Garage Floor Coating Grimes, IA

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

Grimes is one of the fastest-growing cities in Dallas and Polk counties, and nearly every garage we coat here is on a new slab in the subdivisions off Highway 141 and NW 100th Street. New concrete means a 28-day cure and a moisture test before coating, and we coordinate both with your builder.

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

When To Call

When Grimes Homeowners Call Us

Grimes calls are new-construction calls: coat the 3-car garage before move-in, coat the walk-out basement before framing, or fix a builder-referred coating that peeled. The older core near the Grimes Community Complex has a smaller share of established slabs with salt damage.

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 Grimes 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

Grimes Floor Coating Questions

Can you coat a hobby shop with a car lift in Grimes?
Yes. We spec extra build under lift posts and add polyurea-filled joints. → Shop floors
How soon after closing can a Grimes garage be coated?
Typically 4 to 8 weeks after the slab was poured, after a moisture test.
How long does a garage floor coating last in Grimes?
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 Grimes?
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 Grimes

Grimes slabs are young and often on fill, so moisture readings run high in the first year. We test every floor and prime for the reading. Grimes homes also skew toward 3- and 4-car garages and dedicated hobby-shop bays, which get a higher-build spec for lifts and equipment. The Highway 141 corridor and the industrial park along SE 37th Street give us shop, warehouse, and ag-equipment floors as well.
