How Loud Bros Runs a 7-Figure Coating Company on CoatingOS
CoatingOS isn't software imagined by a tech company. It's the operating system of a real coating business — the founder's own.
Built inside a working coating company
Jackson Stephenson founded Loud Bros in Bloomington, Illinois — polyaspartic garage floors, custom cabinets, and commercial coatings. For years the business ran on generic CRMs and spreadsheets that didn't understand multi-day cures, material math, or weather-dependent scheduling.
So he built the system himself. Today, every Loud Bros lead, estimate, work order, invoice, and review request runs through CoatingOS — and the same system is what coating contractors in other markets get on day one.
"My own 7-figure coating company runs entirely on it — every lead, every estimate, every invoice. This is the system I wish I had from day one."
The system, from lead to five-star review
This is how a job actually flows through Loud Bros — and how it flows through every coating company on CoatingOS.
A lead comes in — and gets a text in seconds
Every website form, ad lead, and phone inquiry lands in one pipeline, and an automated text goes out immediately. In coatings, the contractor who responds first usually wins the job — so Loud Bros never responds second.

Square-footage pricing with system options — full flake, metallic, grind-and-seal — built from templates we refined on real garage floors. The customer reviews, signs, and pays a deposit from their phone.
See estimatesThe install day runs on a tight schedule
One-day polyaspartic installs leave no slack: prep, basecoat, flake broadcast, topcoat. Crews get dispatched with full work orders in the mobile app and upload before-and-after photos from the garage.

The invoice generates from the completed job and payment is collected on the spot. Then the system asks the happy customer for a review — which is how a local coating company ends up with 400+ five-star reviews.

Is Loud Bros a real company?
Yes — Loud Bros is a polyaspartic floor coating company in Bloomington, Illinois, operating for 7 years with 400+ five-star reviews. It's owned by Jackson Stephenson, the founder of CoatingOS, and runs every lead, estimate, and invoice through the platform.
Why does it matter that CoatingOS is built by a working contractor?
Because every feature exists to solve a problem a real coating company actually hit. Nothing in CoatingOS was designed in a conference room — the estimate templates, follow-up sequences, and crew workflows were built and tested on real jobs first.
Will the same system work for my coating business?
The workflows aren't specific to one market: respond to leads instantly, follow up until the estimate is answered, run installs on a tight schedule, and ask every happy customer for a review. CoatingOS ships with that system pre-built.
