Frequently Asked Questions
For most structural steel applications, we recommend a zinc-rich primer for cathodic corrosion protection, an epoxy intermediate coat for barrier protection, and a polyurethane topcoat for UV resistance and color retention. The exact system depends on the environment, exposure conditions, and project requirements.
We regularly paint steel structures in occupied buildings — warehouses, factories, and commercial spaces. We use low-VOC coatings, proper ventilation, and containment to minimize disruption. Work can be scheduled during off-hours, weekends, or in phased sections to keep your facility operational.
Most structural steel coating systems last 15 to 25 years depending on environment and maintenance. Interior steel in dry environments lasts longer; exterior steel exposed to weather, chemicals, or marine conditions may need recoating sooner. We recommend periodic inspections to catch issues early.
Yes. We paint and coat steel structures both indoors and outdoors — from interior steel beams and metal deck ceilings to exterior structural steel, facades, and equipment. Each environment gets the right coating system for its specific exposure conditions.
What Our Clients Say
“Markley Precision Company was easy to work with and the quality of their work is second to none. I have used them on three separate projects and have been very pleased with the quality of work each time. No job seems to be too big or too small. I have used them to blast and paint a 30,000 gallon propane tank, and to blast and paint our vertical bulk storage vessels for nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. They've even done work for me on the Lake Erie Islands, as well, which presented logistical challenges, but MPC didn't miss a beat. I would recommend MPC 100 out of 100 times.”
Matt Drennen
“Very happy with the work completed so far with MPC. Last year, I had them paint 5 of our 30,000 gallon bullet tanks. The work was completed quickly and professionally. With a years worth of age on them now, they still look as good as new! I was so pleased with their work on the tanks, I hired them to complete an even larger, more complex project blasting and recoating a natural gas processing mechanical refrigeration unit. Even when some concerns came up, they quickly remediated the situation. Extremely happy with the work they've performed!”
Paul Teeters
