Steep canyon driveways deliver constant road sand, cinders and snowmelt into garages here, and a coating keeps that abrasive slurry from grinding down the slab. SwiftHand Concrete Coatings installs diamond-ground, full-flake polyaspartic floors across Emigration Canyon — garages, basements, patios, shops and commercial — with a written price in minutes and a 15-Year warranty.
This is the canyon the Mormon pioneers came down in 1847, and Ruth's Diner has been serving at the same spot since 1930. Cyclists climb the seven-plus miles to Little Mountain in a steady stream all summer, and the deer come down through yards every evening.
SwiftHand Concrete Coatings is the coatings arm of SwiftHand Painting, an owner-run Salt Lake County company, and Emigration Canyon is squarely inside our everyday service area — not a place we drive to twice a year. The same crew that grinds and coats in Salt Lake City and Millcreek is the crew that shows up on your driveway.
The canyon climbs from about 5,000 feet at its mouth to roughly 6,000 feet at Little Mountain, so snow accumulates far more than in the valley and lingers well into spring on shaded north-facing lots. Emigration Canyon Road is sanded and salted through winter and steep driveways track that grit straight into garages.
Scattered canyon homes and cabins on wooded, steep lots, ranging from mid-century A-frames and cabins to large custom houses in Emigration Oaks. Garages are often tucked under or built into the hillside, and driveways are steep.
On the valley floor, the enemy is brine. Magnesium chloride off the freeways and arterials rides home on every tire from November to March, dries on the slab, and goes to work on the concrete with each overnight freeze. Coated concrete doesn't absorb it — the slush sits on top and squeegees out the door.
Every floor gets diamond grinding, polyurea repair, a moisture test and a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat.
Garage floors ground, repaired and coated with a UV-stable topcoat and a 15-Year warranty.
