Why Iowa City Homeowners Choose Roder Epoxy for Garage Floor Coatings
Homeowners choose Roder Epoxy over DIY kits and one-day installers because our two-day installation delivers superior:

- Thickness
- Durability
- Slip resistance
- UV stability
- Long-term value
Each floor is installed using industrial equipment, premium coatings, and detailed surface repair—not rushed production methods.
Our Two-Day Full Flake Garage Floor Coatings System in Iowa City, IA
-
Step 1: Concrete Grinding & Profiling for Adhesion
We mechanically grind the concrete using industrial diamond grinders. This removes surface contaminants and opens the pores of the slab. Grinding creates the proper mechanical profile needed for maximum adhesion. Skipping this step often leads to early coating failure, which is why many one-day systems fail.
-
Step 2: Crack Repair, Joint Work & Surface Patching
We repair cracks, pits, spalling, and damaged joints before coating. This creates a smooth, reinforced surface that supports long-term durability. Competitors often skip this step because it takes time, but it’s essential for a premium finish.
-
Step 3: Thick 100% Solids Epoxy Base Coat Application
We apply a thick, 100% solids epoxy base coat that soaks deeply into the concrete. This base layer creates excellent adhesion and forms the structural foundation of the entire system. The added thickness greatly improves durability and lifespan compared to thin, fast-dry coatings.
-
Step 4: Full Broadcast-to-Rejection Using Resin-Based Vinyl/Acrylic Flakes
We broadcast resin-based flakes across the entire surface until the floor cannot hold any more. This “broadcast to rejection” method ensures full coverage, color consistency, texture, and slip resistance. It produces a more durable and visually appealing finish than partial flake systems.
-
Step 5: Next-Day Flake Recovery & Smoothing
Once the coating cures, we scrape and vacuum the entire floor to remove loose flakes. This step smooths the texture and prepares the surface for the topcoat. It ensures the final finish is even, clean, and ready for long-term protection.
-
Step 6: Polyaspartic Topcoat for Long-Term Protection
We apply a premium, UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat as the final layer. This coating adds gloss, scratch resistance, UV stability, and chemical protection. Epoxy creates the foundation of the system, and polyaspartic provides the long-term shield.
Roder Epoxy vs. Speed-Coat One-Day Garage Floor Coating Companies in Iowa City
Roder Epoxy (Two-Day System)
- Thick 100% solids epoxy base layer
