What Quirk does
Quirk, Inc. is a Salt Lake City-based specialty trade contractor that designs, fabricates, installs, and removes commercial interior architectural elements including window films, large-format wall graphics, vinyl wraps, wall coverings, and custom resin panels (from suppliers such as 3form, Lumicor, LightBlocks, and Evowe). The company combines installation with in-house custom hardware engineering — including aluminum C-channels, tensioned cable mounting systems, and water-jet cut back-lit acrylic — enabling it to execute non-standard creative design concepts that conventional finish contractors cannot deliver. Quantified experience includes installation of over 4,000 sheets of 3form resin panels, 1,200 custom-finished architectural blocks, and 100-foot-wide single-piece wall coverings.
The company operates as a project-based professional services firm serving commercial businesses, architectural firms, and general contractors across Utah (with at least one delivery in Columbus, Ohio). Named clients include Layton Construction, Hughes Construction, Dixon and Associates, GSBS Architects, Utah Valley University, Weber State University, Intermountain Healthcare, Oracle, Young Living, and Health Equity. Customer acquisition is driven by direct referral relationships with general contractors and architects, supplemented by an online multi-step quote request questionnaire. All pricing is custom per project; no published rates or standard catalog exists. Founder and CEO Darin Harker and co-owner/President Stacy Harker lead the 1-10 employee firm, which has no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investors.
