Paint Platoon doesn’t paint commercial planes yet, but maybe soon, thanks to their hard work painting commercial and industrial properties since 1984. Paint Platoon USA’s marketing director, Alan Zuckerman, isn’t just a sales rep he’s a marketer who means business. In 2009, he drove to Cary Grove to meet Scott, a commercial painting expert and former US Marine, and his wife Anna, who keeps operations running smoothly every day. Alan delivered on his promise to help grow their web traffic.

After many commercial flights as a sales director, Alan doubled revenue for San Diego medical provider Aeromedevac.com. He credits his drive to his father, Coach Mark Zuckerman, who dreamed of being a pilot, served in the National Guard, and was the varsity football and wrestling coach for the Sullivan Tigers in the Chicago Public Schools.

Speaking of airplanes, the team just finished painting and labeling a shipping warehouse at O’Hare with PPG-Permacrete 4-22. Next time you’re flying out of O’Hare, look for their work.

With the fireworks fading and football season coming up, it’s time to think tough like the Monsters of the Midway.

Paint Platoon USA has been delivering championship-caliber work since 1984. That’s right, we were getting the job done before the Chicago Bears even brought home the big trophy in ’85. We like to think maybe we inspired them.

From concrete tilt-up repaints to freshening up your lot’s light poles, we handle it all industrial, retail, healthcare, offices, and more. And when it comes to epoxy floor striping, we know that clear floor lines, just like a clear path to the goal line, keep your team moving safely and efficiently.

We’re also Monsters of the Midway, trusted by companies since ’84 to keep buildings strong, sharp, and ready for game time.

Go Bears! 🐻🏈

Happy 4th of July from Paint Platoon USA!

What Our Customers Are Saying!

“After using Platoon on a large commercial property I oversee we were blown away by the attention to detail the crew had. I had the pleasure of communicating mostly with Scott who goes above and beyond to make things right.

The building has a large national tenant occupying and anyone in the industry knows it can be tough to do a job with the obstacles that come along with such tenant.

These guys performed!!”

Thank you, George, for trusting us with your commercial painting needs!
