Garage Floor Coating and Poolside Brick Resealing in Hideaway, Texas
A Hideaway, Texas family wanted their garage and backyard brick to work better for everyday life. Their garage serves as a home gym, a place for a cold plunge, extra refrigerator space, vehicle parking, and storage for toys and other family items. Epoxy Coat Masters installed a full-broadcast garage floor coating in the Torginol Thunder flake blend and also resealed the brick near the pool after a previously applied product left the surface slippery.
The project addressed two very different surfaces at the same home. The garage received a complete visual transformation, while the brick resealing focused on how the outdoor area felt and functioned underfoot. Together, the updates helped make two heavily used parts of the property more practical for a family with young children.
Project at a Glance

A Garage Used for Much More Than Parking
This garage was an active extension of the home. Exercise equipment and floor mats supported the family’s workouts. A cold plunge and extra refrigerator added more daily uses, while toys, storage containers, a golf cart, and vehicles all shared the remaining space.
The original concrete made the garage feel unfinished despite everything the family had set up inside it. Bare areas, visible discoloration, and variations across the slab stood out between the mats, equipment, and stored items. A decorative coating offered a way to create one consistent foundation without changing the many ways the garage was already being used.
Preparing the Existing Garage Floor
A full-broadcast flake floor depends on careful surface preparation. The equipment and movable items had to be cleared so the crew could reach the concrete throughout the garage. The slab was then mechanically prepared, and surface issues that could be handled as part of the coating process were addressed before the new system was installed.
The close-up photos document the condition and variation in the concrete before coating. Including those details gives a clearer picture of what the installation involved and why preparation is such an important part of a finished garage floor.
Installing a Full-Broadcast Thunder Flake Floor
The homeowners selected Torginol Thunder for the garage. The blend combines light, medium, and dark tones to create a cool neutral appearance with plenty of visual movement. It works especially well in this space because it coordinates with the white walls, dark gym mats, vehicles, and equipment without making the garage feel too dark.
In a full-broadcast system, decorative flakes cover the wet base coat completely. After the broadcast is ready, the loose material is removed and the surface is refined before the protective top coat is applied. The dense flake coverage creates the consistent finish visible in the completed photos.
A Finished Floor for Everyday Family Life
Once the coating was complete and the garage returned to service, the space still supported all of its original uses. The family could bring back the motorcycle, vehicles, golf cart, cold plunge, refrigerator, workout equipment, and stored belongings. The difference was the surface beneath everything.
The Thunder flake floor gave the entire garage a more finished appearance and created a consistent surface from the doorway to the walls. The multi-color pattern also works well in a busy garage because dust and everyday marks tend to be less visually prominent than they would be on a single solid color.
Correcting Slippery Brick Near the Pool
The backyard portion of the project had a different purpose. The homeowner had previously sealed the brick around the outdoor living area himself, but the product he used left the surface slippery. He joked that the result had not gone over well with his wife.
The concern was understandable. This brick sits beside an outdoor kitchen and near the pool, where wet feet and children moving through the area are part of normal family life. Epoxy Coat Masters resealed the brick with the goal of correcting the slick surface and making it better suited to the way the family uses the backyard.
The visual difference from brick resealing can be subtle compared with a new decorative garage floor. In this case, the important improvement involved the way the surface performed. The completed photos show the brick retaining its established appearance throughout the patio and outdoor kitchen area.
Two Practical Updates at One Hideaway Home
This project shows how professional concrete and masonry services can address different needs across one property. The garage gained a decorative full-broadcast floor designed around an active family’s daily routine. The backyard brick was resealed to address a problem created by the previous product while preserving the look of the outdoor space.
