Bloomington Garage Floor Transformed: James's Briar Coating Project
See how Loud Bros transformed James's 400 sq ft garage in Bloomington, IL, into a stunning, functional space with a durable Briar floor coating.
When James from Bloomington, IL contacted Loud Bros, he had a vision: his garage wasn't just for parking cars. He wanted it to be an extension of his home – a clean, durable, and inviting space. Many homeowners in Normal, IL and beyond share this dream. A concrete coating isn't just about aesthetics; it's about adding real, usable square footage to your property.
The Problem: A Typical, Tired Garage Floor
Bare concrete floors in garages are notorious for a few things. They're dust magnets, always tracking grime into the house. They stain easily from oil, grease, and chemicals. Cracks and pitting are common, making the space look neglected and feel rough underfoot. And let's be honest, they're cold and unwelcoming – not exactly the "extra room" feel James was going for.
James's 400 sq ft garage in Bloomington was no exception. It was functional, sure, but far from inspiring. He knew it was time for an upgrade, something that would not only look great but also stand up to daily abuse.


The Solution: A Durable Briar Garage Floor Coating
At Loud Bros, we specialize in turning these drab spaces into dream floors. For James's project, we recommended our Briar polyaspartic garage floor coating system. This isn't just paint; it's a high-performance coating designed for extreme durability and lasting beauty. The entire transformation of James's 400 sq ft garage was completed in just one day – minimizing disruption and maximizing impact.
Our Process for a Flawless Finish:
- Preparation is Key: We start every project with meticulous surface preparation. This means grinding the concrete to remove old sealers, contaminants, and create the perfect profile for our coatings to bond permanently. This step is non-negotiable for a floor that lasts.

- Base Coat Application: Once prepped, we apply a robust base coat. This is the foundation of the system, providing a strong, seamless layer.

- Flake Broadcast: Next, we generously broadcast the Briar-colored flakes across the wet base coat. This creates the unique, granite-like appearance and adds an extra layer of durability and slip resistance.
- Clear Topcoat: Finally, we apply a crystal-clear polyaspartic topcoat. This is where the magic happens, sealing everything in, providing UV stability, incredible abrasion resistance, and that signature glossy finish that makes the Briar system pop.
The Briar Difference:
- Unmatched Durability: Resists abrasions, chemicals, and hot tire pickup.
- Easy to Clean: Spills wipe right up, and dust is a thing of the past.
- Stunning Aesthetics: The Briar flakes create a sophisticated, modern look.
- Adds Value: A beautiful, functional garage boosts your home's appeal and value.
