Our Most Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who is Peak Industrial Coatings and what is your background?

Peak Industrial Coatings is a fourth-generation industrial painting contractor with over 60 years of dedicated industry experience. Founded in the 1950s working with local distilleries, we have grown into a trusted leader in asset preservation. We specialize in high-performance maintenance coatings that protect critical steel, concrete, and fiberglass infrastructure from severe corrosion and operational wear.

2. What core industries do you serve?

We deliver specialized coating solutions designed for demanding industrial environments. Our primary sectors include Food & Distilleries (requiring FDA-approved, washdown-resistant coatings), Chemical Plants (epoxy and urethane systems to mitigate chemical corrosion), Oil & Gas Facilities, Water & Wastewater Treatment, and General Manufacturing plants looking to extend the lifespan of their physical assets.

3. What types of surfaces do you treat and coat?

Our expertise spans three main substrates:

  • Steel: Structural steel, bridges, piping, tank linings, turbines, and fireproofing.
  • Concrete: Secondary containment, industrial and food-grade floor coatings, trench restoration, and non-skid surfaces.
  • Fiberglass: Protective overcoating and field repair of process vessels and piping systems.

4. Why is surface preparation so important, and what methods do you use?

A coating system will only perform as well as the surface beneath it. Proper surface preparation is the most crucial factor for long-term adhesion and preventing premature failure. To ensure maximum value, we offer advanced prep techniques tailored to your facility, including sandblasting, concrete grinding, shotblasting, wet abrasive blasting, sponge-jetting, and non-destructive dry ice blasting.

5. What is your company’s safety record?

Safety is a foundational pillar at Peak Coatings. We maintain an exemplary safety record, reflected in our outstanding Experience Modification Rate (EMR) history, consistently tracking well below the industry average at 0.79 or lower. Our crews meet stringent safety protocols and help clients enhance workplace safety by applying safety markings, non-skid floors, and high-visibility handrail paint.

6. Will our facility have to shut down during the coating process?

Not necessarily. We understand that facility downtime is highly costly, so we approach coating as a proactive maintenance task that can be scheduled around your active operations. Our experienced teams frequently work alongside existing plant processes to complete projects without requiring operational shutdowns, keeping your production line moving while protecting your assets.

7. How long do industrial coatings last, and do they require ongoing maintenance?

Lifespan depends heavily on environmental exposure and care. We emphasize the importance of maintaining your maintenance coatings. Simple, proactive steps—such as regular cleaning, localized spot-patching, or a timely topcoat refresh—can dramatically extend the lifespan of your system for years, saving significant capital compared to the cost of a total re-coating project.

8. How can we get a project estimate or specify a coating?
