We hear these questions all the time:
“How much per square foot?”
“What’s a 2-car garage run?”
“Can I get a ballpark?”
We totally get it—budget matters. But in Iowa, every slab tells a different story, and our climate adds a few chapters of its own. The best way to get an accurate number is a quick 15–30 minute visit from a friendly Revival Concrete Coatings floor design specialist. You’ll get a clear, written quote that’s good for 6 months—no pressure, no surprises.
Planning ahead? We offer Wisetack financing with options that fit most budgets—like 3 months with ZERO interest, or longer-term plans. (Financing can influence total project cost; details are on our Financing page.)
Why Quoting “Per Square Foot” is Difficult in Iowa
Square footage is only part of the story. Freeze–thaw cycles, road salt in winter, summer UV on patios, moisture during heavy rains, and the way you use the space all change what it takes to prep and protect your concrete. A quick on-site assessment lets us measure accurately, evaluate the slab, and build a scope around your floor. See our guide below to see what impacts pricing and what our customers have to say about our pricing and craftsmanship.
| Factor ↕ | Iowa Realities ↕ | How It Can Change Scope ↕ |
|---|---|---|
|
1) Size & Layout
|
Bigger areas require more labor and materials—but layout matters too. Stairs, stem walls, drains, alcoves, and shop thresholds add detail work common in Iowa garages, mudrooms, and farm shops. | More masking, edging, joint detail, and time on site for complex footprints or verticals. |
|
2) Concrete Condition
|
Cracks, pitting, spalls, heaving, and old stains are often intensified by freeze–thaw. Lasting results start with professional grinding, crack repair, and surface restoration. | Heavier repairs or moisture mitigation add steps—and protect your investment. |
|
3) Existing Coatings or Sealers
|
Old paint, DIY epoxy, or penetrating sealers must be properly removed so the new coating can bond. | Coating removal and re-profiling are meticulous but essential for durability. |
|
4) Environment & Use
|

|
Scope adapts to loads, exposure, safety/traction, and day-to-day cleaning realities. |
|
5) Moisture Dynamics
|
Spring rains, sump activity, and humidity levels affect prep and may require vapor treatments. | Addressing moisture upfront avoids failures later and can adjust cure windows. |
|
6) Design & Safety Choices
|
Decorative chip blends, solid colors, borders, logos, and traction levels all influence scope. | Custom looks and added grip affect materials, steps, and install time. |
|
7) Edges, Steps & Details
|
Coating steps, verticals, control joints, drains, and transitions takes extra craftsmanship and time. | Precision work for a seamless finish increases hands-on install time. |
|
8) Access & Logistics
|
Clearing the space, moving appliances or shop tools, masking around posts/landscaping, and working in tight garages or walkouts can affect the schedule and scope. | Setup, protection, and site constraints influence day count and crew plan. |
|
9) Season & Scheduling
|
Iowa’s temperature swings and your target timeline can influence crew scheduling, cure windows, and the number of days on site. | Peak seasons and weather windows may adjust start dates or daily sequencing. |
|
10) Warranty & Prep Level
|
Quality prep and repair—done right—are the foundation of a long-lasting floor. | Investing in thorough prep reduces callbacks and keeps your floor looking great for years. |
