Transforming a School Art Room Floor in Bakersfield, CA

Location: Bakersfield, CA

Client Request: Art Room Floor Coating

Time to Complete: One Day

Installers: Steve Halloway Painting


When you think of a school art room, you might picture colorful projects, creative chaos, and lots of foot traffic. What you probably don’t think about is the beating the floor takes every day. That’s exactly the challenge Steve Halloway Painting tackled in Bakersfield, CA, when we were called in to give a school’s art room floor a much-needed makeover.


The original floor had seen better days—scratched, stained, and simply worn out from years of paint splatters, moving furniture, and bustling students. The school needed a fresh, durable floor that could stand up to the daily grind of young artists while still looking great.


The Request: Durable Meets Stylish

This wasn’t just a quick fix. The school wanted a floor that would look polished and professional while withstanding heavy use from students of all ages. They also needed something that could handle messy art projects and constant cleaning. In short, the floor had to be tough, easy to maintain, and still bring a bright, inviting vibe to the room.


How We Got It Done

The best part? We completed this transformation in just one day! Here’s how we made it happen:


1. Surface Prep

We started by prepping the floor to perfection. Proper preparation is key to a long-lasting floor coating. We cleaned the surface thoroughly, removed old finishes, and made sure everything was smooth and ready to go.


2. The Coating

Once the floor was prepped, we applied a high-performance coating designed to handle heavy use. This coating resists scratches, stains, and wear, so it’s ready for years of art projects, chair scuffles, and the occasional glitter spill.


3. The Finish

Finally, we topped it off with a polished finish that not only looked great but also added a slip-resistant texture for safety. It’s the perfect balance of functionality and style—just what the school needed.


The Result: A Room Ready for Anything

The transformation was immediate. The refreshed floor brightened the art room, making it a more inviting space for students to unleash their creativity. Teachers loved how easy the surface was to clean, and the school staff appreciated its durability. Now, the floor is a feature that livens the entire space. It’s ready to handle everything from messy art days to years of wear and tear without losing its fresh, vibrant look.


Why Floors Matter in Creative Spaces

An art room is a hub of imagination and learning. Having a floor that supports that environment is essential. A durable, low-maintenance, and attractive surface helps keep the focus on what matters: fostering creativity in a safe and functional space.
