Parking garage traffic coatings are waterproof membrane systems that cars can drive on. They go over suspended slabs, parking decks, ramps and podium decks. Every winter, cars carry road salt and slush in on their tires. Bare concrete soaks up that salt water. Over time it works down toward the reinforcing steel and drips onto the level below. A traffic coating seals the deck and puts a gritty wear surface on top for tires and shoes.
Complete Concrete Coatings has coated Utah concrete since 2005, working from our shop at 452 N 1100 W in Centerville. We are licensed and insured. Our crew installs vehicular and pedestrian traffic coatings, and parking garages are part of our commercial work. Expansion joints, building sealants and structural concrete repairs sit in the same commercial coatings and waterproofing line. Every product goes on to the manufacturer's specifications, and we pass the manufacturer's warranty on to you. The office takes calls Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm.

A traffic deck coating is built in layers, and each layer has a job. A primer goes down first when the product calls for one. Next comes the waterproofing base membrane, a rubbery coat that flexes with the deck instead of cracking. The wear coat goes over the membrane, and sand is broadcast into it while it is wet. That sand gives tires and shoes grip. A topcoat locks the sand in place. Open roof levels get a topcoat made for exterior use, since that deck sits in full sun.
The build changes with the traffic in each part of the garage. Turning lanes, entries and exits take the most tire scrub, so they get a thicker wear coat and more sand. Steep ramps take a product made for slopes, because a self-leveling grade is not used on them. Before any of that, cracks get routed and sealed, and joints get backer rod and sealant. Walls, curbs and columns get a bead of sealant in the corner where they meet the deck. Shop and warehouse slabs take a different system, shown on our commercial and industrial epoxy flooring page.
Parking structures sit open to rain, snow, sun and big temperature swings. In a Utah winter, cars drag road salt and slush in on their tires. Road deicers are chlorides, such as sodium or calcium chloride. As the slush melts, salt water soaks into bare concrete and carries chloride toward the reinforcing steel. Keeping chloride out of the slab extends the life of that steel. Freeze and thaw works on every crack and joint, and tires scrub the turns and entries. On a suspended deck, the water that gets through lands on the cars and people below.
Parking structure waterproofing starts with repair, because coatings fail at the prep. Damaged areas get cut back and patched, and cracks get filled. Failed expansion joints get rebuilt or replaced. That parking garage concrete repair has to cure before any coating goes over it. Old coatings and grime come off next. The concrete is then opened to the surface profile the manufacturer calls for. We check the slab for moisture, since the coating has to go on clean and dry. Then the traffic membrane goes down over sound concrete.
Price on parking deck waterproofing comes down to 5 things. Square footage moves the number most. Deck condition is next, since spalls, wide cracks, failed joints and an old coating all add repair and prep. The build matters too, because areas with heavy traffic get a thicker wear coat and more sand. Detail work at drains, walls, columns and joints adds hours. Phasing is the last driver. Coating a garage in sections around open parking costs more than coating an empty deck.
Every bid starts with a free on-site estimate. We come out, measure the deck and look at the concrete, the joints and the drains. We also ask how the garage runs, so the phases fit your tenants and your hours. Then you get a written number for the system that fits the structure. Commercial work runs from Ogden south through Salt Lake County, out of our Centerville shop. Call (801) 347-4518 Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, and the office will set a time.

(801) 347-4518From the first call to the cured floor, here is how it goes.
Tell us what the floor, deck or slab needs. A few photos help. The office answers Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, and gets you on the schedule.
We come out, measure the surface and check the concrete for cracks, moisture and old coatings. You get a written price for the system that fits.
We grind or sandblast the slab, repair cracks and spalling, then build the coating in layers. Most garage floors are done in 1 day. Decks take longer.
Each layer cures before the next one. We tell you when to walk on it and when to park on it, and we go over the care and the manufacturer's warranty.
Common questions about traffic coatings across the Wasatch Front. Don't see yours? Give us a call and ask.
A garage floor coating from Complete Concrete Coatings starts with diamond grinding and crack repair. Then comes an epoxy base with color flake, sealed under a clear polyaspartic top coat. Most Centerville area garages are finished in 1 day, with free estimates.
Metallic epoxy flooring puts metallic pigment in clear epoxy, then moves it while it is wet. The result is a marble style floor with veins and depth. We install it in garages, basements and commercial rooms across the Wasatch Front.
Basement floor coatings bond an epoxy system to a ground down basement slab. We moisture test the concrete first, then finish in flake, metallic or solid color under a clear top coat.
Concrete resurfacing repairs your existing slab, then covers it with a bonded overlay or coating system. You pick the color and texture, and a clear top coat locks it in. We resurface porches, patios, driveways, walkways and steps across the Wasatch Front.
We repair cracked, spalling and pitted concrete on driveways, garage floors, patios and shop slabs across the Wasatch Front. Damaged areas get cut back and filled, the surface gets ground flat, then a coating or sealer protects the repair.
Waterproof deck coatings seal plywood and concrete decks against snow, meltwater and sun. We inspect the deck, lay a rubberized membrane, add your color and finish with a sealing top coat. Slip-resistant textures available. Free estimates across the Wasatch Front.
The company started in 2005 and is still family owned and run. The crews have ground, repaired and coated Utah garages, decks and driveways for over 20 years. That is a lot of freeze-thaw winters and salted slabs.
Coatings fail at the prep, so we diamond grind or sandblast every slab, fix the cracks and spalling, and test for moisture before any color goes down. Every product goes on to the manufacturer's specifications.
A worn porch, a salt-damaged driveway or a stained garage floor rarely needs a tear-out. We repair the surface and coat, resurface or seal it. You keep the slab and spend the money on the surface you see.
Our shop sits at 452 N 1100 W in Centerville, so Davis County, Salt Lake City and Ogden are short drives. Call and the office sets a time to come look at the slab. Estimates are free and happen at the property.

They did a great job on the epoxy, the garage floor looks great, and the service was awesome! They got me scheduled quick, showed up exactly on time and got the work done when they said it would be done.
We had a spalling problem on driveway due to road salt. Work was performed on schedule and budget in a professional manner. And it looks terrific as well.
The guys knocked out my garage floor in 1 day! Concrete repair and high end epoxy at a fair price.
