QP1 - Painting Contractor Certification

Qualified for field application of protective coatings to industrial structures, including bridges, tanks, and infrastructure.

QP2 - Hazardous Coatings & Lead Removal

Our company-level QP2 accreditation qualifies us for removal of hazardous coatings (lead, chromium, cadmium) and all coating types through abrasive blasting, power tool cleaning, and chemical stripping with full environmental containment.
