Concrete floor coating in Amherst
Amherst is a college town three times over, with the university and two colleges inside the town line, and that single fact shapes the housing more than anything else we could say about it. It is twenty seven miles north of the shop, which puts it firmly in scheduled territory.

What Amherst concrete tends to need
A large share of the housing here is rented rather than owner occupied, and rental property asks a different question of a floor. A landlord is not buying a showpiece, they are buying something that survives tenants, cleans between turnovers and does not need doing again in three years. Against that, the older houses near the town common have original basements from long before anyone poured a vapor barrier.
For rental property the timing usually decides the job. The window here is the summer, between the end of one lease year and the start of the next, and it books up early. If you own units in town, ask in the spring rather than in August.
Every floor here gets the same build
Diamond grinding back to open concrete, crack and spall repair, a polyurea basecoat, flake broadcast to full refusal, then two polyaspartic topcoats. 30 to 40 mils over your slab, with a 15 year written warranty.
