Detached shops in Herriman, RV bays in Eagle Mountain, boat garages in Stansbury Park, barns in Ogden Valley — northern Utah loves its toys. We coat the floors that hold them with thicker systems and more aggressive prep.
A detached shop floor lives harder than a two-car garage: floor jacks and lifts, dropped wrenches, welding slag, dragged trailers, the dually that weighs twice what a sedan does. It also tends to be a bigger slab, often poured by a different concrete crew than the house, and sometimes without a vapor barrier. So we treat shop floors as their own category.
For most shops we recommend either a double-broadcast full-flake system — two rounds of flake for extra build — or a quartz broadcast, which is the toughest decorative finish we install. Customers who want a clean, uniform look for a workshop or an RV bay often choose a solid color with a second polyaspartic topcoat, which gives a very hard, easy-to-sweep surface that also brightens the space under shop lights.
Because shops are large, per-foot pricing comes down, and because the same crew coats the attached garage, the shop and the patio in one visit, bundling saves real money.
Jack stands, lifts and trailer tongues sit on a system built for it, not a thin kit that dents.
Gas, diesel, oil, coolant, hydraulic fluid and brake clean wipe up without staining.
A light-colored coated floor bounces light and makes the space feel bigger and cleaner.
Sweep the sawdust, squeegee the slush, hose it out in summer.
We'll spec a solid, extra-thick system and talk through spatter protection at the consultation.
Shop + garage + patio in one trip is our favorite kind of job, and we price it that way.
Every SwiftHand floor follows the same sequence. Skipping a step is how coatings fail, so we don't.
Measure the space, check the slab for moisture and old coatings, pick a finish. You get a written price — online in minutes or in person.
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.
Shop floors run roughly $4–$8 per square foot depending on the system, size and slab condition. Large, open slabs price at the low end; heavy repair or a double-broadcast system at the high end.

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.

Yes. We recommend a quartz or double-broadcast flake system under lift points and can leave the lift-post footprint uncoated if the manufacturer requires anchoring to bare concrete.
Often, after a moisture test. Elevated readings get a vapor-barrier epoxy primer before the base coat.
We coat right up to and into the drain lip so water sheets to it. Trench drains are handled the same way.
Absolutely — many shop owners prefer a light gray or tan solid color with a heavy anti-slip topcoat. It's easy to sweep and shows you exactly where you dropped that bolt.
Answer a few questions about the space — size, condition, the finish you like — and our instant quote tool builds a written price on the spot. It takes four to five minutes, not sixty seconds, because an accurate number beats a fast one. Prefer a person? Book a free consultation and we'll measure in person.
