Epoxy Flooring in Fountain Hill, PA

Fountain Hill is one of the smallest places we serve. It covers about three quarters of a square mile, became a borough on November 13, 1893 and had 4,832 residents at the 2020 census. Epoxy flooring in Fountain Hill usually means an older basement or a compact garage on a sloped street. Space is tight, access can be awkward, and the concrete has been there a long time.

Railroad mansions and the historic district

The Fountain Hill Historic District preserves many of the mansions built for Lehigh Valley Railroad executives. Their basements are often large, with stone walls and slabs added or replaced at different times. That means one basement can hold several kinds of concrete, each with its own patches and coatings.

In these houses we:

• Map where old paint, sealer and adhesive sit before we quote.
• Grind each section to a matching profile so the coating bonds evenly.
• Fill seams where newer and older pours meet.
• Keep the finish simple and practical, often a gray or tan epoxy that suits storage, laundry or a wine room.

Dense streets, small garages

The 2020 census counted 2,018 housing units in Fountain Hill, with 3.9% vacant. That is a lot of homes in a small area. Garages here are mostly single bays, and some sit below the house or off a steep drive. We plan equipment around the access and protect walls and doors on the way in. Water running down a sloped driveway tends to collect at the garage door, so we repair the front edge of the slab and use a textured finish where wet tires land.

Next to the hospital

St. Luke's Hospital has been in Fountain Hill since 1876, when Asa Packer gave it the land and it moved up from South Bethlehem. A lot of people in the borough work long or overnight shifts. For a household that cannot give up the garage for long, our polyaspartic floor coating can usually take foot traffic the same day and cars soon after. We schedule around your hours and tell you in writing when each step is safe.

Before you grind an old basement

Houses as old as many in Fountain Hill sometimes have old floor tile or black adhesive in the basement. Some of those materials contain asbestos. Before we grind, we ask whether old tile or mastic has been tested. If it has not, we recommend testing first. If the result is positive, it needs proper abatement before any floor work. This adds a step, but it protects your household and ours.

Small floors, real prep

A single-bay garage or a small basement room still needs the full process: grinding, crack repair, moisture testing and multiple coats. Setup and equipment cost about the same on a small floor as on a large one. That is why the price per square foot is higher on small jobs. We explain each line of the quote so you can see what goes into it.
