Garage Floor Coating West Des Moines, IA

West Des Moines runs from the 1900s bungalows of Valley Junction to the new 3- and 4-car garages going up west of Jordan Creek in Dallas County, and the floors are as different as the houses. Older garages near Valley Junction and Ashworth Road need spalling repair and a full-flake system that hides it; the new builds around Jordan Creek Town Center, Woodland Hills, and Booneville Road need a moisture test before anything goes down. We coat both, most in a single day.

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

When To Call

When West Des Moines Homeowners Call Us

West Des Moines homeowners tend to call for one of three reasons: a builder-grade sealed slab in a newer home that's already staining and dusting; a garage in an older neighborhood where a hardware-store epoxy kit lifted after the first summer of hot tires; or a finished lower level where they want a real floor instead of carpet over a slab that gets damp every 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 West Des Moines 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: Metallic epoxy with polyaspartic topcoat — For show garages and finished basements.

Frequently Asked

West Des Moines Floor Coating Questions

Can you coat the garage floor in an older Valley Junction home?
Yes. Those slabs are often 60 to 100 years old, sometimes with a previous overlay. We inspect for soundness, repair spalling and cracks, grind, and install a full-flake system that hides the repairs. If the slab has failed structurally, we'll tell you and can replace it through Colin Concrete.
Do you do HOA-friendly colors?
Yes. Neutral flake blends (Tuxedo, Gravel, Domino, Slate) suit most West Des Moines HOA guidelines, and the coating is inside the garage anyway. We bring sample boards.
How long does a garage floor coating last in West Des Moines?
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 West Des Moines?
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 West Des Moines

West Des Moines straddles Polk and Dallas counties, and the slab under your garage depends on which side you're on. East of I-35, in Valley Junction, Westwood, and the neighborhoods around Valley High School, the ground is settled and the concrete is old; the work is surface repair and a coating thick enough to hide it. West of I-35, in Jordan Creek, Woodland Hills, and the new phases along Grand Prairie Parkway, the slabs are new, the fill is still consolidating, and moisture readings run high in spring. We spec the primer to the reading.

West Des Moines is also our biggest commercial market. Auto dealerships along University and Hickman, retail at Jordan Creek and West Glen, and offices along Mills Civic Parkway all get the same commercial spec: high-build epoxy or polyaspartic, polyurea-filled joints, and off-hours installs so the business stays open.

Colin Coatings Des Moines installs garage floor coatings, epoxy flooring, polyaspartic floor coatings, basement floor coatings, and commercial floor coatings in West Des Moines, 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.
