Why Polyaspartic Garage Coatings Beat Epoxy Every Time

Why I Recommend Polyaspartic Polyurea Garage Floor Coatings Every Time

By Kyle Kelly, Kelly Designs in Concrete

Let’s Talk Garage Floors. Yours Probably Needs Help.

I’ve seen a lot of garage floors over the years—cracks, stains, peeling epoxy, floors that looked decent for about six months and then went downhill fast. Kelly Designs in Concrete has been in the concrete business for over 40 years, and when we tell you polyaspartic polyurea is the best option for garage floor coatings, it’s not because we read it in a brochure. It’s because we’ve installed just about everything under the sun, and this stuff wins. Every time.

So, What Is Polyaspartic Polyurea Anyway?

In short, it’s a high-performance coating that bonds tighter than epoxy, cures faster, and shrugs off Iowa’s harsh winters like it’s nothing.

Here’s why I use it:

• It’s tough — as in, drop-an-engine-on-it tough.
• It cures in a day — back on your floor in 24 hours.
• It holds up — no yellowing, no peeling, no B.S.

This isn’t the same product big-box stores are pushing. This is professional-grade, and it’s how we turn your garage into something you’ll actually want to show off.

Why We Ditched Epoxy (and You Should Too)

I know, epoxy sounds great until:

• It chips
• It peels
• It takes forever to cure
• It hates cold weather (kind of a problem here in Iowa)

Polyaspartic coatings fix all of that. And when we install them the right way—with proper surface prep and a team that knows what they’re doing—they outperform anything else on the market.

Davenport Weather Doesn’t Stand a Chance

Iowa isn’t easy on concrete:

• Salt eats at it.
• Freeze-thaw cycles crack it.
• Moisture seeps in.

Polyaspartic polyurea doesn’t care. It resists salt, flexes with temperature swings, and keeps water out. It even looks good doing it—glossy, clean, and built to last.

Real Feedback From Real Clients

“Our garage floor looks amazing. Kyle and the crew knocked it out in one day, and a year later, it still looks brand new.” – Mike from Bettendorf

“Had epoxy installed years ago by another company—it peeled. Kyle’s polyaspartic coating hasn’t budged. Wish I would’ve called him first.” – Sarah from Davenport

Common Questions I Hear All the Time

Is it slippery?
We add a grit additive to keep it slip-resistant. You won’t be skating around in your socks—unless you want to.

How long will it last?
You’re looking at 15–20 years, maybe longer with proper care.

Can you install it in the winter?
Yep. That’s one of the biggest perks—it cures even when it’s freezing out.

Here’s the Bottom Line

If you want a garage floor that actually does what it’s supposed to—resists salt, won’t peel, looks sharp, and doesn’t require babysitting—go polyaspartic.

And if you want it done right, call me and my team at Kelly Designs in Concrete.
