The Problem
Commercial Floor Problems in Des Moines Facilities
Bare concrete in a commercial building dusts, absorbs oil and chemicals, stains, cracks at the joints under forklift traffic, and can't be properly sanitized. A thin coating rolled on by a painter delaminates at the first pallet-jack turn or hot-water wash-down. Downtime is the real cost: a floor that fails in 18 months means closing the space twice.
A commercial floor coating system is specified by exposure: load, chemical, thermal, moisture, slip, and cleanability. We spec it, we put it in writing, and we install it around your operating hours.
What We Do
Commercial Floor Coating Systems
High-Build Epoxy (30–60 mils)
Warehouses, showrooms, back-of-house, light manufacturing. Solid color, quartz broadcast, or flake. Optional safety-line striping.
Urethane Cement (1/8"–1/4")
Commercial kitchens, food and beverage, breweries, wash bays, and anywhere with thermal shock or steam cleaning. Moisture-tolerant, USDA/FDA-compliant options.
Polyaspartic Fast-Turnaround Floors
Retail, auto service bays, and facilities that can only close overnight. Coated at night, open in the morning.
Quartz & Aluminum-Oxide Slip-Resistant Floors
Wet areas, locker rooms, loading docks, and OSHA slip-resistance requirements.
Joint Fill, Crack Repair & Moisture Mitigation
Polyurea joint fill for forklift traffic; epoxy moisture-vapor barriers for slabs testing over limit.

Process
How a Commercial Floor Project Runs
- Site walk & spec. We evaluate slab condition, moisture, drainage, exposures, and downtime windows, then write a system spec with product data sheets.
- Itemized proposal. Prep, repair, mitigation, each coat, striping, and labor as separate lines. Fixed price unless scope changes in writing.
- Scheduling around operations. Phased installs, nights, weekends, holidays.
- Prep. Diamond grinding or shot blasting with dust collection; joint and crack repair; moisture mitigation if required.
- Install & documentation. Thickness readings, batch numbers, photos, and a close-out package with maintenance instructions and warranty.
Pricing
Commercial Epoxy Flooring Cost in Des Moines
Price is driven by system thickness, broadcast media, slab repair, moisture mitigation, and off-hours scheduling. We provide itemized proposals and can often value-engineer a spec to fit a budget without cutting the prep.

Built For This Climate
Commercial Floors and Iowa Conditions
Iowa commercial slabs deal with de-icing salt tracked in by trucks and forklifts, temperature swings at dock doors, and spring moisture drive. Our commercial systems are specified for those exposures: salt-resistant topcoats, flexible joint fill, and moisture mitigation where the slab calls for it.
