Shoreline Garage Floor Coating Transforms Fred's Space in Washington, IL
See how Loud Bros transformed Fred's 500 sq ft garage in Washington, IL with a stunning, reflective Shoreline floor coating in just one day.
When Fred contacted us, he had a clear vision for his garage in Washington, IL: he wanted a floor that wasn't just tough, but also brightened up his workspace. His existing concrete was doing what bare concrete does best – gathering dust, soaking up stains, and just generally looking uninspired. We knew exactly what to do. Our Shoreline coating system was the perfect fit to bring his vision to life, transforming his 500 square foot garage in just one day.
The Problem with Plain Concrete: Dull, Dusty, and Demanding
Let's be honest, bare concrete floors are a headache. They're porous, meaning they absorb every oil drip, chemical spill, and tire mark. They create dust that settles on everything. They crack, chip, and generally make your garage feel less like a functional space and more like a neglected storage unit. Fred's garage was no exception.
Imagine trying to work on a project, straining your eyes under dim lighting, all while battling a perpetually dirty floor. That was Fred's reality. The grey, unsealed surface offered no light reflection, making the entire space feel dark and dreary. It was high time for a change.

The Loud Bros Solution: Our Shoreline Coating System
We don't just put down a coating; we install a high-performance floor system designed to last. For Fred's garage in Washington, we recommended our Shoreline coating system. This isn't just about aesthetics; it's about creating a durable, functional, and visually appealing surface.
Our process is meticulous, ensuring a bond that stands the test of time:
- Preparation is Key: We started by diamond grinding the entire 500 sq ft surface. This isn't just cleaning; it's creating the perfect profile for our coatings to adhere strongly. No shortcuts here.
- Repair and Prime: We addressed any existing cracks or imperfections, then applied a robust primer layer to ensure maximum adhesion and a flawless foundation.
- Basecoat & Flake Application: Next came the basecoat, followed by the even distribution of our Shoreline flake blend. This is where the magic starts to happen, building texture and visual depth.
- Clear Coat Protection: Finally, a thick, UV-stable polyaspartic clear coat was applied. This is the shield that protects against abrasions, chemicals, and fading, locking in the beauty and ensuring longevity.
One of the standout benefits of the Shoreline system, and a key reason Fred chose it, is its incredible light-reflective properties. This brightens the entire workspace, making it easier to see what you're doing and making the garage feel larger and more inviting.
