Garage Floor Coating Clive, IA

Clive, Iowa · Free Estimates · Most Garages Done in 1 Day

Clive is a long, narrow city along the Greenbelt, and its garages split cleanly: 1960s–80s slabs with decades of salt damage in the older east side near 86th Street and Hickman, and newer construction out west past NW 128th into Dallas County. We repair and coat both, most in one day.

Colin Coatings Des Moines installs polyaspartic and epoxy floor coatings for garages, basements, shops, and commercial floors in Clive. Every floor is diamond-ground, moisture-tested, and finished with a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat rated for Iowa winters.

When To Call

When Clive Homeowners Call Us

Clive calls are mostly older-garage calls: scaling at the door, a sunken apron, a peeling paint-store epoxy, or a homeowner finishing the lower level of a split-level and wanting a floor that survives a damp spring.

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 Clive 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.

Frequently Asked

Clive Floor Coating Questions

My Clive garage apron has sunk below the slab. Can you fix that before coating?
Depending on the drop, we can grind a transition or, for larger settlement, replace the apron through Colin Concrete before coating.
Do you work in Clive townhomes and condos?
Yes. We coat single-stall and tandem garages and coordinate with HOAs when needed.
How long does a garage floor coating last in Clive?
A professionally installed polyaspartic flake floor lasts 15 to 20+ years in Iowa. The 2-to-3-year failures are DIY kits and acid-etched floors.
Can you coat a garage in winter in Clive?
Yes. Polyaspartic installs well below freezing; we heat unheated garages on the coldest days.
Do I need to empty the garage?
Yes, completely, from the morning of the install until you can park 24 to 48 hours later.

Built For This Climate

Local Expertise in Clive

East Clive's slabs are old and settled; the work is surface repair and a coating with enough build to hide it, usually an epoxy base with a polyaspartic top. West Clive's newer homes along University and Country Club are on fresher slabs where the moisture test drives the spec. Clive also has a dense commercial strip along University Avenue and NW 86th, and we coat service bays, showrooms, and back-of-house floors there on nights and weekends.
