Whether you need aggressive coating removal, delicate surface preparation, or a durable protective finish — we have the equipment and experience to handle it.

Surface Preparation That Sets the Standard

BLASTING SERVICES

Proper surface prep is the foundation of every long-lasting finish. We offer multiple blasting methods so the right approach is used for the right material.

Abrasive Blasting (Sandblasting)

Best for: Heavy coatings, rust, scale, structural steel, industrial equipment

Abrasive blasting removes paint, corrosion, mill scale, and contaminants from metal surfaces. It creates the proper surface profile needed for strong coating adhesion.

Ideal for:

  • Structural steel
  • Industrial frames
  • Heavy machinery parts
  • Fabricated components
  • Agricultural equipment

This method is designed for durability and performance — especially when preparing parts for painting or powder coating.

Plastic Media Blasting

Best for: Sensitive substrates, precision parts, aluminum, composites

Plastic media blasting is a less aggressive method used when substrate protection is critical. It removes coatings without damaging softer materials.

Ideal for:

  • Aluminum parts
  • Automotive components
  • Delicate assemblies
  • Restoration projects
  • Equipment requiring controlled stripping

This method is excellent when you need coating removal without surface warping or excessive material removal.

Dry Ice Blasting

Best for: Equipment cleaning, sensitive machinery, minimal residue projects

Dry ice blasting uses compressed air and solid CO₂ pellets to remove contaminants without secondary waste. The pellets sublimate on impact, leaving no abrasive residue behind.

Ideal for:

  • Industrial equipment cleaning
  • Electrical components
  • Production machinery
  • Projects requiring minimal cleanup

This method is efficient and reduces downtime while maintaining a clean process.

INDUSTRIAL PAINTING

Durable Finishes That Protect

After proper surface preparation, high-performance coatings are applied to protect against corrosion, wear, and environmental exposure.

We provide industrial painting for:

  • Fabricated metal components
  • Equipment frames
  • Industrial machinery
  • Structural steel
  • Custom projects

Our team ensures surfaces are properly prepared and coatings are applied for long-term durability and performance.

Whether your project requires functional coating protection or a clean professional finish, we deliver consistent results.

POWDER COATING

Tough. Clean. Long-Lasting.

Powder coating provides a durable, uniform finish that resists chipping, scratching, fading, and wear.

Powder coating is ideal for:

  • Metal parts
  • Racks and frames
  • Industrial components
  • Decorative metal pieces
  • Fabricated assemblies

Benefits of powder coating include:

  • Strong corrosion resistance
  • Even coverage
  • Professional appearance
  • Long service life
  • Reduced maintenance

If you need a finish that performs under demanding conditions, powder coating is often the best solution.
