Epoxy Flooring in Inwood, IA

Inwood is one of the younger towns we serve, and that shapes the epoxy flooring we put down here. The 2020 census put its median age at 35.4, and 37.9% of households had children under 18. In homes like that, the garage is a mudroom, a bike shed, a play space and sometimes a home gym. A coated floor makes all of that easier to clean.

What families ask us for

• A floor that hides mess. Our epoxy flake floors use a dense chip blend that hides dust, crumbs and tire marks between cleanings.
• A floor kids can play on. Flake adds texture, and we can add grit to the topcoat where the floor tends to get wet.
• A floor that is quick to get back. A polyaspartic floor coating cures faster than standard epoxy, so the garage is out of use for less time.
• A basement that works as a rec room. Dry basements take basement floor epoxy or a metallic epoxy finish well. We test moisture before we suggest either.

A town that grew between censuses

Inwood's population dropped from 875 in 2000 to 814 in 2010, then climbed to 928 by 2020. Housing units went from 373 to 374 over that last decade. More people in about the same number of homes usually means fuller households and busier garages. It also means many floors here are older concrete that has seen years of salt and wear. We grind every slab, fill cracks and patch pitting before the base coat.

Choosing colors with kids in mind

Mid-tone flake blends in gray, tan or brown hide the most between cleanings. Very dark solids show dust and scuffs. Very light ones show tire marks. We bring a sample board so you can hold chips against your own concrete in the light of your garage before you pick.

Acreages and shops outside town

The farm acreages around Inwood often have a detached shop or machine shed. Those floors take tractor tires, mud and fluids. Our commercial and shop floor epoxy goes on thicker than a garage system and resists oil and hydraulic fluid. A shop floor can also get a flake broadcast for grip near the doors.

Planning around the seasons

Unheated garages and shops are best coated from late spring through early fall, when the slab is warm enough for the coating to cure properly. Basements and heated garages can often be done in the colder months. We check slab temperature and moisture on install day.

Everyday care with a busy household

Keep a push broom and a squeegee near the door. Sweep up sand and gravel before it gets ground in by tires. Wipe up juice, paint and craft spills while they are fresh. Mop now and then with warm water and a mild cleaner. Skip harsh solvents and steel wool, which can dull the topcoat. In spring, rinse off the winter's salt so it does not leave a white film.
