A properly installed garage floor handles vehicle weight, resists oil stains, and lasts for decades without cracking or deteriorating. We install and replace garage floors in Summerville, and serve customers throughout Charleston, Columbia, Sumter, and surrounding South Carolina communities.
A garage floor is a concrete slab designed specifically to support vehicle weight, withstand oil and chemical exposure, and provide a level surface for parking, storage, and workshop activities. Unlike standard slabs, garage floors require specific thickness, reinforcement, and slope to perform correctly.
Proper garage floor installation includes site preparation, vapor barrier installation, reinforcement placement, and finishing with appropriate slope toward the door for drainage. The concrete mix and thickness are specified based on the expected load—a residential two-car garage has different requirements than a commercial service bay.
At Next Level Concrete, we build garage floors that handle real-world use. We don't cut corners on thickness or reinforcement, and we ensure proper slope so water drains out rather than pooling inside your garage.
You're building a new garage and need a concrete floor installed
Your existing garage floor is cracked, pitted, or spalling
The floor has settled or heaved, creating uneven surfaces
Water pools in the garage instead of draining out
You're converting a carport or covered area into an enclosed garage
A workshop or commercial service area needs a heavy-duty floor
Homeowners throughout Ladson, Goose Creek, and the Sangaree area trust us for garage floor installation and replacement. We build floors that handle daily vehicle use and provide a clean, functional workspace.
Auto shops, service centers, and commercial facilities throughout North Charleston and the I-26 corridor need heavy-duty floors designed for lift systems, heavy vehicles, and constant use.
Garage floors need to be thick enough and reinforced properly to support vehicle weight without cracking. We specify the right slab thickness and rebar placement for your application—not a one-size-fits-all approach.
A garage floor should slope toward the door so water drains out. We establish correct slope during forming so you don't end up with puddles when it rains or when washing your car.
Moisture migrating up through concrete causes problems—especially if you plan to apply coatings or epoxy later. We install vapor barriers where appropriate to control moisture transmission.
Control joints determine where cracks occur. We cut joints at proper intervals and in logical locations so any cracking happens in straight, controlled lines rather than random patterns.
We carry proper licensing and insurance coverage. You're working with a professional contractor who stands behind their work.
We evaluate the site, discuss your needs (residential parking, workshop, commercial use), and provide a quote with specifications for thickness, reinforcement, and finish.
If replacing an existing floor, we remove the old concrete and haul it away. The subgrade is excavated, graded with proper slope, and compacted.
Aggregate base is installed and compacted. Vapor barrier is placed if specified. Forms are set to establish the floor edges and maintain slope toward the door.
Rebar or fiber reinforcement is placed. Concrete is poured, consolidated, and leveled to fill the forms while maintaining drainage slope.
The floor is finished to your selected texture, control joints are cut, and the concrete cures before vehicle use. We'll advise on appropriate cure time before parking.
Whether you're building new or replacing a damaged floor, call us for a site assessment and quote. We'll explain your options and give you a clear price for a garage floor built to last.
