A diamond-ground, full-flake polyaspartic floor that shrugs off road salt, snowmelt, hot tires and dropped tools — installed by the same owner-run crew behind SwiftHand Painting. Priced online in minutes or in person for free.
A garage floor in northern Utah has a harder life than almost any floor in the house. From November through March it takes a daily dose of magnesium chloride brine off I-15, Bangerter and the canyon roads, then freezes and thaws again overnight. Bare concrete absorbs that salt, pits, dusts and eventually spalls. A DIY epoxy kit from the hardware store sits on top of the slab instead of bonding into it, so the first hot tire in July peels it up in strips.
SwiftHand Concrete Coatings installs the system that actually holds: we grind the slab with diamond tooling to open the pores, repair every crack and pit, then lay down a pigmented polyurea base coat, a full broadcast of vinyl flake, and a clear UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat. The result is a seamless, easy-to-sweep surface that looks like a showroom and behaves like a workshop floor.
We're the sister company of SwiftHand Painting, run by the same owner, Spencer Heyward, with the same rule: no sleazy sales pitch, a written price up front, and workmanship clean enough that the guarantee never gets used.
The topcoat is non-porous, so brine and slush sit on the surface until you squeegee them out the door. No more white salt bloom or pitting along the tire lines.
Polyaspartic stays bonded through summer tire temperatures that soften cheap epoxy. Hot-tire pickup is covered under our warranty.
Epoxy yellows in sunlight; polyaspartic is UV-stable. A west-facing garage with the door open all afternoon looks the same in year ten as on day one.
Bare concrete sheds fine dust that gets tracked inside. A sealed floor sweeps clean and wipes up oil, coolant and paint with a rag.
The flake texture and a light anti-slip additive in the topcoat give real grip when you walk in with snowy boots.
Most garages are coated in one day. You can walk on it that evening and park on it in about 48 hours — not the week an epoxy floor needs.
| Layer | What it does |
|---|---|
| Diamond-ground concrete | Opens the slab's pores to a CSP-2/3 profile so the base coat locks in mechanically. Acid etching can't do this, which is why etched floors peel. |
| Polyurea joint & crack fill | Flexible mender fills cracks, pits and spalls and stays put through freeze-thaw movement. |
| Pigmented polyurea base coat | Wets deep into the ground concrete and carries the base color under the flake. |
| Vinyl flake, broadcast to rejection | Full coverage — you never see base coat between chips. Choose from our northern Utah blends. |
| Clear polyaspartic topcoat | UV-stable, chemical-resistant, abrasion-resistant wear layer with an anti-slip additive. |
Every SwiftHand floor follows the same sequence. Skipping a step is how coatings fail, so we don't.

We grind the concrete with dust-controlled diamond grinders to open the pores. Never acid etching, which is why our floors don't peel.
Cracks, pits, spalls and control joints are filled with polyurea joint filler and mender, then ground flush. Moisture is tested before anything goes down.
A pigmented polyurea/polyaspartic base coat is rolled on and wets into the ground concrete for a mechanical bond.
Vinyl flake is broadcast to full rejection (or metallic, quartz or solid color applied), then scraped smooth once set.
A clear polyaspartic topcoat locks it all in — chemical, UV and hot-tire resistant. Walk on it that evening; park on it in about 48 hours.
Most northern Utah garage floors land between $1,800 and $4,500 installed, or roughly $5–$9 per square foot depending on size, the amount of repair the slab needs, and the finish you choose. A standard two-car garage (about 400–450 sq ft) with a full-flake polyaspartic system sits in the middle of that range. Metallic and quartz finishes cost more; solid color costs a little less.
Anything quoted well under $4 per square foot usually means the contractor is skipping the grind, the moisture test or the topcoat — the three things that decide whether a floor lasts. Our instant quote tool builds a written price from your actual square footage and slab condition so there are no surprises on install day.
Financing: 0% APR for up to 12 months and $0 down through Wisetack on approved credit — a $3,000 floor is $250 a month, interest-free. Financing details.

Most two- and three-car garages are done in a single day on site. If the slab needs extensive crack repair, an old coating removed, or moisture mitigation, we schedule a second day and tell you that in the consultation. You can walk on the floor that evening and park on it in about 48 hours.
Yes. Polyaspartic cures in temperatures well below what epoxy tolerates, and we heat the garage while we work. Winter is actually a good time to book — the schedule is more open and your floor is protected before the worst of the salt season instead of after it.
It's better than the epoxy most people picture. Our standard system uses a polyurea base coat and a polyaspartic topcoat — both are in the same resin family as epoxy but cure faster, flex with the concrete, resist UV yellowing and hold up to hot tires. If you've been searching for 'epoxy garage floor,' this is the professional version of what you're looking for. See polyaspartic vs. epoxy.
We grind it off. Old epoxy, garage floor paint, sealers and even carpet glue come up with the diamond grinder before we start, and the removal is included in your written quote.
We fill cracks with a flexible polyurea mender and grind them flush, so they disappear under a full-flake floor. Very wide structural cracks can telegraph through over time and we'll point those out at the consultation rather than promise otherwise.
Sweep, squeegee the slush out the door in winter, and mop with a little dish soap or a neutral cleaner a few times a year. No waxing, no sealing, no special products.
Every residential floor carries our 15-Year transferable warranty against peeling, delamination, hot-tire pickup and UV yellowing — backed by the same owner-signed SwiftHand Guarantee our painting customers know. Read the terms.
