Garage Floor Coating Urbandale, IA
Urbandale garages are some of the most salt-damaged floors we see in the metro. The ranches and split-levels built from the 1960s through the 1980s east of 86th Street have 40 to 60 winters of magnesium-chloride brine on the slab, and the pitting at the garage door is the first thing homeowners point to. We repair it, grind it, and bury it under a full-flake polyaspartic floor. Out west, past 128th Street into Dallas County, the garages are new and the job is a moisture test and a one-day install.
Colin Coatings Des Moines installs polyaspartic and epoxy floor coatings for garages, basements, shops, and commercial floors in Urbandale. Every floor is diamond-ground, moisture-tested, and finished with a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat rated for Iowa winters.

When To Call
When Urbandale Homeowners Call Us
The typical Urbandale call starts with "the concrete by the garage door is flaking away." That's salt scaling, and it gets worse every winter until the surface is sealed. The second most common call is a peeling epoxy kit from a previous owner, and the third is a homeowner finishing the lower level of a split-level who wants a real floor over a slab that gets damp in April.
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?
Epoxy base + polyaspartic topcoat (recommended for older Urbandale garages)
— The thicker epoxy base fills pitting and repairs; the polyaspartic topcoat handles UV and hot tires. Two-day install. H3: Polyaspartic full-flake — One-day install for newer or sound slabs. H3: Solid epoxy — Budget option for indoor, low-UV floors; 5–7 day cure.

Built For This Climate
Local Expertise in Urbandale
Urbandale grew west in waves, and each wave left a different kind of garage. The neighborhoods east of 86th Street around Merle Hay and Douglas were built in the 1960s and 70s on settled ground with concrete mixes that were never air-entrained for road salt; that's where the scaling is worst. The 1980s and 90s subdivisions between 86th and 128th are a mix. West of 128th, along Meredith Drive and into the Dallas County annexations, the slabs are new and the issue is moisture, not damage.
Urbandale's commercial corridors keep us busy too: dealerships and service bays along Merle Hay Road and Hickman, and light-industrial and office space in the Urbandale business parks. Same spec for all of it: grind, test, repair, polyaspartic topcoat.
