When To Call

When Altoona Homeowners Call Us

Altoona calls come from new homeowners wanting the garage done before move-in, from older neighborhoods with salt scaling, and from businesses along Adventureland Drive and 1st Avenue that need a shop or warehouse floor coated over a weekend.

Peeling DIY epoxy

— The most common call. We grind it off and install a system that stays down. H3: Salt-pitted, dusting concrete — We repair, grind, and seal it under a full-flake floor. H3: New construction — We coordinate with your builder for a 28-day cure and moisture test before coating. H3: Finishing a basement — Coat before framing; the coating doubles as a moisture barrier.

Your Options

Polyaspartic, Epoxy, or a Hybrid?

Polyaspartic full-flake (recommended for Altoona garages)

— UV-stable, one-day install, flexible at -20°F, resists hot-tire pickup and road salt. H3: Epoxy base + polyaspartic topcoat — Extra build for pitted or older slabs; two-day install. H3: Solid epoxy — Budget option for indoor, low-UV floors; 5–7 day cure.

Built For This Climate

Local Expertise in Altoona

Altoona's newer subdivisions are on engineered fill and need a moisture test before coating; the older core near downtown has settled slabs with typical Iowa salt damage. Altoona's clay soils hold water, which pushes vapor through basement slabs in spring, so basement coatings here get a moisture-mitigating primer more often than average. Commercially, Altoona is one of the metro's warehouse and distribution hubs, and those floors get high-build epoxy, polyurea-filled joints, and forklift-rated specs. → Commercial epoxy
