Ever wondered what it takes to restore the East Coast's largest marine crane?

We just completed a massive restoration project on a 500-ton fully revolving crane—the biggest of its kind on the East Coast!

This beast works in brutal saltwater conditions, so protecting it from corrosion isn't just important... It's essential.

Our team handled everything from start to finish: removing all the old coating and rust, blasting it clean to bare metal, then applying a three-layer marine-grade coating system designed specifically for saltwater environments.

The trickiest part? Managing the logistics of working with crane components the size of a house, coordinating all the phases perfectly, and making sure everything cured properly before the next step.

The result? A crane that's protected for years to come and ready to keep working in some of the toughest conditions imaginable.

Sometimes the biggest projects need the most attention to detail!

Behind every massive distribution center is a team that makes sure everything is protected and ready to perform.

We recently completed a huge warehouse coating project for Target's new 1.4 million-square-foot distribution center in Hudson, NH—and we only had 3 months to finish before winter hit!

Our crew pressure-washed and coated 60,000 square feet of walls, both inside and out, plus 451 massive steel support columns. That's nearly 10,000 gallons of paint applied with precision while working around active construction.

The challenge? Tight deadlines, weather constraints, and coordinating work across multiple zones. The result? A facility ready to handle years of heavy use, delivered on time and within budget.

Sometimes the biggest projects need the most careful attention to detail.

Ever wonder how they keep Gillette Stadium looking pristine while the Patriots are in season?

After 25 years of New England winters, the stadium's iconic blue steel was looking pretty rough. Salt, snow, and endless freeze-thaw cycles had taken their toll.

But here's the tricky part – you can't exactly shut down Gillette Stadium for a few weeks to get the work done!

The challenge:

Restore structural steel while thousands of fans walk through every day, events are happening constantly, and the Patriots need their home field ready.

Our approach:

Work smarter, not harder. We scheduled everything around game days and events, worked overnight when possible, and created safe work zones that didn't disrupt the fan experience.

The best part? Fans walking through during our project had no idea major restoration work was happening right above them. That's what we call doing it right.

Now, when you see that beautiful Gillette blue gleaming on game day, you'll know the behind-the-scenes work that keeps it looking championship-ready! 🏆

GO PATS!

Ever walked into a space and thought, "This place has seen better days"? That's exactly what happened at EQT Exeter's manufacturing facility.

Layers of old, peeling paint made their space look tired and outdated—not exactly the vibe you want when installing brand new, high-tech equipment!

But here's the cool part: instead of spending a fortune stripping everything down to bare walls, we got creative.

We partnered with paint experts to develop a special coating that could bond right over the cleaned existing surfaces.

The transformation was incredible!

What was once a dark, worn-out space is now bright, clean, and professional — perfectly matching their state-of-the-art equipment.

And the best part? We did it on time and on budget! 💪

Sometimes the smartest solutions are the most creative ones.

Ever wonder what it takes to give sea lions and penguins the perfect home?

We just wrapped up an incredible project at Mystic Aquarium, restoring the habitats where these amazing marine animals live, play, and interact with thousands of visitors every year!

The concrete pools had seen better days after years of water exposure, but our team worked their magic with specialized marine-safe coatings that will keep these habitats beautiful and safe for years to come.

Imagine the careful planning required – we had to work around the animals' schedules, use only materials that won't harm marine life, and minimize downtime so families could still visit their favorite exhibits!

There's something special about knowing our work helps create safe, stunning environments where people can connect with marine life and learn about conservation. Every project like this supports the important work these facilities do for ocean education and wildlife protection.

You know those massive water park resorts that always look pristine? There's a team working hard to keep everything looking amazing — even the mechanical systems you never see!

We recently did a fun project at Great Wolf Lodge.

We completed touch-up work on their interior mechanical systems, which involved climbing around with manlifts and safety gear while families were enjoying their vacations just a few floors below.

Talk about precision work!

The best part? When a drone inspection (yes, drones!) spotted a few tiny areas we missed, we came right back to make it perfect.

No excuses, just results.

The contractor's feedback said it all: "They won't be hesitating to hire us in the future."

Sometimes it's the behind-the-scenes work that makes the biggest difference in creating those magical family experiences!
