Industrial Coatings

What types of industrial coatings do you apply?

We apply protective coating systems for steel structures, piping, tanks, concrete surfaces, clean rooms, and other industrial environments. Our team recommends materials based on the surface, operating conditions, and protection required.

How do you prepare surfaces before applying an industrial coating?

Preparation may include cleaning, removing failing coatings, repairing surface damage, and creating the proper profile for adhesion. The exact process depends on the substrate, its condition, and the selected coating system.

Can industrial coatings be applied while a facility remains operational?

In many cases, yes. We can plan work around active operations and coordinate access, containment, ventilation, and scheduling to help limit interference with your employees and daily processes.

Commercial Finishings

What services are included in commercial finishings?

Our commercial finishing capabilities include painting, drywall finishing, vinyl wallcovering application, rigid wall protection systems, and other details that complete and protect interior spaces.

What types of properties do you provide commercial finishings for?

We work in offices, retail spaces, healthcare facilities, industrial buildings, public facilities, and other commercial environments. Each project is planned around the property’s layout, use, and finishing requirements.

Can you match an existing paint color or finish?

We can work with specified colors and finish schedules or help identify options that coordinate with the existing space. Matching results can depend on the age, condition, and availability of the original product.

Shop-Applied Liquid Coatings

What can be coated at your liquid coating facility?

Our 49,000-square-foot, climate-controlled facility can accommodate piping, equipment, structural components, and other items that can be transported to our shop. We evaluate each project based on its size, material, and coating specifications.

What are the advantages of applying liquid coatings in a controlled facility?

A climate-controlled setting allows us to better manage temperature, humidity, surface preparation, and curing conditions. It also provides a more consistent environment for completing complex, multi-coat systems.

How do you maintain quality during shop-applied coating projects?

Our process includes careful surface preparation, controlled application, and inspections throughout the project. A NACE Level 2 certified inspector helps confirm that the finished work meets applicable quality and project requirements.

Powder Coatings

What items can be powder coated?

Powder coating can be used on many metal components, including equipment parts, frames, railings, structural pieces, and fabricated products. Item size and material must be evaluated before the project is scheduled.

How does powder coating differ from liquid coating?

Powder coating uses a dry, electrostatically applied material that is cured with heat. Liquid coatings are sprayed or otherwise applied in wet form and may be better suited to certain substrates, sizes, environments, or performance requirements.

How large is your powder coating capacity?

Our facility includes a 30-by-12-by-12-foot powder booth and oven. This capacity allows us to complete both smaller batches and many large-scale components in a controlled setting.

Floor Coatings

What types of commercial floor coatings do you install?

We install chemical-resistant commercial epoxy flooring, urethane concrete coatings, and other resinous flooring systems. We select the system based on traffic, exposure, cleaning needs, and the existing concrete.

How do I know which floor coating is right for my facility?

The right choice depends on how the space is used. We consider factors such as chemical exposure, moisture, impact, temperature changes, sanitation requirements, slip resistance, and expected traffic.

How long does a commercial floor coating take to install?

The schedule depends on the floor’s size and condition, the amount of preparation required, and the selected system’s curing time. We’ll review the installation timeline and access requirements before work begins.

Commercial & Industrial Roof Coatings & Waterproofing

What problems can roof coatings and waterproofing address?

These systems can help protect surfaces affected by water intrusion, aging materials, surface wear, and environmental exposure. We evaluate the source of the problem before recommending a coating or waterproofing approach.

Can a roof coating be applied over an existing commercial roof?

Some existing roofing systems may be suitable for coating, but the roof must first be inspected. Its material, condition, moisture levels, drainage, and existing damage will help determine whether coating is an appropriate option.

Do you waterproof surfaces other than roofs?

Yes. Our waterproofing capabilities can be used on different commercial and industrial substrates where water intrusion is a concern. The recommended material and application process will depend on the surface and its exposure conditions.

Drywall & Framing

What drywall and framing services do you provide?

Our in-house team self-performs demolition, layout, wall construction, drywall installation, and finishing. Keeping these services together helps us coordinate each phase and maintain clearer control over scheduling and workmanship.

Do you provide drywall and framing for remodeling and new construction?

Yes. We complete framing and drywall work for commercial renovations, buildouts, additions, and ground-up construction. We adapt the process to the building plans and the condition of the existing space.

Can you work in an occupied commercial facility?

Many drywall and framing projects can be completed in active facilities. We coordinate work areas, scheduling, access, and dust-control measures based on the building’s daily operations and safety needs.

Facility Maintenance

What types of facility maintenance needs can you address?

We help businesses handle repairs, surface maintenance, building improvements, and other needs that develop as a facility ages. The scope can be based on an immediate concern or a longer-term maintenance plan.

Can you help us create an ongoing maintenance strategy?

Yes. We can assess current conditions, identify areas that may require attention, and help organize priorities based on safety, performance, appearance, and available scheduling.

Do you handle both planned maintenance and urgent repairs?

We assist with scheduled improvements and time-sensitive facility concerns. Availability and response time depend on the type, location, and size of the work, so contact us as soon as an issue is discovered.

General Contracting

What types of general contracting projects do you manage?

Martin Specialty Constructors manages commercial and industrial renovations, buildouts, additions, ground-up construction, and other facility projects. We coordinate the work from early planning through the final walkthrough.

What does it mean that you self-perform key phases of construction?

Self-performing means our own crews complete certain portions of the work instead of assigning every task to outside subcontractors. This gives us greater control over quality, scheduling, communication, and jobsite coordination.

Will I have one point of contact during my project?

We establish clear lines of communication so you know who to contact with questions, decisions, and updates. The project team coordinates responsibilities and helps keep information moving throughout construction.
