Our refinishing process features advanced surface preparation, environmentally conscious cleaning systems, and premium coatings applied pure and uncut—never diluted or repackaged. This approach ensures superior adhesion, a smooth factory-like finish, and extended durability for bathtubs, tile, and porcelain surfaces.

We use an industry-leading primer system developed through extensive testing, creating a strong bond between your existing fixtures and our professional coatings.

Historically, the area was settled in 1822 by the Jones family at the southern end of the lake, initially known as Jonestown or Jones Pond due to the settlers' surname, before being renamed Lake Ariel following the establishment of its post office. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Lake Ariel gained prominence as a tourist destination with the development of Lake Ariel Park, an amusement venue that attracted up to 10,000 visitors on summer weekends and featured attractions such as a rollercoaster, carousel, waterslide, boat rentals, and even airplane rides, drawing city dwellers seeking respite in the Poconos. The park's heyday reflected the region's growth as a recreational hub, bolstered by the clear waters of the lake and nearby natural features, though it eventually declined with changing tourism trends. Today, the village maintains a quiet, rural character while supporting local education through the Western Wayne School District, which includes EverGreen Elementary (in Lake Ariel), Western Wayne Middle, and Western Wayne High School. Demographically, Lake Ariel's population stands at 13,225 as of the 2019–2023 American Community Survey 5-year estimates, with a median age of 52 years, reflecting a mature community of primarily White residents (95.8%), alongside small percentages of Asian (0.8%), two or more races (2.6%), and other groups. The median household income is $73,209 annually, supporting a lifestyle centered on outdoor activities, proximity to state parks, and easy access to nearby urban centers like Scranton (about 22 miles south). Economically, the area benefits from its location in Wayne County, which emphasizes agriculture, outdoor recreation, and economic development initiatives, though Lake Ariel itself focuses more on residential and tourism-related pursuits rather than heavy industry.
