Apply Epoxy Floors Built to Last
Every floor gets full white-out diamond grinding and a two-coat topcoat system applied evenly.
Install Epoxy Floors Ground Right Every Time
Full white-out diamond grinding on every install across Cedar Rapids
RamRock Coatings grinds full white-out on every epoxy floor regardless of foot traffic, using diamond grinders all the way to the wall and skipping acid etching entirely. Friends and family run the crews in-house, which means everyone on-site takes pride in the work and no one cuts corners. You're getting a preparation-first approach designed to outlast competitors who skip-grind low-traffic zones or rush surface prep.
When you're evaluating epoxy for your garage, basement, or commercial shop, you need to know the coating will bond correctly and handle real-world conditions. RamRock explains every step before work starts, tests moisture on basement jobs, and applies full flake broadcast to full rejection on every install to ensure complete coverage.
The result is an epoxy floor system built on more prep work than most installers are willing to do, backed by crews who've been running these jobs together across Eastern Iowa for years. RamRock Coatings serves the Corridor market, including Des Moines, Iowa City, and Waterloo, with the same detail-driven process on every floor.

Preparation and Process Stages
Full diamond grinding to bare concrete forms the foundation of every RamRock epoxy install, with hand grinders used along walls to eliminate the cut corners that acid etching and skip-grinding leave behind. Moisture vapor barrier systems run on all basement floors, moisture testing happens before every coating application, and the two-coat topcoat system gets applied evenly to prevent irregularities. You'll know what's being done, why it matters, and how long each stage will take before the crew arrives.
RamRock's approach builds predictability into the timeline and the finish — you won't see partial flake coverage, uneven topcoats, or prep shortcuts that show up as failure points years later. The crew walks you through surface assessment, explains the grind and broadcast stages, and confirms moisture readings so there's no guesswork about whether your floor is ready for epoxy.
This preparation-obsessed process supports a range of epoxy applications across residential and commercial settings:
Full flake systems with complete broadcast coverage and no partial shortcuts
Solid-color coatings installed over fully prepped concrete for clean, uniform finishes
Metallic and marble finishes backed by regional proof — the only installer searchable for this work when Cedar Rapids needed it
Basement and garage floors across the Corridor tested for moisture and ground to specification

Locally Owned and Detail-Driven
RamRock Coatings is friends and family run, which means the crews doing the grinding, moisture testing, and coating are the same people who built the company's reputation for doing more prep than competitors across Cedar Rapids and Eastern Iowa. Every installer is in-house, trained on the same preparation-first standards, and accountable for the floors they finish.
That accountability shows up in the grind quality, the flake broadcast density, and the topcoat evenness — details that separate floors installed right from floors installed fast. RamRock doesn't hire outside contractors or rush surface prep to hit a schedule, and the crew won't move to the next stage until the concrete is ready for epoxy.
