a restored brick townhouse on Society Street and the concrete floor in our carriage house had never been touched. FlowState tested the moisture, repaired two significant cracks, and installed a flake system that looks better than anything else in the space. Solid work and zero issues since."
Mark D., property manager, Colonial Lake area, Dana K., East Bay Street, Ansonborough Village
"We run a small business just off East Bay Street and needed the floor done over a weekend so we could reopen Monday. FlowState made it happen. The floor was walkable by Sunday afternoon and looked completely transformed. Our staff and customers both noticed immediately."
Thomas B., Hasell Street, Ansonborough
"I have owned my home on Hasell Street for twelve years. The garage floor was cracked, stained from years of oil drips, and rough underfoot. FlowState handled everything from the crack repair through the final coat. It held up through a full Charleston summer without a single issue."

What Makes These Slabs Different
Ansonborough was largely rebuilt in Charleston brick after the fire of 1838. That means many of the concrete slabs in garages and basement spaces date to construction that happened in stages over the following century and a half. Some are in excellent condition. Others have decades of coatings, oil contamination, and moisture history that require more prep time before a new system will bond correctly.
The Cooper River Factor
Ansonborough sits close to the Cooper River waterfront and Gadsdenboro Park along Concord Street. The water table in this part of the peninsula is high, and moisture vapor transmission through concrete slabs is an active concern throughout the neighborhood. Every FlowState installation in Ansonborough starts with a moisture vapor test before any coating touches the floor.
Working Near the City Market
Properties near the Charleston City Market and North Market Street see commercial activity that puts different demands on a floor coating than a quiet residential garage. We factor in the type of use the space sees when we recommend a system, whether that is a quartz broadcast for a commercial kitchen or a decorative flake for a carriage house garage.
Permitting and Historic District Information
Board of Architectural Review
Ansonborough falls within Charleston's Old and Historic District. The Board of Architectural Review oversees exterior changes to properties here. Interior improvements including floor coatings in garages, basements, and utility spaces are generally not subject to BAR review.
Our Recommendation
If your property is under a specific preservation easement, we recommend confirming with the City of Charleston's Department of Planning, Preservation and Sustainability before work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is epoxy flooring a good fit for a historic Ansonborough home?
In garages, carriage houses, basements, and utility spaces, yes. These areas are generally not subject to historic district review. A properly installed epoxy floor in these spaces holds up well and does not affect the architectural character of the property.
The concrete in my Ansonborough garage has old paint on it. Does that need to come off first?
Yes. Old paint and prior coatings need to be fully removed by diamond grinding before a new epoxy system will bond to the concrete. We handle that as part of the installation process. Coating over existing paint is one of the main reasons floors fail.
How does moisture from the Cooper River waterfront affect my floor?
Properties in Ansonborough are close to the waterfront and the city’s water table sits relatively high in this part of the peninsula. Moisture vapor rises through concrete slabs constantly here. We test every slab before coating and use a vapor barrier primer for slabs with elevated readings.
How long does installation take in Ansonborough?
Most residential jobs take one to two days. Slabs with prior coatings or significant crack repair may need an extra day for prep. We give you a realistic timeline during the estimate visit so you can plan around it.
Can you work in a converted carriage house on Anson or Society Street?
Yes. Tight access, low clearance, and older concrete with prior coatings are conditions we work in regularly throughout Ansonborough and the broader downtown peninsula. We plan around the access constraints before the job starts.
