Why Choose FlowState Epoxy Flooring in South of Broad
We Know Charleston Concrete
Not every epoxy contractor understands what the Lowcountry's climate does to a floor. We have worked in historic properties across the Charleston peninsula long enough to know that moisture, salt air, and old slabs require a different approach than a standard install. We do not skip prep steps to save time. We test before we coat. We grind before we apply. That is what makes our floors hold.
We Work Around Historic Properties
Tight carriage houses, narrow driveways, limited equipment access, old concrete with prior coatings, these are not obstacles for us. They are normal Tuesday conditions in South of Broad. We are familiar with the permitting requirements for Charleston County and the specific guidelines that apply to properties in the Old and Historic District.
The Work Stands on Its Own
We do not hard sell. We come out, look at your slab, and tell you what it needs. If the concrete is not a good candidate for coating, we will say so. If it is, we will tell you exactly what the job involves and what it costs before we start anything.
Margaret T., Tradd Street, South of Broad
"We have owned our home on Tradd Street for over twenty years. The basement floor had never been sealed and we dealt with musty odors every summer. FlowState tested the slab, explained the moisture issue, and fixed it. The space actually feels usable now."
James R., Broad Street commercial property owner
"I manage a retail space on Broad Street and the floor had been a problem since we moved in. FlowState worked over a weekend so we did not have to close. The finished floor looks professional and our customers have noticed."
Caroline H., Legare Street, South of Broad
"Our carriage house on Legare Street had a concrete floor that was rough, stained, and cracked. FlowState handled the crack repair, the grinding, and the coating. The floor has held up through two full Charleston summers without any issues."

Learn MoreDecorative Flake and Quartz Flooring

Learn MoreConcrete Epoxy Floor Installation
Many French Quarter buildings have slabs with decades of prior coatings, old adhesives, and surface history. We manage the full prep and installation process from start to finish.
Learn MoreBasement Epoxy Flooring
Basements in South of Broad sit close to the water table and deal with moisture vapor year round. We test every slab before we coat and apply vapor barrier treatment where the readings call for it.
Learn MorePolyurethane and Protective Coatings
A UV resistant topcoat is standard on every installation we do near the harbor. Salt air and South Carolina sun both degrade unprotected epoxy. Our topcoats prevent that.
Learn MoreSelf Leveling Epoxy
Older slabs in South of Broad often have settled unevenly over time. Self leveling epoxy creates a flat, smooth base before the finish coat is applied, correcting surface variation without a full slab replacement.
Learn MorePolished and Gloss Finishes
A clean, reflective finish for retail spaces, galleries, and upscale residential interiors throughout South of Broad. High gloss epoxy reflects light, stays clean with minimal maintenance, and holds up to the use these spaces see.
Learn MoreWorking in One of Charleston's Most Historic Neighborhoods
South of Broad dates to 1721. The Charleston Single Houses along Church Street, the mansions near White Point Garden, and the carriage houses on Legare and Tradd Streets have something in common: concrete in utility spaces that has gone uncoated for decades.
Old Concrete Is Not a Problem. Skipping Prep Is
We work regularly in older properties throughout South of Broad. That means more grinding, more crack repair, and thorough moisture testing before any coating touches the floor. If your home sits near the Battery on Murray Boulevard, along one of the gas lit streets south of Broad Street, or near Rainbow Row on East Bay Street, we can assess your slab and tell you exactly what it needs.

Why Moisture Is the Main Concern in South of Broad
Location Creates a Real Challenge
South of Broad sits at the southern tip of the peninsula, bounded by the Ashley and Cooper Rivers. The harbor is steps from the Battery. The water table is high and the salt air is constant.
What That Means for Your Floor
Moisture vapor rises through concrete slabs year round here, even if your space has never flooded. A coating applied without moisture testing will bubble, lift, and delaminate long before it should show any wear.
How We Handle It
Every FlowState installation in South of Broad starts with a moisture vapor test. That reading determines the right system for your slab. It is the single step that separates a floor that lasts fifteen years from one that fails in eighteen months.
Permitting and Historic District Information
What the Board of Architectural Review Covers
South of Broad falls within Charleston's Old and Historic District. The Board of Architectural Review oversees exterior changes to properties here. Interior improvements like 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 or covenant, we recommend confirming with the City of Charleston's Department of Planning, Preservation and Sustainability before work begins. We are familiar with the permitting requirements for Charleston County and the historic district guidelines that apply in South of Broad. We are happy to discuss any of this during the estimate visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does epoxy flooring last in Charleston?
A properly installed floor lasts 10 to 20 years. Prep work and moisture management are the main factors. Floors installed without them can fail in one to two years.
How long does it take to dry?
You can walk on it within 24 hours. Full cure for vehicles and heavy equipment takes about 7 days.
How much does epoxy flooring cost in Charleston, SC?
A standard two car garage runs roughly $3 to $7 per square foot installed. Decorative systems cost more. We offer free on-site estimates throughout the Charleston area.
Can epoxy handle Charleston's humidity?
Yes, when it is installed correctly. We test every slab for moisture before we coat. Skipping that step is the main reason epoxy fails in coastal climates.
Is epoxy a good fit for a historic Charleston home?
For garages, basements, and utility spaces, yes. For living areas in historic districts like South of Broad or Ansonborough, we talk through the options with each homeowner and factor in any HOA or historic district guidelines.
