At Long Painting Company, performance, precision, and planning are at the heart of everything we do, especially within our Industrial Group, a specialized team that handles some of the most challenging and high-stakes coating projects across the West Coast.
A Legacy of Complex Projects
The Industrial Group was formed in the 1980s, born from a strategic need to diversify our services in response to changing market conditions. From that pivotal moment, the team quickly became an essential part of Long Painting’s growth—and a trusted partner on many of the region’s most iconic and demanding industrial projects.
Over the years, our Industrial Group has played a key role in landmark work, including:
- The Golden Gate Bridge
- Portland’s St. John’s Bridge
- The Seattle Kingdome
- The USS Kitty Hawk, USS Nimitz
- Numerous hydroelectric, petroleum, wastewater and chemical facilities throughout the Pacific Northwest
These projects helped define who we are: a company that’s ready to meet high expectations with expert planning, field-tested skills, and a relentless focus on safety and quality.
Experience Meets Energy
Today, the Industrial Group continues to thrive—driven by an energetic and experienced team that actively pursues new work in our core markets. But we don’t just chase projects—we prepare for them long before any work begins.
One of the most important ways we maintain the high standards set by those before us is through our bidding and pre-construction process. Before submitting a proposal, our team evaluates every opportunity in detail, discussing means, methods, and risk factors to ensure that each job is not only winnable—but winnable with excellence.
“I like the uniqueness of each project,” says Gio Rodriguez – Estimator, reflecting the team’s passion for the variety and complexity that industrial work brings.
“Each estimate is a puzzle with its own specific solution,” adds Jessica Hoppe – Project Manager, highlighting the thoughtful and collaborative approach our team brings to every opportunity.
You could say that at Long Painting, we start planning for success before we even bid the job. That proactive mindset has become a cornerstone of how we operate and one of the most valuable tools for passing institutional knowledge from one generation to the next.
