Paint is a widely used material to preserve, waterproof and add beauty to numerous surfaces in a wide variety of applications.

We can make a simple paint application last by using proper material, preparation and product. Our exposure and expertise involves a vast variety of paint, applications and services.

Our skilled craftsmen perform ariel work, climb towers, steel tanks, antennas, masts and flagpoles to apply industrial surface preparations, bonding, coatings and paints. Our painting process consists of numerous preparation and cleaning methods, to achieve a cleaned and properly prepared surface. Then primer and paint can be applied to achieve longevity.

GoldLeaf:
This process is applied to crosses, weathervanes, domes, flagpole ornaments, eagles and balls, as well as, artwork and numerous other surfaces.

The gilding process consists of an extensive amount of surface preparation to encapsulate the surface from the exterior elements. In a climate controlled area, sizing is installed to the surface. Then 23k gold leaf is hand laid on the surface. Once proper drying and curing time has elapsed, barnishing, polishing and cleaning of the surfaces are performed to achieve maximum luster and outstanding beauty to the structure. Finally the structure is protected, wrapped and transported to be reinstalled to your facility.

Industrial Painting:
We perform industrial sandblasting encapsulation and the sandblasting process, then priming, bonding and painting of these type surfaces.

Metal Painting:
We apply metal primers to interior and exterior metal surfaces and galvanized surfaces, so that the finish coat of paint will adhere properly and have a overall uniform appearance.

Wood Painting:
We perform surface preparation and repairs to millwork and weathered wooden segments. Once these surfaces have been repaired, rebuilt and the surfaces prepared, applicable sealants such as, elastic, flexible, waterproof sealants can be applied to dissimilar materials, which will preserve these wooden surfaces. Then the primer and paint can be applied to the surfaces, as specified.

Historical Painting:
We perform work for government historical agencies, historical societies, art commissions and architects. We extract samples for analysis, product consistency, texture and color. Once this has been determined, proper surface preparation, prime and paint will be applied. First providing on site samples to make formal approval of exact color and texture match. Once the final approval is made, the final application of surface preparation and paint can be applied.

We perform containment and air monitoring procedures in the lead abatement process. Our trained personnel will properly remove and dispose of any lead contained paint or coatings, which is a hazard to the environment and humans.

Masonry Waterproof Coatings: After masonry repairs are made to structures, we can apply numerous masonry paints and coatings to achieve different textures, and colors, as well as, to make the masonry waterproof.
