Learn More About the Coatings We Offer at Precision.
Applying a high-quality coating to your residential or commercial roof will extend its lifespan, prevent leaks, and enhance energy efficiency. That’s especially true in central Iowa, where rapid fluctuations in temperature and severe weather put high-stress levels on our homes and buildings.
Whether you’re a single-family homeowner or a large business, Precision Insulation and Coatings in Des Moines will work with you to determine the best coating based on your roof type, its condition, and the benefits you’re looking for. Here are the types of coatings we apply and their major uses.


Acrylic elastomeric coatings are known for their affordability, flexibility, and their ease of application. Made from a durable plastic that’s resistant to water and ultraviolet rays, they are also breathable and flexible, meaning they expand and contract as Midwestern temperatures fluctuate.

Polyurea coating is a type of high-performance coating known for its exceptional durability, resistance to weather and chemicals, and fast curing time — often just a few seconds — meaning it’s quick to apply. Because of this, it’s typically applied using specialized spray equipment due to the need for precise mixing of the components.

Silicone coatings are a popular choice for both residential and commercial roofs due to their great mix of value and durability. They are resistant to water, ultraviolet radiation, weathering, and many chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and solvents. Although more expensive than acrylic coatings, their durability and long lifespan make them a great value for the price.

Intumescent coatings are specialized protective coatings that expand significantly when exposed to high temperatures, forming an insulating char layer that provides fire resistance. These coatings are designed to protect wooden and steel structural elements in commercial and industrial buildings.
At Precision Insulation & Coatings, we’re locally owned and operated and want to be your partner in protecting your roof from the harsh elements of the Midwest. Here’s why we should be your first choice for coating services in Des Moines:

EXCELLENT Based on 52 reviews Posted on Google Julia Roberts McMahonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott was phenomenal to work with . Quick, clean, professional work and reasonably priced! I am so glad he was recommended to mePosted on Google Jennifer WhiteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I moved into a new construction home on November 1st. We were not part of the building process; it was a quick move. We realized shortly after moving in that the garage was not insulated. I made some contacts with various insulation companies and Scott Todd was the only one that got back with me and assured me he could get the job done in a couple weeks. Scott stuck to his promise and did a great job. What stands out in my mind the most was how polite, honest and hard working Scott is. I’d definitely recommend his service for your insulation needs.Posted on Google Andrew OswaldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott was great to work with! The came and insulated my shop's attic space and it's done a great job retaining heat!Posted on Google Max MorrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott and crew did an excellent job of insulating the attic above our garage. We are more than satisfied with his work, and would happily recommend him to others.Posted on Google Gregg GossTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I discovered Precision while scrolling through FB. I’m very happy that I did. Scott arrived at my home within hours- not days, to discuss our insulation project. He provided me with some thoughtful education and advice prior to my decision. In the end, they did a great job and I would gladly use Precision again and highly recommend.Posted on Google Tanner LynchTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very knowledgeable and seems really passionate about what he does.Posted on Google Mike HughesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We wanted our garage to maintain a decent temperature during the winters and realized our ceiling was not insulated and heat was escaping as it was onlydrywall screwed into the rafters. Scott, the owner over and gave us several options as how to make it hold the heat in the garage along withadding some more structural stability to the rafters. Here are the options he gave us 1. R49 blown fiberglass 2. Spay foam 2" closed cell foam 3.. Both 1 & 2 blown fiberglass over the cell foam What I really liked about these options is how he said Why don't we start with one and go with the closed cell foam first. Let's see how that works and if you're satisfied we won't need to do anything else. If it's still not holding the heat you want then could come back and put some blown-in fiberglass on top. So far the heater that's set in the garage is set at 50° and it runs 5 minutes every hour where it used to run 5 minutes every 15 minutes in an hour. Note: before we had the insulation installed We also installed green hinges on our garage doors that make our doors air tight because they're spring-loaded. I would highly recommend Scott and Precision insulation and heating if you're looking for an honest, responsive owner who won't oversell you and is reasonably priced and extremely professional. Here are a few pictures of before and after.Posted on Google Cory RiglerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott and his crew did an amazing job insulating our attic and the area above our garage using spray foam and blown-in fiberglass. We had plumbing above the garage that would slow down on extremely cold days, along with a few cold spots in the ceiling caused by gaps from poor original installation by the home builder. Since the work was done, those issues are completely resolved. The difference is noticeable, and we honestly wish we had done this sooner. I would highly recommend Scott and his company to anyone looking for high-quality insulation work.Posted on Google Kenneth KingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Precision Insulation out to inspect my attic and evaluate temperature issues in my home. Their technician was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and honest. He used thermal imaging to show exactly where heat loss was occurring and explained everything in a clear, straightforward way that actually made sense. What I appreciated most is that he didn’t try to upsell anything or push unnecessary work. His recommendations were practical and realistic for my situation, and the findings aligned perfectly with what I was experiencing in my home. It’s rare to find a contractor who takes the time to educate you, answers every question, and is genuinely focused on what’s best for the homeowner. Highly recommend Precision for insulation evaluations and honest expertise. I felt confident and informed after the inspection, which is exactly what you want when dealing with home performance issues.Posted on Google Brian SchwartzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
