When Josh from Bloomington contacted Loud Bros, he had a clear goal: transform his 400 sq ft garage from a dusty, uninspiring space into a functional, great-looking workspace. We hear this a lot. Bare concrete floors are a real drag, especially when they're part of your daily grind.
The Problem with Bare Concrete Floors in Bloomington
Josh's garage was no different from many we see in Bloomington. The concrete was worn, stained, and constantly kicking up dust. Every time he worked, he was breathing in concrete dust, and spills were a nightmare to clean.
- Dust Everywhere: Bare concrete constantly sheds, creating a fine layer of dust on everything.
- Stains and Spills: Oil, grease, and chemicals soak right into porous concrete, leaving permanent marks.
- Hard to Clean: Dirt and grime get trapped in the rough surface, making scrubbing a never-ending chore.
- Unprofessional Look: For a workspace, an ugly, damaged floor just doesn't cut it.
Josh knew he needed a solution that would stand up to heavy use, look sharp, and be simple to maintain. That's where Loud Bros stepped in.
Our Solution: The Wombat Coating System
We recommended our robust Wombat coating system for Josh's garage. This isn't just paint; it's a high-performance, multi-layer system designed for maximum durability and aesthetic appeal. The Wombat system is known for its incredible resistance to abrasions, chemicals, and impact – perfect for a busy workspace.
Our process is thorough and efficient:
- Diamond Grinding: We started by mechanically preparing the 400 sq ft concrete surface. This isn't just cleaning; it's creating the perfect profile for the coating to bond permanently. You can't skip this step if you want a floor that lasts.
- Crack Repair: We meticulously addressed any cracks or imperfections, ensuring a smooth, flawless base.
- Basecoat Application: Next, we applied the Wombat basecoat, which provides superior adhesion and forms the foundation of the system.
- Flake Broadcast: We then broadcast the decorative flakes, creating a beautiful, textured finish that also adds slip resistance.
- Clear Topcoat: Finally, we sealed everything with a crystal-clear, high-gloss topcoat. This layer provides incredible protection and makes the floor incredibly easy to clean.
The entire process for Josh's 400 sq ft garage was completed in just one day. That's right – from dusty, stained concrete to a stunning, functional floor in less than 24 hours. We work fast, but we never cut corners.
The Results: A Transformed Workspace
The difference was night and day. Josh's garage now boasts a beautiful, resilient floor that completely transforms his workspace. It's bright, easy to sweep, and spills wipe right up without a trace.
- Durability: The Wombat system can handle heavy tools, vehicle traffic, and chemical spills without flinching.
- Easy Maintenance: No more dust, no more scrubbing. A quick sweep and mop are all it takes to keep it looking pristine.

Considering a Floor Coating for Your Home or Business?
If you're in Bloomington or the surrounding areas and tired of your bare, ugly concrete, take a page out of Josh's book. Investing in a high-quality floor coating is one of the best upgrades you can make.
Here's what to look for:
- Professional Preparation: The longevity of your floor depends entirely on proper surface prep. Don't let anyone skip the grinding.
- Quality Materials: Not all coatings are created equal. Ask about the system being used and its specific benefits.
