Garage Floor Coating Ankeny, IA
Ankeny is the fastest-growing city in Iowa, and half the garages we coat here are less than three years old. New slabs in Prairie Trail, The District, and the subdivisions pushing north past NE 36th Street need a moisture test and a 28-day cure before they're coated, and the older ranches near Uptown Ankeny need pitting and crack repair first. We handle both every week.
Colin Coatings Des Moines installs polyaspartic and epoxy floor coatings for garages, basements, shops, and commercial floors in Ankeny. Every floor is diamond-ground, moisture-tested, and finished with a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat rated for Iowa winters.

When To Call
When Ankeny Homeowners Call Us
Ankeny's mix of brand-new construction and 1970s–90s neighborhoods means we see two very different floors. In the new subdivisions, homeowners want the garage coated before they move the boxes in, and the question is whether the slab has cured and dried enough. In established areas near Ankeny High School, Sunrise Park, and the Ankeny Market & Pavilion district, the garage floors are 30 to 50 years old with salt scaling at the door and a peeling DIY kit from a previous owner.
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 Ankeny 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 Ankeny
Ankeny covers a big stretch of northern Polk County, and the ground under its garages varies by neighborhood age. Established areas around Uptown and Ankeny's original grid have settled, predictable slabs, usually with decades of salt damage on the surface. The newer developments north and west, from Prairie Trail out toward Saylorville, are built on engineered fill that's still releasing moisture, which is why a moisture test is non-negotiable there.
Ankeny also has a serious commercial side. We coat shop and warehouse floors along the Delaware Avenue and SE Oralabor Road corridors and in the industrial parks near the DMACC campus, and the spec for those floors is the same as it is for a homeowner's 3-car garage in The District: grind it, test it, repair it, and topcoat it with polyaspartic.
