When Central Iowa homeowners search “garage floor coatings Des Moines,” they want results they can trust. CountBricks delivers. Our AI-powered estimating platform turns a quick voice conversation into an exact material list, labor schedule, and cost breakdown, then our residential construction team installs a stunning, durable surface that adds value to any property.
• Boosted home value and curb appeal
• Superior resistance to stains, road salt, and hot-tire pickup
• Easy cleaning with a mop instead of a pressure washer
• Added traction for safer foot and vehicle traffic
• Seamless color and flake options to match your style
Homeowners are bombarded with technical terms. CountBricks simplifies the decision:
1. Epoxy systems: Budget-friendly, excellent adhesion, ideal for low-traffic garages.
2. Polyurea hybrids: Faster cure times, higher flexibility for Midwest freeze-thaw cycles.
3. Polyaspartic topcoats: UV-stable gloss that stays crystal clear and scratch-resistant.
During your AI estimate call, our system weighs slab condition, climate, and usage to recommend the right chemistry automatically.
1. Voice-Driven Estimate: Simply describe your space, and our AI calculates square footage, substrate condition, and material yield in seconds.
2. Concrete Preparation: Mechanical diamond grinding opens the slab’s pores, ensuring a chemical bond 4× stronger than acid etching alone.
3. Moisture Mitigation: Our sensors measure slab vapor. If readings exceed 3 lbs/1,000 sq ft, CountBricks applies a moisture-blocking primer to prevent delamination.
4. Base & Broadcast: A tinted base coat receives decorative vinyl flake to full refusal, giving depth and slip resistance.
5. High-Performance Topcoat: A polyaspartic sealer locks everything in, ready for foot traffic in 4 hours and vehicles in 24.
Traditional contractors build “fudge factors” into bids because prices shift daily. CountBricks syncs with supplier APIs every morning, so your estimate reflects today’s epoxy resin, pigment, and abrasive costs—no surprises on invoice day. View a sample report at CountBricks.com/services.
• Cracks wider than 1/8": We inject a fast-cure polyurea filler, then grind flush.
• Oil-soaked spots: Bio-enzymatic cleaners lift contaminants before coating.
• Heaving or settling: Our team levels uneven slabs with self-leveling cement for a mirror-flat finish.
• Cold weather installs: CountBricks heaters keep slab temperature above 55 °F, ensuring proper cure even in January.
Gray flake blends still rule, but CountBricks designers see growing demand for warm sandstone tones that complement farmhouse exteriors. Metallic marble swirls—once reserved for showrooms—now appear in high-end Ankeny and Waukee garages. Browse inspiration photos at CountBricks.com/portfolio.
• Sweep weekly to remove grit that can dull gloss.
• Use a pH-neutral cleaner and damp mop monthly.
• Place soft rubber mats under kickstands or jacks.
• Reseal every 7-10 years—CountBricks offers discounted refresh packages.
How long does installation take? Most 2-car garages are completed in a single day, thanks to fast-cure chemistry and a three-technician crew.
Will hot tires peel the coating? CountBricks topcoats are rated above 350 °F. Proper prep plus high-temp resin means zero hot-tire pickup.
Is there a warranty? Yes, 15 years against peeling or yellowing for residential use. Details are outlined on CountBricks.com/services.

When the Larson family purchased a 1990s ranch with a 900 sq ft garage, the slab was pitted and oil-stained. They wanted it ready to host graduation parties within two weeks. CountBricks delivered.
• AI estimate generated in 48 seconds during the initial phone call, forecasting 7 gallons of tinted base, 55 lbs of vinyl flake, and 6 gallons of polyaspartic topcoat.
• Concrete grinding removed 1/16" of weak surface paste, exposing solid aggregate for bonding.
• Moisture reading averaged 2.1 lbs—well within spec—so no extra vapor barrier was required, saving the client $450.
• A custom “Cyclone Gray” flake blend matched the Larsons’ Iowa State memorabilia wall.
• Total install time: 9 hours start to finish; vehicle ready in 24 hours.
• Zero hot-tire lift despite daily SUV traffic in summer heat.
• Gloss retention measured at 94% via CountBricks’ annual checkup.
• Simple broom and mop routine keeps the floor looking new—no acid washes required.
Mrs. Larson shared, “We planned a party the next weekend and the garage was honestly the star of the show. CountBricks’ estimate was spot-on—no up-charges, no mess.”
• Schedule installs in the morning so afternoon warmth speeds cure.
• Move refrigerators onto dollies; coated floors can become permanent if heavy appliances sit through cure time.
• Opt for full-flake broadcast; it hides imperfections and adds slip resistance without extra cost in most garages.
