We Work Right Here in Reading, PA

Reading is the seat of Berks County and one of the larger cities in Pennsylvania, with US-222, US-422, and PA-61 all running through it. William Penn’s sons laid the city out in 1748, and it has been a real industrial and manufacturing hub ever since, home to the old Reading Railroad and, more recently, Boscov’s. Being a full city rather than a small borough, Reading also has real commercial buildings, warehouses, and pole barns that need something tougher than a bare concrete slab, alongside plenty of ordinary homes and garages.

We take jobs in and around Reading regularly, residential and commercial both. We come out, look at the floor, tell you what it needs, and do the work ourselves. No subcontractors, no national franchise.

Polyaspartic vs. Standard Epoxy in Berks County

Reading sees the same freeze-thaw winters as the rest of the region, plus real commercial and industrial traffic that a small borough garage never has to deal with. Standard epoxy was designed for stable indoor conditions. Polyaspartic was designed to handle both weather and heavy daily use.

What We Do in Reading Each Season

Spring

Assess After Winter

Spring shows what winter did. New cracks, salt staining, old coatings that did not make it. We come out and tell you exactly what the floor needs.

Summer

Best Time to Coat

Warm dry weather gives polyaspartic ideal curing conditions. If you want a garage or patio done right, summer is the best window to book.

Fall

Last Chance Before Freeze

Any bare concrete going into November in Reading is going to be worse by March. Fall is your last real chance to seal it before the first hard freeze.

Winter

We Still Install

Polyaspartic can be applied well below freezing. Unlike standard epoxy, we do not stop working in October. Call us any time of year.

Who We Work With in Reading, PA

Homeowners

Garages, basements, and patios throughout Reading and the surrounding boroughs. Older city homes that have never had their concrete protected.

Commercial & Industrial Buildings

Pole Barns & Agricultural Buildings

Pole barns and outbuildings around Berks County take heavy equipment traffic. We coat these the same way we coat a commercial shop floor.

US-222 / US-422 Businesses

Shops and commercial spaces along the main corridors into the city. We work around your hours so you do not lose operating time.

New Construction

Coating a new concrete floor before the first winter is the best time to do it. New builds around Reading get protected from day one.

Auto Shops

Oil, salt, and chemical resistant floors for auto shops in and around Reading. Installed over a weekend, open Monday morning on a finished floor.

Working Right Here in Reading, PA

Reading is the seat of Berks County and one of the larger cities in Pennsylvania, not a small borough, with US-222, US-422, and PA-61 running through it. William Penn’s sons laid the city out in 1748, and it was incorporated as a city in 1847. It is known for the Pagoda overlooking the city from Mount Penn, and for the old Reading Railroad, the real-world company behind the Reading Railroad space on the Monopoly board. Being a full city, Reading has a much larger mix of commercial, industrial, and residential floor work than the smaller boroughs nearby.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you actually work in Reading, PA?
Yes. FlakePro Coatings works directly in and around Reading, PA. We take jobs in this area regularly, including a recent commercial pole-barn project you can see here: Commercial Concrete Coating Contractor in Reading, PA. Call 717-419-5885 for a free estimate.
Do you handle commercial and industrial floors, not just residential garages?
Yes. Reading is a real city with real commercial and industrial space, and we bring a commercial-grade system, full crew, and the same surface-prep standards to that scale of job. See our recent pole-barn project: Commercial Concrete Coating Contractor in Reading, PA.
How long does a commercial job in Reading take?
It depends on square footage and how much crack repair or leveling the existing slab needs, but a full commercial building typically takes a few days of active work once the crew is on site. A standard residential garage is usually one day.
Is polyaspartic better than epoxy for a Reading warehouse or shop floor?
Yes. Commercial floors take forklift traffic, chemical exposure, and heavy point loads that a rigid epoxy coating is not built for. Polyaspartic handles that kind of daily use and carries a longer warranty. Full comparison here.
Can the building stay in partial use during commercial work?
Usually yes, in sections. We can often coat part of a building while another section is still in light use, then move the crew once that section has cured enough to walk on.

Commonly asked questions and answers

+1  717-419-5885
What exactly is a polyaspartic floor coating?
A polyaspartic floor coating is an advanced, two-part protective system originally developed for industrial and military use — later refined for residential and commercial concrete floors.
It’s a liquid material that chemically bonds with the surface of the concrete, creating a dense, seamless, and flexible protective layer.
Once cured, it forms a surface that’s waterproof, chemical-resistant, UV-stable, and extremely durable, yet still visually elegant.
Unlike traditional sealers or paints that simply sit on top of the surface, polyaspartic coatings penetrate deep into the concrete pores, locking out moisture and extending the life of your floor by decades.
They’re ideal for garages, patios, basements, pool decks, and driveways — anywhere you need long-term performance and low maintenance.
Every project begins with professional concrete preparation. We start by mechanically grinding the surface to remove imperfections and open up pores for maximum adhesion.
Next, any cracks or pits are filled and leveled to create a perfectly smooth base.
Then we apply a primer and base coat, followed by a full broadcast of decorative flakes — these provide texture, slip resistance, and unique color combinations.
Finally, we seal everything with a clear polyaspartic topcoat that hardens within hours.
The entire process typically takes one day, allowing you to walk on your new floor the same evening and drive on it within 24 hours.
Polyaspartic coatings form a dense cross-linked molecular structure that makes them resistant to abrasion, water, chemicals, and UV light.
This advanced chemistry prevents fading, yellowing, and cracking, even in high-traffic or outdoor environments.
In addition, polyaspartic coatings expand and contract naturally with concrete as temperatures change — preventing peeling or delamination over time.
With minimal maintenance and proper installation, you can expect 15–20 years or more of flawless performance.
Yes — completely safe.
Our coatings are low-VOC and low-odor, meaning they don’t emit harmful fumes during or after installation.
They’re ideal for basements, laundry rooms, home gyms, and other enclosed areas, as well as outdoor patios, porches, and driveways exposed to sun and weather.
Because the surface is fully sealed and non-porous, it resists moisture and prevents mold or mildew from forming — making it an excellent choice for families, pets, and allergy-sensitive homeowners.
What design options are available?
Flake Pro Coatings offers dozens of designer flake blends, from natural stone tones to modern grays and custom color combinations.
You can choose between matte, satin, or high-gloss finishes, depending on your aesthetic and functional needs.
We also provide custom blends to match your home’s exterior or interior style.
The surface can be smooth for an elegant finish or lightly textured for extra slip resistance — perfect for outdoor or poolside applications.
