Epoxy Flooring in Farr West, UT

Most epoxy flooring jobs we see in Farr West start in a garage that is less than 25 years old. The city had 3,094 residents in 2000 and 5,928 by 2010, according to Census figures on Wikipedia. By 2020 it reached 7,691, a 29.7% jump in ten years. Those people needed houses, and the houses came with attached garages poured on what had been pasture and cropland on the north edge of Weber County.

Why a new slab still needs prep

A newer garage floor looks clean, so many owners expect a coating to go straight on. Fresh concrete is usually finished with a steel trowel, which leaves a dense, slick surface. Builders also tend to spray a curing compound or a light sealer. A coating laid over that surface has very little to grip. We diamond-grind the entire floor to open the pores and remove the cure layer. That step is the same on a 2018 slab as on a 1960 slab. Only the time it takes changes.

New floors also have control joints cut at set intervals. We decide with you whether to fill the joints flush or keep them as clean lines in the finish. Hairline shrinkage cracks are common in the first few years and get filled before the base coat.

Households full of kids and gear

The 2020 census counted 2,371 households in Farr West, and 44.3% had children under 18. That shows up in the garages. They hold bikes, strollers, sports bags, freezers and the family cars, often all at once. A floor in a house like that takes a beating from kickstands, dropped tools and wet shoes. It also needs to be easy to hose off in spring.

For these garages we usually suggest:

• Flake epoxy floors with a full or heavy broadcast, which hide dirt, scuffs and the odd chip between cleanings
• Polyaspartic topcoats that resist hot-tire marks and stay clear near a west-facing open door
• A textured finish so wet floors are less slick for kids coming in from the yard

Tight schedules and fast cure times

Families with full calendars do not want the garage out of service for a week. Polyaspartic systems cure faster than standard epoxy, so the cars can often come back sooner. We give you written walk-on and park-on times for your floor before work begins. That way you can plan where the vehicles and the deep freezer will sit for a day or two.

Basements in new Farr West homes

Many newer houses here have unfinished or partly finished basements. Owners often coat the slab before framing a gym, playroom or storage room. A coated floor is easier to keep clean and brightens a room with small windows. We check moisture first. Basement floor epoxy only goes down when the slab is dry enough for it, and we tell you if it is not.

Shops behind the house

Farr West still has some larger lots and outbuildings left over from its farm years. A detached shop that holds a tractor, a boat or a project truck needs a heavier build than a home garage. Our shop and warehouse floor epoxy uses a thicker system that stands up to jacks, stands and spilled fluids.

What happens at the estimate

We come to the house, measure the floor and look at the joints, cracks and any sealer. We ask how you use the space and talk through flake colors or a solid finish. Then you get one written number that lists the prep, each coat and the total. Call (385) 494-4061 or
