Epoxy Flooring in Bern Township, PA

Epoxy flooring in Bern Township covers a wider mix of buildings than most places we work. The township was named by Swiss settlers after Bern, Switzerland. Today its 6,609 residents (2020 census) share about 20 square miles with the Greenfields community, Reading Regional Airport, part of State Game Lands 280, the county prison and three of Berks County's 12 nursing homes. Farmhouses, newer subdivisions and large institutional buildings all sit inside the same township line.

Residential garages

Most of our Bern Township calls are for garages. Homes here tend to be detached, with longer driveways and attached two-car garages, especially in and around Greenfields. Those garages get heavy use: two vehicles, yard equipment, bikes and a workbench. An epoxy flake floor handles that mix well. It resists the hot tires and road salt of winter and hides the dirt that comes in from the yard.

Bern's roads add to that. The township has about 74 miles of public road, with US 222 crossing the southeast corner and PA 183 following Bernville Road through the south and west. Winter driving on those routes means slush in the garage.

Outbuildings and rural shops

The township still has a farming past. The Rieser Mill, Spannuth Mill, Rieser-Shoemaker Farm and Wertz's Covered Bridge are all on the National Register of Historic Places. Rural properties often have a pole barn, detached shop or equipment shed with a concrete floor. Those slabs see tractors, mowers, fuel and fertilizer. A coated floor makes cleanup simple and keeps spills from soaking into the concrete.

Shop floors are often bigger and rougher than garage floors. We check flatness and cracks, and we plan concrete crack and floor repair into the quote where joints have spalled or the slab has settled.

Commercial and institutional floors

Reading Regional Airport occupies the southeastern part of the township, and the businesses around an airport include hangars, service shops and warehouses. Bern is also home to the Berks County Prison System and three nursing homes. Floors in buildings like these have to handle carts, cleaning chemicals and heavy foot traffic every day.

Commercial and industrial floor epoxy systems are built for that. We can choose a coating for chemical resistance, add texture for slip resistance in wet areas, and stage the work so part of a building stays open. For any facility job, we walk the space with your maintenance staff first and write a scope that names each area, each repair and each coat.

Water in the ground

Part of the township is water: about 0.8 square miles of its 20. Low areas near water can carry ground moisture into slabs, especially basements and older outbuildings set on grade. We test before we quote and use a moisture-tolerant primer where readings call for it.
