Brandywine, MD · Decorative concrete since 2005
Epoxy flooring in Brandywine, MD has to handle more than most. This is where US 301 and Route 5 split, and the area mixes truck yards and contractor shops with big detached garages and newer subdivisions. In the Mix Artistic Decorative Concrete, a veteran-owned shop in business since 2005, covers it all from Charlotte Hall, a short drive up Route 5.
Tim McKenna spent 15 years pouring slabs, piers and transformer pads on industrial jobs before he started In the Mix. Heavy-duty floors are familiar ground. So are the decorative ones, since he has been chasing new finishes ever since a trip to the World of Concrete around 2000.
If you have been searching epoxy flooring near me from a Brandywine address, we are close by and we do more than one kind of floor. Our full lineup of resin floor systems runs from simple garage coatings to custom metallic designs.
Flake epoxy flooring is the right call for a lot of Brandywine garages and shops. Vinyl chips are broadcast into the base coat and sealed under a tough topcoat, which hides grime, adds grip and takes a beating from boots, tools and tires.
For heavy vehicles and equipment, we build the system up accordingly. See our flake floor coating systems and chip blends.
Metallic epoxy flooring is the showpiece. Metallic pigments are worked through the resin by hand while it is wet, creating swirls and depth that look like polished stone or liquid metal. Every floor is one of a kind.
It shines in finished basements, bars, salons and showrooms. Read more about metallic epoxy and other epoxy systems.
The shops and yards along 301 see forklifts, pallet jacks, hydraulic leaks and steel-toed traffic every day. Bare concrete soaks up oil and dusts constantly. A coated floor sweeps clean and makes spills easy to spot.
For fast turnarounds, a quick-curing topcoat can help. We explain how that works on our page about polyaspartic coatings in California, MD.
A concrete skim coat is a thin cementitious layer troweled over an existing surface. On weathered front steps, a stained block foundation or a tired retaining wall, it gives a fresh concrete look, smooth or with hand-troweled texture.
Skim coat designs were one of the first decorative techniques Tim learned, and they are a quick way to make an older house look cared for.
Decorative concrete wall panels bring the texture and color of concrete to vertical surfaces. A fireplace surround, a wall behind a home bar or a reception wall in an office are all good candidates.
Panels are custom work, finished to the look you want, and they pair well with a metallic or polished floor in the same room.
We cast concrete countertops to your measurements, with your choice of color, edge and finish. Kitchen islands, bathroom vanities and outdoor bars by the pool or the fire pit are all common requests.
See finished pieces on our concrete countertops page.
Most new houses around Brandywine come with a plain gray garage slab. The easiest time for epoxy flooring in Brandywine homes is before the garage fills up with boxes and bikes, as long as the concrete has had time to cure.
Homeowners just down 301 ask for the same thing, and our page on garage floor epoxy in Waldorf covers how those jobs go.
Not every room needs a coating. In a basement or open living area with a good slab, stain gives warm, natural color, and polishing gives a hard, glossy surface with nothing on top to peel.

Brandywine sits on the line between Prince George's and Charles counties, so our work here runs both ways.

Still have a question? Call 301-904-1359 and talk it through with us.
Square footage, how much repair the slab needs, any old coating that has to come off and the system you pick. Flake, metallic and heavy-duty shop coatings all price differently. We measure and give you a written estimate for free.
Yes, with the right system and prep. Tell us what will be parked or driven on the floor, and we will build the coating up to match the load.
Flake floors use colored chips broadcast into the coating for texture and a speckled look that hides dirt. Metallic floors use pigments worked through the resin for a smooth, glossy, marbled finish. Flake is the practical choice for working garages, and metallic is the showpiece.
It can. Metallic floors get a protective topcoat, but their high-gloss finish shows tire marks and fine scratches sooner than flake. We will talk through color and topcoat options if you want metallic in a garage.
Skim coats go over existing concrete and masonry, including steps, porches, block foundations and walls. The surface needs to be sound, so we repair loose or crumbling areas first.
Fireplace surrounds, accent walls, home bars and commercial reception areas are all good fits. They are custom pieces, so we plan size, color and finish with you.
Yes, once the slab has cured long enough. Fresh concrete holds moisture, and coating it too soon can cause blistering. We can check the slab and tell you when it is ready.
Sweep or dust mop regularly, mop with warm water and a mild cleaner, and skip harsh acids. Put pads under jack stands and kickstands, and wipe up chemical spills quickly.
Garage, shop, basement or showroom, tell us what you are working with. We will look at the concrete and lay out a plan for epoxy flooring in Brandywine that fits how you use the space. If a concrete island or outdoor bar is on your list, we can quote that too.
