Industrial & Commercial Coating Prep in Vancouver

Blast surfaces to the exact profile your coating system requires.

Built for Vancouver

Commercial Coating Prep for Vancouver's Industrial Buildings

Coatings on Metro Vancouver's industrial steel face constant marine damp, and they only last if the surface under them was prepped to spec. Skip the profile and even a premium coating peels early, especially on structural steel and strata-building components.

We blast to the anchor profile your coatings supplier specifies, contain the work zone to keep production safe, and carry WorkSafe BC standing with a letter of clearance for commercial sites.

From mezzanine framing to warehouse structural steel, we tailor the prep to your coating system and schedule. Ask us for a free written estimate.

Common Questions

Industrial & Commercial Coating Prep — Frequently Asked Questions

How much does industrial coating prep cost in Vancouver?

Commercial blasting often runs around C$100–$135 hourly including media, or in the $4–$12 per square foot range depending on the steel and access. Surface area, profile spec, and containment needs drive the total. We provide a detailed free written estimate before any work begins.

How long does a commercial coating prep job take?

Timeline depends on the surface area, the required profile, and how much containment the site needs around production. We set up a realistic schedule with you, work around your operations where we can, and confirm the timeline in your written estimate.

What does your coating prep process cover?

We meet to confirm the spec and provide a free written estimate, mask and contain the work area, blast the steel to the specified profile, then clean up all media and debris. We can prime bare steel promptly so it holds until your coating crew moves in.

Can you hit the surface profile our coatings supplier requires?

Yes — we blast to the anchor profile your coatings supplier specifies, since the coating's adhesion and service life depend on it. We confirm the target profile up front and match the abrasive media and pressure to reach it consistently across the steel.

Do you provide WorkSafe BC documentation for commercial sites?

Yes — we're registered and in good standing with WorkSafe BC, and a letter of clearance is available for commercial and industrial projects that require it before work starts. We handle that paperwork so your site sign-off goes smoothly.
