Lehi Pro Epoxy Flooring: Garage & Commercial Floor Coatings
If you need a concrete floor that holds up to Utah winters, daily vehicle traffic, and spills, we install epoxy flooring for homes and businesses in Utah and Salt Lake counties. Our coating systems are designed to protect concrete from hot tire pickup, road salt, oil, and freeze-thaw damage, and they leave a surface that is easy to clean and maintain.
Repeated temperature swings and winter de-icing chemicals can cause bare concrete to crack, pit, and flake over time. Epoxy flooring seals the slab and adds a durable, attractive finish to garages, basements, patios, and commercial spaces.
On this page, we explain how our installation process works and which coating options fit residential and commercial projects. You will also find what affects project pricing and how to keep your floor in good condition for years.
Key Takeaways
- Our garage coatings resist hot tires, road salt, and chemical spills.
- Proper diamond grinding and crack repair help the coating bond to the concrete.
- Most garage floors are completed in a single day.

Garage Floor Coatings Built for Hot Tires and Road Salt
Protection Against Oil Stains, Snowmelt, and Daily Wear
Bare concrete is porous. Motor oil, transmission fluid, and salty snowmelt soak into it, which leads to stains, pitting, and surface flaking (spalling) over several winters.
Our coated floors form a sealed, non-porous layer over the slab. Spills sit on top, so you can wipe them up instead of scrubbing them out.
Here is how a coated floor responds to common garage problems:
A coated floor stands up to the most common garage problems. Oil drips wipe right off instead of staining, the sealed surface keeps out road salt and snowmelt, the topcoat resists hot tire pickup, and you don’t get the constant dust of bare concrete.
Prep matters most. We diamond grind every slab, including new builds because fresh concrete often has a smooth finish that coatings cannot grip.
Flake epoxy is the most popular choice for Lehi garages. Vinyl chips are broadcast into the wet base coat, adding texture and color variation that hides dust, tire marks, and minor imperfections.
You can choose from several options:
- Full flake broadcast: Complete chip coverage for the most texture and durability
- Partial flake: Lighter chip coverage for a more speckled look
- Color blends: Common choices include gray, tan, black-and-white, and earth-tone mixes
- Gloss level: High gloss or satin finish
Wet floors from melting snow can be slippery. Full flake floors provide natural texture, and we can add an anti-slip aggregate to the topcoat for extra grip near entry doors and steps.
We bring physical samples to your free on-site estimate so you can see colors under your garage lighting.
Epoxy Base Coats and Polyaspartic Topcoats Explained
Each layer in our system has a specific job.
- Epoxy base coat: Epoxy coatings penetrate the ground concrete and create a strong mechanical bond. This layer anchors the system and holds the flake.
- Polyaspartic topcoat: A clear, UV-stable layer that resists hot tire pickup, abrasion, and chemicals, including road salt.
Epoxy alone tends to yellow in sunlight and can soften under hot tires. A polyaspartic topcoat addresses both issues and cures faster than epoxy, which allows many garages to be completed in one day.
Most homeowners can walk on the floor within a day and park vehicles after about 24–48 hours, depending on temperature.
Surface Preparation and Professional Installation
Concrete Inspection and Moisture Testing
Every project starts with a walkthrough of the slab. We look for cracks, spalling, pitting, oil stains, previous sealers, and signs of efflorescence, which is the white mineral residue left when moisture moves through concrete.
Moisture is the main concern. Water vapor rising through a slab can push a coating loose from below and cause bubbling or peeling.
We use one or more of these tests:
- Calcium chloride test to measure vapor emission rate
- Plastic sheet test (ASTM D4263) for a quick visual check
- Meter readings to compare moisture levels across the floor
If readings are high, we can recommend a moisture-mitigating primer before the base coat. New concrete typically needs about 28 days to cure before coating.
Diamond Grinding and Shot Blasting Versus Acid Etching
Coatings need an open, textured surface to bond. The industry measures this with a Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) scale from 1 to 10. Most garage systems need a CSP of 2 to 3.
- Diamond grinding: Rotating diamond tooling removes the top layer, leaving an even profile and removing sealers and stains.
- Shot blasting: Steel shot is fired at the surface and recycled, creating a rougher profile that’s efficient on large areas.
- Acid etching: Diluted acid reacts with the surface, leaving a shallow, inconsistent profile.
We use diamond grinding for most residential floors and shot blasting for larger commercial slabs. Both are connected to vacuum systems to control dust.
We do not rely on acid etching. It does not remove sealers or contaminants, can leave residue behind, and produces uneven results that weaken adhesion.
Crack Repair, Patching, and Joint Treatment
After grinding, hidden damage becomes easier to see. We open cracks with a grinder or crack chaser so the filler can penetrate rather than sit on top.
Typical repairs include:
- Cracks: filled with epoxy or polyurea crack filler, then ground flush
- Spalls and pits: patched with an epoxy mortar or fast-setting repair compound
- Control joints: either filled for a seamless look or kept open and honored to allow slab movement
Filling joints creates a smooth surface, but it can lead to visible cracks along those lines if the slab shifts. We explain the trade-off so you can choose the option that fits your space.
Crack repair does not stop structural movement. It does prevent dirt and moisture from collecting and keeps the coating surface uniform.
Coating Application, Curing, and Return to Service
Our standard epoxy flooring installation follows a layered process:
- Base coat: epoxy or polyurea primer rolled into the profiled concrete
- Decorative flake: broadcast into the wet base coat, partial or full coverage
- Scraping: loose flakes are removed and edges are smoothed
- Polyaspartic topcoat: a clear layer that adds UV stability and abrasion resistance
A polyaspartic topcoat cures much faster than traditional epoxy topcoats and does not yellow in sunlight. This allows many garage floors to be completed in one day.

Commercial Flooring Matched to Your Business
Durable Systems for Warehouses, Auto Shops, and Workspaces
Industrial floors take point loads from pallet jacks, dropped tools, and steady rolling traffic. For these spaces, we install thicker, high-solids epoxy coatings or urethane cement systems instead of thin residential-grade products.
Auto shops face a specific problem: hot tire pickup and fluid spills. A chemical-resistant topcoat helps the floor hold up to oil, brake fluid, antifreeze, and degreasers.

We also add line striping and safety zones to mark walkways and equipment areas.
Decorative Finishes for Retail Spaces and Showrooms
Customer-facing floors need to look clean and stay that way. Many businesses across Silicon Slopes, from tech offices to car showrooms, choose finishes that match their branding.
Common options include:
- Flake broadcast systems – textured, hides minor dust and scuffs
- Metallic epoxy – a marbled, reflective surface for showrooms and lobbies
- Solid color with gloss or satin topcoat – a simple, uniform look for retail aisles
We can match flake blends and tints to your interior colors. Glossy finishes reflect more light, which can help display areas look brighter.
Cleaning Requirements, Traction, and Installation Scheduling
Seamless epoxy coatings have no grout lines, so dirt and spills stay on the surface. Most floors can be cleaned with an auto scrubber or a mop and a pH-neutral cleaner.
Traction depends on the space. We add aggregate grit to the topcoat in wet areas, wash bays, and commercial kitchens to improve slip resistance.
Downtime is often the biggest concern for business owners. Our commercial epoxy flooring installation can be scheduled in phases, over weekends, or after hours. Fast-cure polyaspartic topcoats can allow foot traffic within hours, while full vehicle loads usually need several days of cure time. We give you a written timeline before work starts.

Our Epoxy Flooring Installation Process
1. Inspection and Estimate
We start by looking at your concrete. We measure the space, check for cracks, moisture, oil stains, and old coatings, and talk through finish options with you. Then you get a clear, written quote.
2. Diamond Grinding
We grind the entire floor with commercial diamond grinders. This removes sealers, curing compounds, and surface contaminants, and opens the concrete so the coating bonds permanently. Our grinders connect to dust-collection vacuums to keep your home clean.
3. Crack and Surface Repair
We fill cracks, chips, and pitting with a fast-curing repair compound, then grind them flush with the floor. This step gives you a smooth, even surface and keeps damage from showing through the finished coating.
4. Base Coat Application
We apply a high-performance epoxy or polyaspartic base coat across the entire floor. This layer soaks into the prepared concrete and forms the foundation of your new floor.
5. Decorative Flake or Finish
While the base coat is still wet, we broadcast decorative flakes to full coverage, or apply your chosen solid color or metallic finish. Once it cures, we scrape and vacuum away loose flakes for a uniform texture.
6. Protective Topcoat
We finish with a clear, UV-stable topcoat that protects against hot tires, road salt, chemicals, and wear. Most garages are ready for foot traffic within 24 hours and vehicles within a few days, depending on the system.

Epoxy Flooring FAQs & Questions
Routine Cleaning and Prompt Spill Removal
Grit is the main cause of dull spots on epoxy flooring. Sweep or dust-mop the floor once a week with a soft-bristle broom or microfiber mop to remove sand and dirt before tires grind it in.
For deeper cleaning, we recommend this approach every one to two months:
- Mix a few ounces of pH-neutral cleaner or mild dish soap in a gallon of warm water.
- Mop with a soft foam or microfiber head.
- Rinse with clean water and squeegee the floor dry.
Avoid citrus cleaners, vinegar, and bleach, which can leave a film or dull the gloss over time. Wipe up oil, antifreeze, brake fluid, and battery acid as soon as you notice them. Epoxy coatings resist these chemicals, but long contact can stain the surface.
Managing Winter Salt, Abrasion, and Surface Wear
Utah County winters bring snowmelt and magnesium chloride into garages on every vehicle. Left to dry, these deposits form a white haze and act as an abrasive under tires.
Winter Task
Squeegee standing meltwater toward the drain or door
Rinse salt residue with warm water and neutral cleaner
Place a containment mat under each parking spot
How often
After snowfall or storms
Every 1-2 weeks
All Season
To limit scratches and gouges, put felt pads under furniture and shelving legs. Use plywood or rubber mats under jack stands, kickstands, and rolling tool chests. Never drag sharp metal objects across the floor.
A polyaspartic topcoat holds up better against salt and UV exposure than standard epoxy, which is why we use it on most garage systems we install.
When to Request an Inspection or Maintenance Topcoat
Most coated floors need little more than cleaning for several years. Certain signs mean it is time for a professional look:
- Gloss loss in tire paths or high-traffic lanes
- Scratches that collect dirt and do not clean out
- Chips near the garage door edge or stem wall
- Peeling, lifting, or bubbling in any area
- Cracks in the concrete showing through the coating
We generally suggest an inspection every 3 to 5 years for residential garages and more often for shops or commercial spaces. If the base coat is still bonded, we can lightly abrade the surface and apply a new topcoat. This restores gloss and protection at a lower cost than a full replacement. Contact us for an on-site assessment if you notice any of these issues.
How long does an epoxy garage floor last?
A professionally installed epoxy floor with a polyaspartic topcoat typically lasts 15 to 20 years or more in a residential garage. How long it lasts depends mostly on surface prep: floors that are diamond ground and properly repaired bond far better than DIY kits, which often peel within a year or two. With regular sweeping, prompt salt cleanup in winter, and an occasional maintenance topcoat, your floor can stay protected well beyond its first decade.
Can you install epoxy flooring in winter?
Yes. Winter installs are common in Utah because the garage is enclosed and we can control the conditions. Coatings need the concrete and air to be warm enough to cure properly, so we check the slab temperature and use heaters when needed. Polyaspartic topcoats cure well in cooler temperatures than traditional epoxy, which makes them a good fit for winter projects. Installing in winter also means your floor is protected against road salt and snowmelt right when it needs it most.
