Competitive Rates. Superior Quality & Care.

Jergens Painting & Blasting Division strives to deliver competitive rates, high standards for quality and integrity, and solution-driven individuals to provide our customers with total job satisfaction. Customers have consistently noted that our quality and the care we take when handling finished products are superior to other coatings contractors they’ve worked with previously.

We have over 50 combined years of experience in coating — mostly industrial and commercial. Our Mendon, MI facility features a 27′ × 13′ Garmat spray booth with exhaust and baking capabilities, keeping dust and particles out of the air and off coated surfaces for a consistently clean finish.

A NACE-certified coatings inspector with over 18 years in the industry is on staff — bringing specification knowledge, quality testing capability, and the expertise to meet the most demanding coating applications.

Surface Preparation

Blasting Services

Proper surface preparation is the foundation of any durable coating system. We offer three blasting methods to match your substrate, application, and environmental requirements.

Dry Blasting

Our primary blasting method — high-velocity abrasive media propelled against the surface to remove rust, scale, old coatings, and mill scale. Produces the anchor profile required for long-term coating adhesion. Suitable for pipe, structural steel, fabricated components, and equipment.

Vapor Blasting

Vapor blasting (wet blasting) combines water with abrasive media to dramatically reduce airborne dust — ideal for confined spaces, environmentally sensitive locations, or applications requiring a finer, smoother surface profile. Produces a clean, peened surface without embedding abrasive contamination.

Internal Pipe Blasting

Internal pipe blasting cleans and profiles the interior bore of pipe before lining or coating application — essential for corrosion protection of water, chemical, and process pipe systems. We have the equipment and technique to blast pipe I.D.s across a range of diameters.

Surface Preparation

A Coating For Every Application

We work with a broad range of coating types — selected based on the service environment, substrate, exposure conditions, and customer specification. Every coating system starts with the right surface prep and ends with an inspection.

Urethane

Excellent UV resistance, color retention, and chemical resistance. Ideal for exterior structural steel, piping, and equipment exposed to the elements.

Epoxy

Outstanding adhesion and chemical resistance. Widely used for industrial pipe, tanks, and equipment in chemically aggressive environments.

Acrylic

Water-based option offering good flexibility, color range, and ease of application — used for commercial and light industrial applications.

Enamel

Hard, tough finish with good heat and chemical resistance. Standard for industrial machinery, piping systems, and equipment finishes.

Latex

Water-based latex coatings for commercial and architectural applications — clean application, low VOC, and a wide range of finishes available.

Mascoat™

Insulating paint that reduces surface temperature and condensation. Used on mechanical equipment and piping where thermal management is a goal alongside corrosion protection.

Quality Assurance

NACE-Certified Inspection on Every Job

Our NACE-certified coatings inspector has been in the coating industry for over 18 years — bringing specification development, coating system selection, surface preparation verification, and application monitoring expertise to every project.

Efficiency You Can Plan Around

~1 Week

Typical turnaround time to blast and paint pipe, depending on size of job — so your schedules stay on track.

Care & Handling

Our customers have noted that our quality and the care we take when handling finished products are superior to other coatings contractors they have worked with previously. A freshly blasted and coated surface is only as good as how it’s handled — we treat every piece like it matters, because it does.

Why Jergens

What Sets Us Apart

We’re not just a paint crew. We’re a full mechanical contractor with in-house blasting, a certified inspector, a controlled spray booth, and direct integration with our fabrication shop.

NACE Inspector On Staff

Not contracted out — our NACE-certified inspector is on staff with 18+ years in the industry, providing specification expertise and quality assurance on every project.

Controlled Spray Booth

Our 27′ × 13′ Garmat booth with exhaust and baking capability keeps dust and particles out during application — producing a cleaner, more consistent finish than open-air coating.

~1 Week Turnaround

Our efficient blast-and-paint workflow delivers a typical turnaround of approximately one week on pipe — so your project schedule doesn’t wait on coatings.

Integrated with Fabrication

Our painting and blasting division is directly integrated with the Jergens fabrication shop — meaning pipe and components can be blasted, coated, and shipped without ever leaving the Jergens campus.

Superior Care & Handling

Customers consistently rate our care in handling finished products above other coatings contractors. A perfect coating destroyed in transport or handling is worthless — we protect the work from start to delivery.

Industrial & Commercial Scope

50+ combined years of experience across industrial, and commercial — with coating knowledge that spans the full range of mediums and surface types.
