Epoxy Flooring in Bloomington, CA

Epoxy flooring in Bloomington has to handle a lot of use. The 2020 census put the average household here at 4.18 people, well above the norm for the region. A bigger household means more cars, more stored gear and a garage that often doubles as a workshop, a laundry area or a play space. Bloomington is also partly rural. Wikipedia notes that many residents still keep and raise animals, so some properties have sheds, pens and outbuildings with concrete floors too.

How Bloomington garages get used

When a garage holds a freezer, a washer and dryer, bikes, tools and a car, the floor takes spills of every kind. Paint, motor oil, detergent, water from the laundry and dirt from the yard all land on it. On bare concrete those stains soak in. On a coated floor they wipe up. For these garages we suggest a full flake system. The chips hide wear and make the floor easier to keep looking clean.

Outbuildings and animal areas

On lots with animals, a shed or barn floor deals with feed, bedding, water and manure carried in on boots. We coat sound concrete in feed rooms, tool sheds and workshops with a textured finish that can be hosed down. We add a cove at the base of the walls where spills collect. If a slab is cracked through, sunken or has water coming up from below, we tell you before quoting.

A community in change

Bloomington is unincorporated, so San Bernardino County handles its land use. Warehousing has pushed in quickly. In 2022 the county approved demolishing Zimmerman Elementary School for a warehouse, and in 2024 residents protested the planned demolition of 117 homes for warehouse projects. Late in 2024 a Superior Court judge halted construction on the Bloomington Business Park until the county redoes its environmental review. For homeowners who are staying, upgrading the garage and outbuildings is a way to get more use out of the property they have.

Summer heat

The July average high in Bloomington is 94°F, and the record is 113°F. A detached shop with a metal roof can get much hotter inside. Heat shortens the working time of epoxy, so on summer jobs we start early and check slab temperature before each coat.

Getting the floor ready

Before we start, the garage or shed has to be empty. In a busy household that is the hardest part of the job, so we give you a list ahead of time. Appliances, shelving and anything stored on the floor need to move out. On the day, we grind the slab, vacuum it, repair cracks and lay the coats. The floor then needs time to cure before things go back. We tell you how long, in writing, based on the system and the weather.
