Epoxy Floor & Concrete Coating Contractors in Des Moines, Iowa

Des Moines, Iowa’s capital, is anchored by the gold-domed State Capitol overlooking the East Village, a lively district of shops and restaurants. The Pappajohn Sculpture Park, the Principal Riverwalk along the Des Moines River and Gray’s Lake Park offer outdoor spaces downtown, and the Iowa State Fair draws huge crowds every August. Drake University, the Des Moines Botanical Garden and the Court Avenue entertainment district round out the city.

Capital City Conditions

Des Moines winters bring bitter cold, snow, freeze–thaw cycles and road salt, which damage bare garage floors. Summers are hot and humid with strong storms. The Des Moines and Raccoon rivers have flooded low-lying areas in the past, and older neighborhoods often have basements with moisture issues. Clay soils hold water and can crack slabs.

• Garages on older and newer homes
• Basements in historic neighborhoods like Sherman Hill and Beaverdale
• Restaurants, bars and breweries in the East Village and downtown
• Warehouses, insurance offices and commercial floors

Older homes in Des Moines’ historic neighborhoods often have basements that need moisture testing and careful preparation. Restaurants and breweries need seamless, slip-resistant floors that handle moisture and frequent cleaning.

Homeowners often choose flake garage floors with polyaspartic topcoats that resist salt, hot tires and UV.

Warehouses and commercial buildings need durable floors that resist heavy traffic and chemicals.
