Leonardtown, MD · Decorative concrete since 2005
Epoxy flooring in Leonardtown, MD takes a little more thought than it does inland. With Breton Bay and the river close by, damp slabs are common, and moisture is what ruins coatings. In the Mix Artistic Decorative Concrete is a veteran-owned shop in business since 2005, based in Charlotte Hall, straight up Route 5.
We do garages, basements, storefronts and kitchens across St. Mary's County. Polyaspartic coatings, metallic and flake epoxy, polished and stained concrete, countertops and decorative wall panels. Owner Tim McKenna poured concrete for substations and power plants for 15 years before he started this business, so he looks at a Leonardtown slab the way an engineer would before he thinks about color.
A lot of our calls here start with someone searching epoxy flooring near me after a cheap garage kit started peeling. That is fixable. The answer is usually better prep and the right system for a damp slab, and we will walk you through both at a free estimate.
A polyaspartic floor coating cures much faster than standard epoxy and holds its color in sunlight instead of yellowing. That matters in a garage where the door stays open on summer afternoons and the slab catches the light.
It is also a good match for people who cannot give up the garage for long. We often pair a polyaspartic topcoat with a flake or solid base. Our polyaspartic and epoxy systems page breaks down the options.
Basements close to the water fight a high water table and humid air. Vapor coming up through the slab is the main reason basement coatings blister and lift.
Before any epoxy flooring in Leonardtown goes over a basement slab, we check it for moisture. If it is wet, we tell you, and we look at a moisture-tolerant primer or a different system rather than guessing. See the full range of basement-friendly floor coatings we install.
Walk the square on a First Friday and you see how much foot traffic these storefronts take. Polished concrete is built for that. The slab is ground, densified and polished, so there is no coating to wear through, and it only needs a dust mop and a damp mop to stay clean.

Stained concrete gives a floor deep, mottled color that looks closer to leather or natural stone than paint. Each slab takes the stain a little differently, which is the point. No two floors match.
It works in living rooms, sunrooms, finished basements and screened porches. A sealer goes over the stain to protect it, and that sealer can be refreshed down the road. Read more about stained concrete floors.
With Pax River just down the road, plenty of Leonardtown houses change hands on Navy orders. A clean, coated garage floor is one of those upgrades buyers and renters notice right away, and it covers years of oil stains in a single project.
If you have a move date, tell us when you call. We will be upfront about whether the schedule and the cure time fit before you commit.
Older houses around town often have slabs with settlement cracks, old patches or a layer of paint someone put down decades ago. None of that is a deal breaker.
We grind off old coatings, fill and repair cracks, and when the surface is too rough to coat, we resurface it with a cementitious overlay first. Epoxy flooring in Leonardtown homes like these is only as good as that repair work.
Concrete is not just for floors. Decorative concrete wall panels bring the same texture and color to a fireplace surround, a feature wall in a restaurant or the wall behind a home bar.
They are custom work, cast and finished to the look you want, and they pair well with a stained or polished floor in the same room.
When the floor and counters come from the same shop, the colors and finishes can be planned together. We cast kitchen islands, vanities and outdoor counters to order and seal them for everyday use.

Polyaspartic cures faster and resists yellowing in sunlight, so it suits garages that stay open to the light and owners who want the space back sooner. Standard epoxy still makes sense in some basements and for certain decorative finishes. We will recommend one after seeing the slab.
Faster than standard epoxy, but the exact walk-on and drive-on times depend on the product, the temperature and the humidity. We give you those times for your specific system before the job starts.
Moisture is the most common reason basement coatings fail, which is why we check the slab first. A damp slab can often still be coated with the right primer or system. If the water problem is serious, we will tell you before you spend money on a coating.
Yes. Polished concrete is the slab itself, ground and densified, so there is no coating to wear through. It handles heavy foot traffic well and is easy to keep clean.
The stain becomes part of the concrete surface rather than sitting on top like paint. What wears is the sealer above it, and that can be cleaned and resealed to keep the color looking rich.
Dust mop often and damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid acidic cleaners and wipe up spills like wine or citrus before they sit.
We visit the property, look at the condition of the slab, measure, talk through finishes and colors, and give you a written estimate. There is no charge and no obligation.
Yes. We handle projects big and small, from a one-car garage or a single bathroom floor up to large commercial spaces.
