From Northway to Your Garage

People asking about epoxy flooring in Ross Township tend to fall into two groups: homeowners with 1950s or 1960s garages, and businesses along the retail strips. The township grew from 15,744 residents in 1950 to 25,952 in 1960, a 64.8% jump, and kept climbing to 32,892 by 1970. In 1962 Northway Mall opened here with 62 stores, the first enclosed mall in Pennsylvania.

Mid-century garages

Homes from that era often have a garage under the main living space, set into the slope. Those slabs get less sun and less airflow, so they dry slowly after a wet week. They also carry decades of road salt residue. Our prep includes grinding past the contaminated top layer, then a primer chosen after a moisture reading.

Retail floors that face the public

McKnight Road is a long retail corridor, and Route 19 and Babcock Boulevard have their own business districts. Boutiques, salons and restaurants want a floor that looks clean and handles foot traffic. Flake systems in a neutral blend hide scuffs well. Metallic epoxy gives a statement look for spaces with less wear.

Winter at the door

North Hills drivers bring home a lot of slush. During one hard winter, PennDOT used about 22,000 tons of salt in Allegheny County by late January, compared with 5,000 tons at the same point the year before. That brine settles into bare concrete. On a sealed floor it stays up top, where a rinse carries it away.

Dense, built-out streets

The 2010 census counted 14,909 housing units across 14.47 square miles. Many lots are tight, and garages are close to the street. We keep our equipment compact, and a dust-controlled grinder keeps the mess inside the work area.

Ross Township Questions

Is a tuck-under garage harder to coat?

It needs more care with moisture because it dries slowly. We take readings, may suggest a vapor-tolerant primer and skip any day when the concrete is close to dew point temperature.

Which floor suits a small shop on McKnight Road?

Many shop owners go with flake under a polyaspartic topcoat, since the chips hide scuffs and the topcoat cures fast. If looks matter more than heavy wear, metallic epoxy is another option.

How do I keep salt from ruining the new floor?

Rinse or squeegee the floor every so often during winter, and use a mat where people step out of the car. The coating resists salt, but grit left sitting can dull the gloss.

Will grinding make dust in my house?

We use grinders hooked to a vacuum, which captures most of the dust. We also seal off the door into the house while we work.
