Transforming an Oversized Two-Car Garage with Stem Walls
A Custom Flake Blend That Redefines Strength and Style

When it comes to upgrading your garage, flooring is one of the most important investments you can make. For this oversized two-car garage with stem walls, a custom flake blend coating was the perfect solution—offering both durability and design appeal. More than just a cosmetic upgrade, the right garage floor coating protects concrete from wear and tear while adding value to your home.
Why Stem Walls Matter in Garage Flooring
Stem walls serve as a crucial barrier between the ground and the garage floor. By elevating the slab above grade, they:
- Prevent water intrusion during heavy rain or flooding.
- Add stability to the structure by distributing weight evenly.
- Allow seamless floor-to-wall transitions for a more polished look.
In this project, the oversized garage’s stem walls were coated along with the main slab, creating a fully encapsulated surface that looks clean and professional while remaining easy to maintain.
Benefits of a Custom Flake Blend
Unlike plain gray concrete or DIY paint kits, a custom flake blend offers both performance and visual appeal. Homeowners increasingly choose this type of finish for several reasons:
- Unique Design Options – With countless color blends, flakes can be customized to complement your home’s style, whether you prefer neutral tones or bold contrasts.
- Slip Resistance – Flakes add texture to the floor, reducing the risk of slips and falls.
- Durability – Combined with polyurea or epoxy base layers, flake floors resist abrasions, chemicals, and heavy impacts.
- Low Maintenance – Spills wipe up easily, and dust is less visible compared to plain concrete.
For this oversized garage, the custom flake blend transformed a standard concrete slab into a showroom-quality space that will last for years to come.
Perfect for Oversized Garages
Bigger garages demand tougher coatings. An oversized two-car garage not only houses vehicles but often doubles as a workshop, storage space, or even a home gym. With heavy use, plain concrete can quickly crack, stain, or deteriorate.
By applying a high-performance coating with a custom flake blend:
- The floor withstands constant traffic from cars, tools, and equipment.
- The bright, clean finish improves lighting, making the garage more functional.
- The coated stem walls provide a seamless transition, protecting edges where damage often starts.
Why Homeowners and Real Estate Professionals Choose Professional Installation
While DIY kits are tempting, professional floor coating installation ensures:
- Proper surface preparation for long-lasting adhesion.
- High-quality materials designed to withstand North Carolina’s varying climate.
- Warranty-backed results that increase home value and buyer appeal.
For real estate professionals, showcasing a garage with a premium flake blend coating can set a listing apart, instantly boosting curb appeal and marketability.
