Services
Commercial Painting
Our commercial painting services address both interior and exterior needs for businesses and public structures. We use high-durability paints and coatings specifically formulated for commercial environments, ensuring long-lasting protection against wear and weather. Our team follows strict safety protocols while maintaining project timelines for minimal operational disruption.
Roof Coatings
We apply fluid-applied roof coatings that create waterproof barriers while improving energy efficiency through solar reflectance. These elastomeric coatings extend roof lifespans by preventing cracks and leaks, particularly effective for flat or low-slope commercial roofs in coastal environments.
Parking Lot Services
Our comprehensive pavement services include seal coating, striping, ADA-compliant markings, and crack sealing for commercial lots. We use high-visibility paints and durable sealants that withstand vehicle traffic while maintaining safety standards for pedestrian access.
Lead Renovation
We provide EPA-certified lead-safe renovation services for pre-1978 structures, following strict containment and disposal procedures. Our state-certified supervisor oversees all aspects of lead abatement, including surface preparation, HEPA vacuuming, and post-renovation clearance testing for residential and commercial properties.
Coatings Removal
We employ chemical and mechanical methods to remove old coatings while preserving underlying surfaces. This includes graffiti removal from concrete monuments using specialized solvents, and industrial coating stripping that prepares substrates for new protective finishes without substrate damage.
