Epoxy Floor & Concrete Coating Contractors in North Smithfield, Rhode Island

North Smithfield is a town in northern Providence County, in the Blackstone River Valley along the Massachusetts border. It is home to Slatersville, one of the first planned mill villages in the United States, with its historic mill buildings, village green and Congregational church. The Branch River runs through the town, and its ponds, forests and farmland give it a rural character, with Woonsocket just to the east and Providence about a half-hour drive south.

Mill Village Concrete

North Smithfield’s river valleys and ponds bring high groundwater in low areas, while rocky glacial soils on the hills hold water around foundations. Many homes in the town’s mill villages are old, with fieldstone or brick basements that stay damp. Winters are colder and snowier than along the coast, with frequent freeze-thaw cycles and heavy road salt. A coating system with a moisture-tolerant primer, broadcast flake and a salt-resistant topcoat holds up well to these conditions.

North Smithfield property owners commonly coat:

• Garages on homes in Slatersville, Forestdale and the town’s rural areas
• Basements in older mill-village homes
• Converted mill spaces used for workshops, studios and businesses
• Barns and outbuildings on farm properties
