When To Call

When Johnston Homeowners Call Us

Johnston homeowners call about salt pitting at the garage door in the established neighborhoods, peeling DIY epoxy, and finished basements in the walk-outs near Saylorville. We also coat a lot of boat-and-toy garages for the lake crowd.

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 Johnston 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

Johnston Floor Coating Questions

Can you coat a garage that stores a boat and trailer in Johnston?
Yes. A full-flake polyaspartic floor handles trailer jacks, lake water, and salt. We can add extra anti-slip aggregate for wet-floor traction.
Do you coat the basements in Johnston's walk-out homes?
Yes. Walk-outs near Saylorville often test high for moisture on the uphill side; we test and prime accordingly.
How long does a garage floor coating last in Johnston?
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 Johnston?
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 Johnston

Johnston's older core sits on settled ground, and those 1970s–90s garages have the classic Iowa salt scaling. The newer areas north along NW 70th Avenue and toward the Saylorville reservoir are built on more varied ground, some of it fill, and moisture readings run higher there in spring. Commercial work in Johnston centers on the Merle Hay Road corridor, the Johnston Town Center area, and the office parks near I-35/80, including a lot of light-industrial and service-bay floors.

Colin Coatings Des Moines installs garage floor coatings, epoxy flooring, polyaspartic floor coatings, basement floor coatings, and commercial floor coatings in Johnston, Iowa, and throughout the Des Moines metro. Owner Jose Colin brings more than 20 years of Central Iowa concrete experience to every floor. Reach Colin Coatings at (515) 320-8883 or colincoatingsdesmoines.com.
