Services
Industrial Coatings
Our industrial coating services protect critical infrastructure with advanced epoxy and corrosion-resistant solutions. Specializing in oil and gas pipelines, refineries, and petrochemical facilities, we apply coatings that extend asset life while meeting strict safety standards. Certified technicians use plural component spray systems and SPC/DENSO approved methods for optimal adhesion and durability in harsh environments.
Commercial Painting
We deliver long-lasting commercial painting solutions for hotels, restaurants, and institutional buildings. Our self-cleaning acrylic coatings reduce maintenance costs while maintaining aesthetic appeal. With aerial lift access up to 150 feet and OSHA-certified scaffolding crews, we handle complex exterior projects efficiently while maintaining strict environmental controls during application.
Fireproofing
Our fireproofing services use Carboline-certified intumescent coatings to protect steel structures in industrial and commercial settings. Specialized crews apply cementitious and spray-applied fire-resistive materials to structural components, meeting building code requirements for fire resistance ratings up to 4 hours while maintaining VOC compliance and aesthetic standards.
Sandblasting Services
Precision sandblasting and vapor blasting services prepare surfaces for coating applications in our 6,000 sq ft facility. We use controlled abrasion techniques to achieve optimal surface profiles on pipe, vessels, and industrial equipment, ensuring proper coating adhesion while maintaining air quality through advanced filtration systems.
Renewable Energy Coatings
Specialized coating systems protect wind turbines against corrosion in both onshore and offshore environments. Our certified applicators use plural component spray technology for turbine towers and blades, applying protective coatings that maintain structural integrity while enhancing operational efficiency through reduced maintenance requirements.
