Epoxy Flooring in Kutztown, PA

A lot of the epoxy flooring we install in Kutztown goes into rental property. Kutztown University sits just outside the borough to the southwest, with 7,391 undergraduates and 918 graduate students. In the 2010 census, 38.7% of borough residents were between 18 and 24, and the median age was 24. Many older houses near campus are split into apartments or rented by the room, and their basements and garages take a beating every school year.

What landlords ask us for

Rental floors need to clean up fast between tenants. Bare concrete holds spills, odors and stains. Carpet in a basement rarely survives more than a couple of leases. A coated floor fixes both problems.

• Basement floor epoxy for laundry rooms, storage and common areas
• Flake floors where foot traffic is heavy, since the chips hide wear
• Garage floor coatings for tenant parking and storage bays
• Crack and floor repair on old slabs before anything is coated

Turnover is tight in summer, so we plan the schedule around your lease dates.

Homeowners in an old borough

Kutztown was laid out in 1779 and became a borough in 1815, the second in Berks County after Reading. Homes on the older streets often have basements with uneven floors, old paint and patches from past plumbing work. We grind those down to sound concrete, fill and level, and then coat. The H.K. Deisher Knitting Mill and the 1892 public school building are both on the National Register, and many houses nearby share that age.

Limestone under the valley

The borough sits in the East Penn Valley, a limestone valley between Blue Mountain and South Mountain. Crystal Cave, found near Kutztown in 1871, shows how water shapes that rock. Limestone ground can settle unevenly over time, and that can crack slabs. We repair stable cracks before coating. If a crack is still opening or one side keeps dropping, we tell you the coating will not hide it.

Garages on the bypass side of town

U.S. Route 222 runs along the north and west edges of the borough on the Kutztown Bypass, and Main Street crosses town from southwest to northeast. Homeowners who commute on 222 bring winter salt home on every car. A flake garage floor with a clear topcoat sheds that brine and hides the dust and tire marks between cleanings.

Garage gyms and hobby rooms

Not every Kutztown garage holds a car. Some are home gyms, art studios or band rooms. A coated floor is easy to sweep, does not shed concrete dust onto equipment, and can take rubber mats where weights drop. Tell us how you use the room and we will suggest the finish.

Old floors and new utilities

Kutztown runs its own electric department for most of the borough, and UGI supplies natural gas. Older homes often have had gas lines, water heaters or panels moved over the years, and every move leaves a patch or trench in the basement floor. We grind those patches flush and fill any gaps so the coating does not telegraph every old repair.

Cold-season timing

January in Kutztown averages 28.9°F. Unheated garages are best coated from spring to fall. Heated basements can be done most of the year once we confirm slab temperature and moisture.
