Transform Your Tazewell County Basement with Garage FX® Floor Coatings

Most Morton basements start as bare concrete and stay that way for years. We change that. GarageExperts of Central Illinois applies our proprietary Garage FX® floor coatings to basement concrete floors, turning an underused space into a clean, durable extension of your home. As a locally owned and operated business backed by a nationally recognized brand with over 80 million square feet of Garage FX® flooring applied since 2008, we bring proven results to Central Illinois homeowners.

The Garage FX® system combines industrial-strength epoxy and a polyaspartic topcoat into a coating that’s stronger than the concrete beneath it. It works on any concrete floor, residential or commercial, and it’s built to last.

Why Morton Homeowners Choose GarageExperts of Central Illinois

We design and manufacture our own Garage FX® flooring and storage systems. That vertical integration means tighter quality control and a product built for this application, not a third-party coating resold under a different name. Every material is American-made.

With over 140 colors, finishes, and flake blends available, you choose how the finished floor looks. Once it’s down, the Garage FX® system resists peeling, chipping, abrasions, chemicals, and UV rays, all backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

A Complete Basement Makeover, Not Just a Floor Coating

Basement epoxy flooring is the foundation of a better space, but the floor alone doesn’t solve the clutter. We pair Garage FX® floor coatings with adjustable wood cabinets and slatwall organization solutions engineered for strength and real storage capacity. Our cabinets are built from wood sourced from replenishable North American forests.

The coated surface is seamless and non-porous, so spills and moisture sit on top rather than soaking into the slab. Pair that with organized walls and cabinets, and the basement can function as part of your home rather than as storage overflow.

Serving Morton & Tazewell County

Morton sits in Tazewell County, Illinois, roughly ten miles southeast of Peoria. Like most of the Midwest, homes here are built on foundations excavated below the frost line, which makes a full basement a practical byproduct of standard construction. Most Morton homes already have usable below-grade square footage waiting to be finished. GarageExperts of Central Illinois serves Morton and the surrounding Tazewell County area.

How We Apply Garage FX® Coatings to Basement Floors

A durable basement epoxy flooring result depends on what happens before the coating goes down. Our process follows a defined sequence so the finished surface bonds correctly and performs for the long term.

Surface Grinding & Preparation

We grind the concrete surface before applying anything. This step removes contaminants that would prevent the coating from bonding and opens the concrete for adhesion. Skipping or shortcutting this stage is a common reason coatings fail prematurely.

Crack & Joint Repair

Basement floors often have cracks or control joints from settling and seasonal movement. Before the main coating goes down, we treat these with our Garage FX® epoxy repair product, formulated for concrete cracks and joints.

Fusing Epoxy Primer

The Garage FX® fusing epoxy primer forms a strong molecular bond with the prepared concrete. This layer anchors the system to the slab and gives the finished coating its staying power.

Polyaspartic Topcoat

The final layer is a polyaspartic topcoat applied over the epoxy base. Polyaspartic coatings cure quickly and add a hard, UV-stable surface that resists scuffs, chemicals, and moisture. The result is a finished floor that looks sharp and holds up under everyday use.
