Garage epoxy & finishing · Provo, UT
Provo's building code rates the weather here as severe, with a 30 inch frost line. All winter, salty slush rides into your garage on the tires and melts on the slab. We prep and coat Provo garage floors so that mess wipes up, and Dakota prices the job in writing first.
Provo garage floors
UDOT spreads roughly 236,000 tons of salt a year on Utah's state roads. The concrete industry's own guide says slabs that freeze and thaw with water and deicing salt on them are prone to scaling, which is the flaking you see near the garage door.
Age plays a part too. The median Provo home was built in 1983, per the Census, so many garage slabs here are past 40. Older floors often come with oil stains, old sealers, patches and cracks. All of that has to be ground off or fixed before any coating will hold.
Here is some good news. Provo says ordinary cosmetic finish work generally does not need a building permit, and an epoxy floor on an existing slab is finish work. If you also want new outlets or a heater out there, that part is electrical work and may need its own permit.
"Remarkable work. Outstanding sub-contractors. Any concerns I had were addressed promptly and professionally. A special request for epoxy flooring to be installed 24 inches up the wall worked perfectly. Do not hesitate to hire for any level of remodel."

A hard, glossy floor that wipes clean and shrugs off oil, drips, and daily wear. A great value for most Provo garages.
Dries fast, so you can park sooner. Handles hot tires and the sun a little better, and it stands up to Provo winters.
We grind the concrete and fill the cracks first. On older Provo garages, that prep is what keeps a coating from peeling.
Finish the walls and ceiling, add insulation, and paint it clean. Your garage stops feeling like a cold box.
Built-in shelves, a workbench, and smart storage so tools and gear have a home and the floor stays clear.
Brighter lights and clean trim that pull the space together, so the garage looks finished, not bare.

Built for Provo winters
These facts come from the City of Provo, UDOT reporting and the concrete industry. They are why we spend more time on prep than on the pretty part.
Provo's structural design table lists weathering as severe and the frost line at 30 inches. That means real freeze and thaw cycles on any slab the weather can reach.
Utah uses about 236,000 tons of road salt a year on state roads. Industry guidance says deicing salts on frozen, wet concrete cause scaling. A sealed floor lets you squeegee that melt out instead of letting it soak in.
Provo lists high groundwater among the site conditions that can affect a project. Moisture coming up through a slab can lift a coating, so we check the floor before we pick a system.
The concrete industry says not to use calcium or sodium chloride deicers in a slab's first year. If you just poured a new Provo garage, keep salt off it and hose it down, and we will plan the coating around its age.
"He knows what he is doing, shows up when he says he will, and his pricing is very fair. I refer him to numerous clients and have for years."
