Epoxy Floor & Concrete Coating Contractors in Rochester, New York

Rochester grew up along the Genesee River, and High Falls still drops dramatically through the middle of the city. Highland Park, designed with input from Frederick Law Olmsted, hosts the Lilac Festival each May, the George Eastman Museum preserves the legacy of Kodak’s founder, and The Strong National Museum of Play draws families from across the country. Ontario Beach Park and the Charlotte pier sit on Lake Ontario at the city’s northern edge, and the University of Rochester and nearby RIT give the area a strong academic and tech base.

Lake Ontario’s Influence

Rochester’s winters are long, cloudy and snowy, with lake-effect bands off Lake Ontario and a seemingly endless series of thaws and refreezes. Road salt is used heavily across Monroe County, and slush packed under wheel wells drips onto garage floors all winter. That steady exposure to chlorides and moisture breaks down bare concrete through scaling, spalling and pitting. Summers are warm and humid, and many older homes in city neighborhoods have basements with porous slabs that stay damp.

A properly ground and primed floor with a non-porous topcoat is the standard fix. Rochester homeowners often choose polyaspartic flake systems because they cure fast and resist salt, while basements usually call for moisture testing and a vapor-tolerant primer first.

• Garages in the city and suburbs, protected against salt, slush and hot-tire pickup
• Basements in older homes in neighborhoods like the South Wedge and North Winton Village
• Breweries, restaurants and event spaces that need slip-resistant, washable floors
• Manufacturing, lab and warehouse spaces that need chemical- and abrasion-resistant systems
