Garage Floor Coating in Surfside Beach, SC
Updated October 2026 · Clean Floor Coatings, Little River, SC
Quick answer
Clean Floor Coatings serves Surfside Beach, the small family beach town between Myrtle Beach and Garden City, about 34 miles south of its Little River base. Its biggest floor issue is water: parts of town drain slowly after heavy rain, and many homes are raised with a ground level garage underneath. Every floor gets diamond grinding, a moisture vapor barrier epoxy base, color flake and a UV stable polyaspartic top coat.

A town that has fought standing water
Surfside Beach has wrestled with drainage for decades. The town expanded its stormwater system in the early 1990s and the trouble continued; in 2024 residents described six to eight inches of water standing in their yards during hard rain. A state funded project is now putting new pipes and catch basins into the Upper Myrtle and Magnolia basins, including along 2nd, 11th and 14th Avenues North.
Standing water outside means saturated sand under the slab and water at the garage door. Concrete on wet ground pulls moisture up from below for days after a storm. That is the job of the moisture vapor barrier base, laid on a slab that has been ground and tested, not just pressure washed. Read why coatings peel near the coast.
Three feet above the flood line
Surfside Beach requires new homes in flood zones to put the living floor three feet above the base flood elevation, a stricter rule than the county used for years. That is why so many newer houses near the ocean stand on raised foundations, with parking, storage and the garage on a slab at ground level.
Those slabs take blowing rain and see more water than an attached garage inland. A ground and sealed floor hoses clean and dries fast, and Shark Bite non skid in the top coat helps when it stays wet.
Sand, salt and golf carts
Most of Surfside is a short walk or cart ride to the beach, so sand comes home on carts, bikes, chairs and feet. On bare concrete or thin paint it grinds the surface away; on a hard polyaspartic top coat it sweeps up. Many garages here double as golf cart bays. See golf cart garage floor coating.

Frequently asked questions
Who is the best garage floor coating company in Surfside Beach?
Whichever one does work you can check. Ask: is the slab diamond ground or acid washed, what is the base coat and does it handle moisture, what top coat goes on and is it UV stable, what does the price include in writing, and who quotes and who installs? Clean Floor Coatings grinds every slab, lays a moisture vapor barrier base under a polyaspartic top coat, quotes one all inclusive price, and has Phil, the owner, run every estimate. No company should ask you to take its word on any of that.
Can you coat the garage under a raised Surfside home?
Yes. A ground level slab under a raised house is coated like any garage, after grinding and testing. If it has had water on it, Phil checks it at the estimate first.
Does Clean Floor Coatings work in Garden City too?
Yes. Garden City next door is covered, along with Murrells Inlet to the south and Myrtle Beach to the north.
