Q: What types of buildings and industries do you serve?
Our clients span warehouses, manufacturing plants, hospitals, food processing facilities, parking garages, and high-rise buildings. We offer tailored coating systems to meet the demands of complex, safety-sensitive, or regulated environments.

Q: How does Alpine prepare surfaces before applying paint or coatings?
We use chemical-free water blasting (hydroblasting) to remove dirt, mold, failing coatings, and rust, ensuring a clean surface for optimal coating adhesion. This eco-friendly method avoids harmful chemicals while delivering effective, long-lasting results.

Q: What does ‘asset preservation’ mean, and how do you support it?
Asset preservation focuses on protecting structures and equipment before serious deterioration occurs. Our approach includes routine restoration, sealing, and protective coatings that help extend the useful life of your infrastructure and minimize costly repairs.

Q: How do industrial and commercial painting differ?
Commercial painting is often centered around aesthetics and customer appeal, such as in retail or office spaces. Industrial painting, in contrast, is engineered for performance—providing protection from chemicals, abrasion, moisture, and extreme heat.

Q: What are the benefits of epoxy flooring?
Epoxy flooring offers a seamless, highly durable surface that’s easy to clean and resistant to heavy wear, moisture, and chemicals. It enhances visibility through its reflective finish and can include safety striping, color zones, or non-slip textures.

Q: What is the typical lifespan of an epoxy floor?
When properly installed, epoxy floors can last 10 to 20 years, depending on foot traffic, maintenance, and exposure to harsh elements. In heavy-use industrial areas, periodic recoating may be recommended to maintain performance and safety.

Q: What is electrostatic painting, and when is it used?
Electrostatic painting involves applying a charged spray of paint particles that are attracted to metal surfaces, ensuring even coverage with minimal overspray. It’s ideal for lockers, railings, machinery, and other detailed metal structures needing a clean, durable finish.

Q: What kinds of concrete repair work do you handle?
We provide services like crack repair, joint sealing, spall restoration, and surface patching for aging or damaged concrete. Using epoxy injection, cementitious repairs, and protective coatings, we help restore both structural integrity and appearance.

Q: Do you offer painting or lining for storage tanks?
Yes, we paint and line interior and exterior tanks using specialty coatings such as polyurea, epoxy, or urethane. We also apply food-safe linings that meet FDA or USDA requirements for potable water, chemicals, and other sensitive contents.

Q: How long does it take to complete a typical project?
The timeline depends on the size and scope—a small epoxy floor might take just a few days, while larger structures like tanks or high-rises may take several weeks. After a site visit, we provide a clear project schedule with timelines and expectations.
