From Army Base to Neighborhood

Epoxy flooring in Kearns is frequently for homes built in two big waves. Kearns began on May 1, 1942, as Kearns Army Air Base, a World War II training site. After the base closed in 1946, houses and businesses went up quickly. By Census survey counts, the 1950s produced about 21.6% of today's housing and the 1970s 23.9%, when building spread west of the railroad tracks.

The 1950s home

Postwar homes were built fast and simply. Many have single-car garages or carports that were later enclosed. Slabs from this era may be thin, may lack a vapor barrier and often show decades of wear. We grind them, fill cracks and test moisture. High numbers send us to a primer made to tolerate moisture.

The 1970s home

Homes from the 1970s usually have larger attached garages. Their slabs are often in better shape but still carry old oil stains and the occasional peeling sealer. A full grind, then flake sealed under polyaspartic, suits most of these floors.

Almost all single-family

About 90.7% of housing units in Kearns are single-family detached homes, and 84.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. That makes the garage a big part of daily life here, whether it holds cars, tools, bikes or a freezer. We help you pick a floor that matches how you use it.

Cold winters, hot summers

Wikipedia describes Kearns as having a humid continental climate with warm to hot, usually dry summers and cold, sometimes severely cold winters. Freeze-thaw cycles and road salt wear on bare concrete. A sealed coating protects the slab and makes winter cleanup simple.

Olympic neighbors

The Utah Olympic Oval, built for the 2002 Winter Games, sits in Kearns at Oquirrh Park. Nearby sports facilities, gyms and businesses can benefit from seamless, slip-resistant floors. We quote commercial work separately with systems sized for heavy foot traffic.

Before and after the first frost

Fall is a popular time to coat in Kearns because owners want the floor sealed before salt season. We book those jobs early and check slab temperature on install day. If cold weather arrives first, polyaspartic products that cure at lower temperatures keep the schedule on track.

Kearns Questions

Can you coat an enclosed carport floor?

Often, yes. We check the slab's thickness, condition and moisture, and may recommend patching or leveling before coating.

Do 1950s Kearns slabs need a special primer?

They may. Many older slabs lack a vapor barrier, so we take a moisture reading and prime with a moisture-tolerant product if it calls for one.

What system suits a 1970s attached garage?

A ground surface, a solid base coat, full flake and a polyaspartic topcoat suits most of these floors.

Do you install floors for gyms and sports businesses?

Yes. We install seamless, slip-resistant commercial systems sized for heavy foot traffic.
