Epoxy Floor & Concrete Coating Contractors in Johnstown, Pennsylvania

Johnstown is forever linked to the Great Flood of 1889, when the South Fork Dam failed and a wall of water destroyed much of the city. The Johnstown Flood National Memorial and the Johnstown Flood Museum tell that story, and the Johnstown Inclined Plane, one of the steepest vehicular inclines in the world, climbs the hillside for sweeping views of the valley. The Stonycreek and Little Conemaugh rivers meet downtown to form the Conemaugh, and the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown is nearby in Richland Township.

Valley Weather and Older Homes

Set deep in a valley in the Allegheny Mountains, Johnstown sees cold, snowy winters with frequent freeze–thaw cycles, and the steep streets require heavy salt use. Humidity and groundwater in the river valley can leave basements damp. Many homes here are older, built during the steel era, with basements, detached garages and concrete steps that have seen decades of wear.

• Basements in older homes, coated with moisture-tolerant systems
• Garages and workshops, including detached and alley garages
• Industrial and commercial floors in the city’s business districts
• Steps, porches and walkways repaired and sealed

Grinding, crack repair and moisture testing prepare older concrete for coating, and the result is a durable, easy-to-clean surface. Polyaspartic topcoats are popular for garages because they cure fast and resist salt. In suburbs like Richland and Westmont, newer homes with attached garages are also good candidates.
