Three-car garages, basements and big patios in Kaysville
Kaysville lots run bigger than most of Davis County. Quarter acre lots are common, and the bench and the west side run larger still. Bigger lots mean bigger slabs. The 1970s through 2000s subdivisions around Barnes Park and Davis High School fill the middle of town. Newer streets west of I-15 were built with garages for 3 cars and wide driveways. Older homes on the historic grid often have a detached garage and a full basement. About 89 percent of homes in the 84037 ZIP are owner occupied. So the same floors keep coming up: the 3-car garage, the basement, the back patio. Each of those needs different prep and a different coating.
On a garage floor we grind the concrete down, fill the cracks, then lay the coating. Flake systems and colored polyaspartic finishes are what we install most in homes. Basement slabs sometimes need a vapor barrier coating first, since moisture moves up through concrete. For a basement or a showroom floor, metallic epoxy flooring gives a marble look. Out back, a patio or pool deck usually calls for decorative concrete coatings with color, flakes or a border. We also replace failed DIY kits that picked up hot tire marks. Epoxy handles roughly 150 to 200 degrees F, depending on the product.
Kaysville winters, bench snow and concrete wear
The snowy stretch in Kaysville runs from about November 11 to March 15. January averages a low of 25 degrees and a high of 35. Average lows stay below freezing for 6 months, November through April. Snow lands heavier on the east bench than on the streets west of the freeway. UDOT treats roads with salt and salt brine, and colder storms get high performance salt. Cars carry that salt home and drop it on your garage floor. Outside, the same salt sits on driveways and porches through the melt. Salt plus daily freezing and thawing is what pits and flakes concrete here.
Salt damage does not stop on its own. We handle spalling and pitting repair on driveways, porches and steps before any coating goes on. Repair costs less than removal and replacement. On bare outdoor concrete, concrete sealing slows the salt down. New concrete has to cure at least 30 days before it gets sealed. We apply sealers between 50 and 90 degrees F. Acrylic sealers get redone every 1 to 3 years, and penetrating siloxane sealers last around 10 years. Some sealers take up to 3 days to dry all the way. Deck coatings go on spring through fall, when the weather holds.
