About Iowa City Epoxy Flooring

Iowa City Epoxy Flooring is an epoxy flooring company in Iowa City, IA, with more than twenty years of experience grinding, repairing and coating concrete floors. We work in garages, basements, shops, plants, offices and commercial kitchens, and we have learned on those floors that most coating failures begin underneath the coating, in moisture, contamination or a surface that was never properly prepared.

That lesson shapes everything about how we work. We would rather spend an extra day on the slab than come back in a year to a floor that is peeling at the tire tracks or blistering over a damp spot. And we would rather tell a customer that a slab needs repair, or should not be coated at all, than sell a floor we do not expect to last.

Our customers range from homeowners with a two-car garage to landlords turning over rental basements and plant managers who need a floor finished over a weekend. The scale changes, but the questions we ask about the concrete stay the same.

Our Approach

Every floor we coat is opened with a diamond grinder or shot blaster, never an acid etch, so the coating has a real surface to hold. Before a price is final, the slab is tested for moisture, whether it sits in a century-old basement or a garage poured a few years ago. Cracks, spalls and old coatings are mapped first, and the written proposal names the product line, the number of coats and the finished thickness, so you can check the floor you receive against the floor you were quoted.

We explain what a coating warranty leaves out before the job is sold, starting with moisture from below the slab. We schedule cures by slab temperature and dew point rather than by the calendar, choose garage systems for the salt and brine of an eastern Iowa winter, and capture grinding dust at the machine instead of washing it toward a drain. A floor coating is never sold as radon work or waterproofing, and low-odor products are offered as a comfort choice, not as a legal requirement.

What We Do

We install epoxy garage floors, flake and metallic epoxy floors, polyaspartic coatings, basement floor epoxy, polished concrete, and commercial, industrial, ESD and commercial kitchen flooring, along with the concrete grinding and floor repair that every good floor starts with. If you have a floor in Iowa City or a nearby town that needs attention, request a free estimate and we will come look at the slab, test it and put a clear, itemized proposal in your hands.
