Garage Remodeling in Herriman, Utah

Herriman is one of Utah's fastest-growing cities — a master-planned community that has expanded dramatically along the Mountain View Corridor since the late 1990s and early 2000s, with tens of thousands of new residents arriving in large, well-built homes that include three-car garages as a standard feature.

That third car bay. It was one of the selling points when the home was purchased. The dream was a clean, organized space with one bay for each vehicle and the third designated for workshop or storage. The reality, a few years into occupancy, is that all three bays are partially occupied by a combination of vehicles, overflow storage, accumulated outdoor gear, and whatever didn't fit in the house. The epoxy floor that might have been planned never happened. The storage system is a mix of free-standing shelving and hooks that were installed as needed.

Herriman homeowners in 2026 are at the point where the three-car garage's potential is ready to be realized. The homes are established, the equity has grown, and the household has a clear picture of what it actually needs from the space.

Alta Home Group connects Herriman homeowners with qualified partner specialists who understand what a well-configured three-car garage means for a young, active family — organized sports storage that handles three kids' worth of seasonal equipment, clean durable flooring that holds up to daily vehicle traffic and Utah winters, and the option to transform the third bay into the gym, workshop, or man cave that was always the plan.

Herriman's newer homes — most built between 2000 and 2020 — have garages that start from a better baseline than Murray or SLC's older stock, but that baseline still represents significant untapped potential.

• The three-car garage advantage. A standard Herriman three-car garage gives approximately 600–800 square feet of garage floor area. That's a meaningful amount of space — comparable to a small apartment's footprint. When properly organized and finished, it can comfortably accommodate three vehicles, complete outdoor recreation storage for an active family, a dedicated workshop or gym area, and still feel spacious.
• Newer concrete, but uncoated. Herriman's newer garage floors haven't accumulated the decades of oil saturation that characterize older garages. But uncoated concrete — even relatively recent concrete — still generates dust, absorbs stains readily, and looks unfinished. Epoxy coating resolves this in two to three days.
• Electrical that supports EV charging but may need expansion. Newer Herriman homes were typically built with 200-amp service, which provides capacity for EV charging additions without panel upgrades in most cases. However, the garage electrical circuit count may still be limited. Workshop use, additional lighting circuits, and EV charging may require adding circuits.
• Mountain View Corridor outdoor lifestyle context. Herriman's location along the Mountain View Corridor puts residents close to outdoor recreation in multiple directions. The average Herriman family has more outdoor sports gear per capita than most comparable Utah communities, making organized garage storage a high-priority investment.

Herriman's three-car garage floors represent 550–800 square feet of concrete — a substantial canvas for a floor coating that will be seen and used daily for the next 15–20 years.

The decorative chip/flake system with polyaspartic topcoat is the most popular choice in Herriman's newer homes. The broadcast chip pattern provides visual appeal, texture for slip resistance, and a surface that disguises minor dirt between cleanings. For third-bay areas being converted to gym or man cave use, an alternative to standard chip epoxy is rubber interlocking tile flooring installed over a base epoxy coat.

Herriman's active family demographic has the most complex outdoor recreation storage demands in the Salt Lake Valley. The combination of skiing, snowboarding, biking, camping, water sports, youth team sports, and year-round outdoor activities creates a storage challenge that informal shelving simply cannot address.

• Seasonal outdoor gear wall systems: Slatwall panels configured for ski season in winter and reconfigured for bike season in spring.
• Youth sports command center: A dedicated sports wall organizes equipment by sport and by child.
• Overhead racks for seasonal bulk storage: Items accessed once or twice per year go overhead, freeing the walls and floor.
• Base cabinetry: Locking steel cabinets keep automotive supplies and tools secure.

Herriman's three-car garages offer a third-bay conversion opportunity that doesn't exist in standard two-car garages — the ability to repurpose one full bay as a designated-use space while retaining full two-car parking in the remaining bays.

• Home gym setup: Rubber tile flooring, mirror wall, dedicated electrical circuits for equipment.
• Man cave or sports room: Insulation, drywall, a flat wall for a large-format TV mount, mini-fridge rough-in.
• Workshop setup: Dedicated workshop electrical, workbench installation, LED task lighting.

Herriman's demographic has one of the highest rates of EV adoption and EV purchasing intention in the Salt Lake Valley. Adding EV charging capability to a Herriman garage is both a present-day utility improvement and a future-proofing investment.

• Seasonal outdoor gear organization as the primary driver. The combination of ski season and outdoor recreation season creates a genuine storage management challenge.
• Floor coating to match home quality. Newer Herriman homes are well-finished throughout. Epoxy coating completes the picture.
• Third-bay activation. Herriman households are increasingly ready to invest in the third bay now that the home is established and the use case is clear.
• EV charging readiness. High EV adoption rate and significant EV purchasing intention make EV charger rough-in a common addition.
