About Us
Since 1991, Custom Coatings has covered the southeast with experience, expert product choices, and an attention to detail like no other painting and coatings contractor. We work beyond paint as a one-stop building envelope service, executing all types of coating applications from waterproofing to equipment painting, flooring to roof coatings, interior walls to exterior, for residential and retail, for industrial, multi-family and homeowners.
History
In 1991, Joe Brindle and his Dad Glenn “Pop” Brindle built Custom Coatings side-by-side: a successful businessman and a kid fresh out of college with summers of commercial painting experience under his belt and a vision of a better painting company in his sights. In the early years, the team focused on new industrial construction, painting new houses, and working for general contractors.
Eventually however, the race-to-the-bottom, highest quality/lowest price mentality of the GC business pushed us to reassess our business model – and the good we could do for our customers. Since then, we’ve built Custom Coatings on education, informed product choices, excellent teamwork, expert technicians, and a dedication to detail that borders on excess.
We don’t leave a job until it’s right.
We do what we say.
And we never forget that we are only as good as our people.
The Educated Coatings Contractor
We are a painting and coatings contractor with a focus on education. Why? Because there’s a lot of tech in a single gallon of paint, and understanding the benefits and limitations, cost and performance of any coatings product is vital to making the right choice for any situation. So, we study the science, understand our products’ brand promises, and pass that information along to our customers so that they can be better advocates for their buildings, whether they end up working with us…or not.
The Custom Coatings Way
Engage fully and personally with every client by listening and surveying every detail of the project.
Educate ourselves and our clients on the best choices for their project as well as what’s expected in terms of outcome.
Create detailed proposals and meticulous scopes of work.
Transform places with good work and build repeat relationships with good communication.
