When Ellen contacted us from Bloomington, she had a clear goal: her garage floor needed an upgrade. Like many homeowners, she was sick of her hard-to-clean bare concrete. She wanted a solution that would stand up to the Midwest's harsh weather, protect against spills, and make maintenance a breeze. We knew exactly what she needed – our premium Orbit Polyaspartic system.

The Problem: A Garage Floor That Couldn't Keep Up

Bare concrete in a garage is a magnet for trouble. It's porous, meaning it readily absorbs everything from oil and grease to antifreeze and road salt. These substances don't just stain; they can degrade the concrete over time, leading to pitting, cracking, and an unsightly mess.

For Ellen, the daily grind of keeping her garage clean was a constant battle. Spills would soak in, leaving permanent marks. Dust was an endless nuisance, tracking into her home. And the thought of corrosive road salt from winter driving slowly eating away at her floor was a real concern.

  • Stains: Oil, chemicals, and even water can leave lasting marks.
  • Dust: Bare concrete sheds fine dust, making everything dirty.
  • Damage: Pitting and cracking from impacts, chemicals, and freeze-thaw cycles.
  • Difficulty Cleaning: Scrubbing porous concrete is a losing battle.

Ellen's garage, like countless others in Bloomington, deserved better. It deserved a floor that was as functional and resilient as the rest of her home.

Our Solution: The Orbit Polyaspartic System in Bloomington

At Loud Bros, we don't just apply coatings; we provide lasting solutions. For Ellen's 760 sq ft garage in Bloomington, our recommendation was clear: the Orbit Polyaspartic Floor Coating system. This isn't just paint; it's an industrial-grade, multi-layer system designed for extreme durability and aesthetics.

Our process is meticulous and efficient, ensuring a superior bond and a flawless finish:

Step 1: Preparation is Key

We started by diamond grinding the entire 760 sq ft surface. This crucial step opens up the concrete's pores, removing old sealers, contaminants, and creating the ideal profile for our coating to adhere permanently. Without proper preparation, even the best coating won't last.

Step 2: Repair and Prime

Any cracks or imperfections in Ellen's concrete were meticulously repaired. We then applied a high-performance primer, ensuring maximum adhesion and a solid foundation for the subsequent layers. This sets the stage for a uniform and robust finish.

Step 3: Base Coat and Flake Application

Next, we applied the colored base coat, followed immediately by broadcasting the decorative Orbit flakes. These flakes don't just add visual appeal; they provide texture and further enhance the floor's durability. The key is to apply them evenly and to full refusal, ensuring complete coverage.

Step 4: Polyaspartic Topcoat

Finally, we applied two layers of our clear, high-solids Polyaspartic topcoat. This is where the magic happens. Polyaspartic is incredibly resistant to abrasions, chemicals, UV rays, and impacts. It creates a seamless, non-porous surface that is impervious to spills and incredibly easy to clean. The entire process, from start to finish, took us just one day, minimizing disruption for Ellen.


The Transformation: A Floor Built to Last

The results speak for themselves. Ellen's garage in Bloomington was completely transformed. What was once a source of frustration is now a point of pride. The Orbit Polyaspartic system delivered everything she asked for and more:

  • Effortless Cleaning: Spills now bead on the surface and wipe away with ease. No more scrubbing oil stains or worrying about road salt corrosion.
  • Unmatched Durability: This floor is built to withstand heavy vehicles, dropped tools, and the daily wear and tear of a busy garage.
