An epoxy floor coating seals that concrete under a hard, glossy surface that is easy to clean and good looking. Resinate Coatings has been doing resin and epoxy projects in the Cedar Rapids area since 2021, and we are backed by more than 40 years of local outdoor construction experience with concrete, grading and drainage. That background matters, because a floor coating is only as good as the concrete and prep underneath it.
Iowa is hard on floors. Winter brings snow, road salt and melt water that tracks into your garage every day. Spring brings humidity and damp basements. Summer heat makes cheap coatings soften and lift where hot tires sit. We choose products and prep methods that are made for those conditions, and we tell you plainly what your floor needs before any work starts.
Whether you want a clean gray garage floor, a basement that finally feels finished, or a one-of-a-kind metallic floor that looks like marble or ocean water, we can walk you through the options and give you a written estimate.
The most popular upgrade we do. A full-broadcast flake system hides dirt, adds grip and stands up to hot tires, salt and snow melt. Choose from blended color flakes or a solid color with a clear top coat.
Turn a cold, dusty basement into usable living space. We check for moisture first, repair cracks, and install a coating that is easy to clean and bright enough to make the room feel bigger.
Metallic pigments swirl into flowing patterns that look like marble, stone, lava or water. Every metallic floor is unique. They work beautifully in living spaces, bars, man caves, salons and showrooms.
Workshops and pole barns take heavy abuse from tools, equipment, oil and chemicals. A thicker, chemical-resistant system keeps the floor sealed, bright and easy to sweep.
Warehouses, garages, kitchens, gyms and storefronts need floors that are durable and easy to maintain. We can add safety striping, anti-slip texture and brand colors.
Decorative coatings for outdoor concrete, plus custom resin work like bar tops and river tables. Ask us about your idea and we will tell you honestly if it is a good fit.
Concrete is porous. Oil, salt, water and chemicals soak in and slowly break down the surface. A sealed epoxy floor keeps those out, so your slab lasts longer and stays cleaner.
Spills wipe up and dirt sweeps away instead of grinding into the surface. A dust mop and an occasional wash with a mild cleaner are usually all it needs.
A glossy floor reflects light, so garages, basements and shops feel brighter without adding fixtures. Many customers are surprised how much bigger the space feels.
A finished garage or basement floor makes the whole space more useful and more appealing when it is time to sell. It is also just nice to walk into every day.
Not sure what look you want? These floors show a few of the styles that are possible with epoxy and metallic coatings, from clean industrial gray to bold custom art.
Every floor is custom. We will show you color samples before we start.
Colored vinyl flakes are broadcast into the base coat and sealed under a clear top coat. This is the go-to choice for garages because the speckled pattern hides dust, tire marks and small chips, and the texture gives your feet and tires more grip in wet weather.
A solid gray, tan or custom color gives a clean, modern look for basements, shops and commercial spaces. It is simple, bright and easy to keep clean, and it pairs well with safety lines or marked work zones.
Metallic epoxy uses shimmering pigments that are worked by hand into movement and depth. No two floors come out the same. It is the best pick when you want the floor to be the centerpiece of the room.
Epoxy is low maintenance. Sweep or dust mop regularly so grit does not scratch the gloss, and wash with warm water and a mild cleaner when it gets dirty. Wipe up oil, antifreeze and road salt when you notice them. Put pads under kickstands and jack stands, and avoid dragging heavy metal equipment across the surface. With a little care, your floor keeps its shine for years.

Garage floor paint from a big box store is cheap, but it sits on top of the concrete, so it often peels where hot tires park within a year or two. Bare concrete stains and dusts. A professionally installed epoxy system is ground into the surface and built up in layers, so it bonds far better and wears much longer. It costs more than paint up front, but you are not redoing it every few years.
A properly prepped, professionally installed epoxy floor with a durable top coat commonly lasts many years in a home garage. Lifespan depends on the concrete condition, moisture, traffic and upkeep, and we will tell you what to expect for your floor.
Most floors can take light foot traffic after about a day and vehicles after several days. Cure times depend on the product and the temperature, and we give you exact times for your job.
Usually yes. Cracks and pits are repaired and the surface is ground before coating. Stains are removed or covered. Serious structural cracks or active moisture problems are checked first so the new floor does not fail.
A plain high-gloss floor can be slick when wet. Flake broadcast or an anti-slip additive in the top coat adds grip, and we recommend it for garages, entries and steps.
Yes, for heated garages, basements and indoor spaces. Coatings need the right temperature to cure, so unheated spaces are usually scheduled in warmer months.
Price depends on square footage, the condition of the concrete, the system you choose and any design work. A basic garage floor and a custom metallic floor are very different jobs. We give a free, written estimate after seeing your floor.
Tell us a little about your space and we will get back to you, usually within one business day. A photo of the floor helps us give you a faster, more accurate estimate.
No obligation, no pressure. Just honest advice about what your floor needs and what it will take.
