Services
Industrial Painting
Our industrial painting services deliver durable, code-compliant finishes for manufacturing facilities, power plants, and warehouses. We use high-performance coatings and advanced application techniques to ensure long-term protection against corrosion and environmental factors. Our team follows AMPP standards for surface preparation and coating application.
Abrasive Blasting
We offer wet, dry, and low-dust abrasive blasting for surface restoration. Our vapor blasting and Sponge-Jet technologies reduce dust by 92% while removing corrosion and old coatings. This prepares surfaces for optimal paint adhesion while minimizing environmental impact and containment requirements.
Power Washing
Our 250F hot water power washing removes contaminants without harsh chemicals. This method safely cleans concrete, steel, and masonry surfaces while preserving substrates. We use mobile units with onboard water tanks for projects in locations without accessible water sources.
Graffiti Removal
McCahill employs eco-friendly cleaners and hot water pressure washing to remove graffiti from brick, metal, and concrete. We apply graffiti barrier coatings to prevent future incidents. Our techniques protect substrates while restoring surfaces to their original condition with minimal disruption to clients.
Waterproofing
We apply breathable water-resistant sealers to protect brick and stone buildings. Our process includes contamination removal, substrate repair, and commercial-grade sealing that prevents water infiltration while allowing walls to breathe. This reduces mold growth and extends building lifespan.
