Epoxy Flooring in Bedford, IN

Bedford calls itself the Limestone Capital of the World, and epoxy flooring in Bedford means working in a town ringed by quarries. Stone from around here went into the Empire State Building, the Pentagon and monuments in Washington, D.C. The town was laid out as the Lawrence County seat in 1825 and became a city in 1889. It is about 18 miles south of Bloomington, an easy drive for our crew.

Homeowners, mostly

Bedford's housing is very different from Bloomington's. Census QuickFacts lists 67.2% of Bedford homes as owner-occupied, and the median owner-occupied home value is $152,400 (2020 to 2024). The 2020 census counted 13,792 residents and 6,610 housing units. Most of the floors we see here belong to people who live above them and plan to stay. They want a garage or basement that stays clean and lasts, at a price that makes sense for the house.

Getting value from a coating

On a modest home, we help you put the budget where it does the most good:

• Garage first. A garage floor epoxy system stops winter damage near the door and makes the space easier to keep clean.
• Flake over metallic. A flake floor gives a finished look and hides wear at a lower cost than a decorative metallic finish.
• Repair only what matters. We fix the cracks and spalls that would cause problems and leave cosmetic marks that the coating will cover.
• One written quote. The prep, the system and the total are all on paper before you decide.

Weather that swings hard

Bedford's records run from -29°F to 111°F. It averages about 45 inches of precipitation and 19 inches of snow a year. On May 25, 2011, an EF3 tornado touched down near the city and closed U.S. Route 50 for a time. Wide swings are hard on bare concrete. Hot summers bake the slab, and winter cold freezes any water in its pores. A coating seals the surface against water and brine. For a garage that faces south or west, a polyaspartic topcoat holds its color in direct sun better than standard epoxy.

Older houses near the square

Bedford has a Courthouse Square Historic District, a Zahn Historic District and several individually listed homes and buildings. Older houses around the center often have basements and garages poured long ago. Those slabs can have old paint, settlement cracks and no vapor barrier. We grind, repair and test before coating, and our Concrete Crack & Floor Repair work covers the patching.

Living with the stone

Salem Limestone is quarried mainly between Bloomington and Bedford. On a property near a quarry road or a stone yard, fine dust tracks into garages and settles on bare concrete, where it grinds in and gets hard to sweep. A coated floor gives that dust nowhere to hide. It sweeps or blows out, and a damp mop finishes the job. For those garages, a flake finish in a mid-tone color hides the light gray film between cleanings.

Work floors

A quarry and stone town has plenty of working garages and small shops. Floors that take trucks, tools and grit need a heavier build than a home garage. Our Shop & Commercial Floor Epoxy systems are made for that. Call (812) 616-5721 to set up a free estimate anywhere in Bedford.
