Epoxy Floor & Concrete Coating Contractors in Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Cedar Rapids is Iowa’s second-largest city, built along the Cedar River. The NewBo City Market and Czech Village celebrate the city’s heritage, with the National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library nearby. Brucemore, a historic mansion and estate, and the Grant Wood Studio, where the artist lived and worked, are local treasures, and the Paramount Theatre hosts shows downtown. The smell of oats from the Quaker plant is part of the city’s identity.

Flood Lessons and Iowa Winters

The 2008 flood devastated much of downtown Cedar Rapids, and the city has since rebuilt with flood protections. Low-lying properties still face flood risk, and seamless, non-porous floors make cleanup easier after water events. Winters bring snow, ice, freeze–thaw cycles and road salt, which damage bare concrete. Clay soils hold moisture, and older homes often have basements with vapor issues.

• Garages on older and newer homes
• Basements in older neighborhoods
• Restaurants and breweries in NewBo and Czech Village
• Manufacturing, food processing and aerospace facilities

Food processing and manufacturing facilities need floors that resist chemicals, moisture and heavy traffic, and urethane cement and epoxy are common choices. Homeowners often choose flake garage floors that resist salt and hot tires.

Basements in older homes need moisture testing and the right primer before coating.
