Concrete floor coatings across Carroll County
Carrollton, Villa Rica and Mount Zion, across the Georgia line east of the county.
Coating concrete in Carroll County
Carroll County is a straight run out I-20 and it is growing quickly, so most of the work is newer subdivision garages plus a steady amount of small commercial around Carrollton.
Shanks Concrete Coatings works out of Anniston, and Carroll County sits inside the sixty-mile radius Taylor covers. Every floor starts the same way regardless of which county it is in: the slab is opened with a diamond grinder, cracks and spalls are repaired, and only then does anything get applied. All twenty-two systems are available here.

Systems available across Carroll County
Garage Floor Epoxy
Ground, patched and coated so hot tires and dropped tools do not mark it.
Flake Epoxy
Vinyl chip in a pigmented base under clear. The most requested floor here.
Metallic Epoxy
Pearl pigment moved through resin so the floor reads like poured stone.
Grind and Seal
The concrete you already own, opened up, stained if you want, and sealed.
Patio Coatings
Textured, UV-stable finishes for porches, patios and pool surrounds.
Commercial Epoxy
Shop, warehouse and showroom floors specified for the actual use.
What happens after you call
A call back the same day
Usually within working hours, Monday to Friday. A couple of questions about the room and the slab, then a time to come out that suits you.
A look at the actual floor
Measured, checked for moisture where it matters, and assessed for repair. Free anywhere inside the sixty-mile radius, including every town on this page.
A number in writing
The system, the preparation it needs, the schedule and the price. Nothing to sign on the doorstep and no pressure attached to it.
Three to four days on site
Three to four days for a typical garage, with Taylor on site for the grind, the repair, the broadcast and the topcoat, then a walk-through at the end.
What decides whether it lasts
Why the topcoat matters more than the base
The layer you actually walk on, wash and scuff is the clear coat, not the color underneath. A cheap job leaves a standard epoxy as the top layer, and epoxy ambers in daylight, so a garage with a west-facing door turns yellow within a couple of years. A UV-stable polyaspartic or aliphatic urethane holds its color, cures fast enough to walk on the next day, and can be scuffed and recoated years later without disturbing what is underneath.
What repair actually involves
Cracks get chased out into a V with a saw rather than simply filled, so the repair has shoulders to hold onto, then filled with a rigid polyurea that can be ground flush the same day. Spalled edges near a garage door, where water has sat and frozen for a few winters, are rebuilt with a polymer-modified patch. None of this shows in the finished floor, which is precisely why it gets skipped by people quoting the cheapest number.
One person, start to finish. There is no crew that turns up instead of the owner, and no salesman between you and the person holding the squeegee. Taylor Shanks quotes the job, runs the grinder, mixes the resin and does the walk-through at the end. On a job this size that continuity is the difference between a floor built to a standard and one built to a schedule.
Which floor for which room
Most people call about one system and end up with a different one, because the room decides more than the brochure does. A quick way to narrow it down:
You like the concrete you already have
Grind and seal. The slab is opened up, optionally stained, and sealed. It costs less than a full coating system, it keeps the character of the concrete, and on a stamped patio or an older shop floor it is very often the better-looking answer.
It is outside
A textured patio coating with a UV-stable topcoat. Color choice matters more outdoors than anywhere else, because a dark smooth surface around a pool gets hot enough to be unpleasant barefoot in an Alabama July.
The slab is in rough shape
Restoration or a self-leveling overlay before anything decorative. A coating cannot bridge a surface that has broken down; the slab has to be rebuilt flat first, and then it takes any system you like.
You park a vehicle on it
Flake, almost every time. The chip field hides tire marks and dust, the texture stops it being slick when you track rain in, and the polyaspartic topcoat handles hot tires without softening. It is the most requested floor Shanks installs and it is the right call for the large majority of garages.

Carroll County questions
Do you charge extra to come out to Carroll County?
No. Carroll County is inside the sixty-mile working radius, so it is quoted the same as a job in Anniston. The drive is Taylor’s problem, not yours.
How soon could you look at a floor in Carroll County?
Usually within the same week for a look, and the schedule for the work itself depends on the weather and what is already booked. Resin cures on a temperature and humidity window, so nothing gets squeezed in ahead of a storm.
Residential and commercial both?
Both. Garages, basements, porches and patios on the residential side, and shop, warehouse and showroom floors on the commercial side.
What if my town is not on the list?
Call anyway. The list covers the towns Shanks works in most often across Carroll County, but the radius takes in plenty of smaller communities between them.
Do you need to see the floor before quoting?
Yes, and anyone who quotes concrete coating over the phone is guessing. The condition of the slab is most of the price, and that cannot be assessed by description.
What is the most common job in Carroll County?
Flake garage floors, by a wide margin, followed by basements and covered porches. On the commercial side it is shop and warehouse floors that have never had anything on them and are shedding dust under traffic.
Can several floors be done on one visit?
Yes, and it is worth asking. A garage and a porch done together share the same mobilization, the same grinder setup and the same cleanup, so the second floor is always cheaper than it would be as a separate job.
