Marine
Protective coatings for a salt-air environment.
Marine facilities are the hardest environment a coating can face: salt, humidity, sun and water on every surface. McAllister prepares and coats metal buildings, structures and service areas with systems selected for corrosion protection, and finishes the offices, ship stores and storage buildings that go with them.
- Corrosion-resistant coating systems

Facilities
Marine facilities we work in.
Each facility type has its own page with the surfaces, schedule and services that apply.
Marine and Boat Facilities
Marinas, boat storage and service buildings live with salt air, humidity and constant moisture.
How we approach it
Preparation decides how long it lasts.
In a marine environment the coating system is only as good as the preparation underneath it. Surfaces are cleaned of salt and contamination, rust and failed coatings are removed, and primers and finishes are selected for the exposure.
Service and storage buildings get durable floor coatings and washable walls; offices and ship stores are finished for daily use.
Services
Most often scoped for marine.
Commercial Coatings
Protective coating systems for structural steel, metal panels, masonry, concrete, tanks and overhead structure, selected for the exposure and applied over proper preparation.
Exterior Surfaces & Moisture Protection
Exterior painting, surface preparation, joint sealing and protective coatings for commercial and industrial buildings, planned to keep water out of the envelope and the building looking cared for.

Questions
Marine questions.
Still have a question? The office is open Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM.
Can you work while the marine facility stays open?
Usually, yes. Most projects are phased or scheduled after hours so the facility keeps operating. The sequence, access and containment are agreed before the crew arrives.
Do you work for general contractors or directly for owners?
Both. McAllister bids and carries the Division 9 finish scope for general contractors, and works directly for owners and facility managers on existing buildings.
Where do you take on this work?
McAllister is based in Slocomb, Alabama and works across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee. Send the location and scope with your quote request and we will confirm whether it fits our schedule.
