About Us | Blue Water Epoxy Floors, LLC

Blue Water Epoxy Floors is a legacy built on public service, technical mastery, and local accountability. Founded in Hampstead, NC, by Matt Payne, a retired Lieutenant from the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Department, our family-owned business brings a level of discipline and reliability rare in today’s flooring industry. Matt’s 3rd Generation floor coverings and decades of commitment to Southeastern North Carolina, from patrolling the waters off Wrightsville Beach to leading dive operations along the Intracoastal, directly inspire the 'Blue Water' name and our expertise in coastal concrete protection. In 2024, Matt’s son, Jacob Payne, joined the operation, cementing a generational standard of craftsmanship. We proudly serve homeowners and businesses in Wilmington, Hampstead, Surf City, and beyond, delivering industrial-grade epoxy floor coatings and full flake designer systems. Every project is managed with the same precision, punctuality, and honesty that defined Matt’s 22-year career in law enforcement. This family ethos ensures you receive a seamless, zero-mess experience and a flawless finish.

At Blue Water Epoxy Floors, our mission is to set the professional standard for epoxy coatings in the challenging coastal North Carolina climate. We know our clients—whether in a historic Wilmington neighborhood, a Surf City beach house, or a Pender County commercial space—face unique environmental stressors: salt air, humidity, UV exposure, and relentless wear. Our process is engineered for these conditions, starting with industrial-grade mechanical grinding and vacuum-equipped dust control, followed by expert crack repair and the application of professional-grade resins. We don’t take shortcuts with DIY kits or one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we offer a comprehensive color palette and designer flake systems, including exclusive Lunar, Saddle Tan, and Kona Beige Brindle Flake finishes, to reflect your style and outlast the elements. Our commitment to process integrity, punctuality, and transparent communication—driven by Danielle Coleman’s professional management—ensures every client feels informed, respected, and secure. Blue Water Epoxy Floors is your trusted, local partner for high-performance, long-lasting flooring.
