Epoxy Flooring in Northampton, PA

Epoxy flooring in Northampton is work on concrete in a town that made it for the world. Atlas Portland Cement ran here from 1895 to 1982 and was the largest such company in the world for much of the 20th century. Atlas shipped about eight million barrels for the Panama Canal, most of the cement used to build it. The last smokestack came down in 1993, and the Atlas Memorial Cement Museum opened in 1997.

A borough built early

Northampton formed in 1902 from the villages of Siegfried, Newport and Stemton. By the 1910 census it already had 8,729 people. The population has stayed between about 8,200 and 10,400 since then, reaching 10,395 in 2020. That steady count means much of the housing went up in the borough's early decades. Floors in homes like these have usually seen:

• Generations of patching in the basement.
• Paint or sealer that is now flaking.
• Salt scaling near the garage door.
• Cracks from a century of seasonal movement.

Homes people keep

In 2020 Northampton had 4,523 housing units, and the homeowner vacancy rate was only 0.5%. Houses here change hands rarely, and owners tend to improve them. A coated basement turns a dim storage area into a usable laundry room, workshop or gym. A coated garage stops oil stains and brine from soaking in. Both projects add use to a house you already plan to keep.

What the job involves

1. We measure, look at the slab and test it for moisture. 2. You get a written quote listing prep, repairs and each coat. 3. Old paint and sealer are ground off and the dust is vacuumed. 4. Cracks and spalls are filled and ground flush. 5. Base coat, flake or color, and topcoat go down. 6. We leave written timing for walking, moving items back and parking.

Winter and the 21st Street commute

Northampton's climate is hot-summer humid continental, with average monthly temperatures from about 28.8°F in January to 73.7°F in July. PA Route 329 runs along 21st Street, and winter road treatment there ends up on tires and then on garage floors. Salt brine left on bare concrete is a slow, steady cause of flaking. A sealed floor lets you push that water out the door. In spring, a rinse and mop clears what is left.

Coating the basement first

In many Northampton homes the basement is the floor that needs the most help. It may hold the washer, a workbench and years of storage. Old paint peels in patches, and the slab sheds a fine dust that tracks upstairs. After grinding and repair, a basement epoxy seals that dust in and makes the floor easy to sweep. A light color brightens a dim space without more fixtures. We test for moisture first and choose a primer to match the reading.
