Epoxy Flooring in Wernersville, PA

Epoxy flooring in Wernersville goes into two kinds of houses. Some date back to the borough's resort years, when visitors from Philadelphia and New York rode the Reading Railroad out to breathe the mountain air of South Mountain and stayed at hotels such as Galen Hall and the Highland Hotel. Others are much newer, because Wernersville has kept growing. The borough had 1,761 people in 1970, 2,150 in 2000 and 2,776 in 2020. That is close to 30% growth in the last twenty years alone.

Each kind of house brings its own floor problems. We sort them out on site and put the plan in writing.

Older homes near the center

Houses from the resort era and the decades after often have stone or block foundations, basements with uneven slabs, and detached garages built for smaller cars. We expect to grind off paint, fill wide cracks and level low spots. Sometimes a slab has been patched so many times it needs a skim of repair mortar before any coating. That is all part of concrete crack and floor repair, and it gets listed line by line in your quote.

For these basements, moisture is the deciding factor. A basement on a slope below the mountain can collect groundwater after heavy rain. We test, and we tell you plainly if the floor is dry enough to coat.

Newer homes and attached garages

The borough's recent growth brought homes with attached garages and smooth, machine-finished concrete. That concrete is sound, but it is dense and slick. We diamond-grind it to open the surface so the coating bonds into the slab. Then we usually install an epoxy flake floor, which handles daily parking, salt and grit with very little upkeep.

US 422 runs through the borough along Penn Avenue and is the main road in and out. In winter, that is a lot of treated pavement between your driveway and everywhere else.

Floors for an older community

In the 2000 census, 21.3% of Wernersville residents were 65 or older. The borough has a long history of care and rest. Wernersville State Hospital opened in 1891 and is still active. The former Jesuit novitiate later served as a spiritual retreat center, and in 2023 the Phoebe Center bought the property for senior living.

For homeowners planning to age in place, we focus on grip and visibility. A light-colored flake floor with a textured topcoat is easier to see and safer to walk on than bare, dusty concrete. We can add an anti-slip additive in laundry areas and at garage steps.
