Industrial painting, coatings and specialized cleaning for facilities across Mississippi, covered by full-time Kelly crews from the Jackson service center.
Mississippi is a critical hub for the maritime, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing sectors in the Deep South. From the massive shipbuilding and maritime facilities in Pascagoula and Gulfport to the automotive assembly corridors in Canton and Blue Springs, Mississippi’s industrial infrastructure is subject to extreme humidity, heat, and coastal salt-air exposure. These high-stress environments require technical surface protection specifically engineered for corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and long-term durability.
Kelly Industrial Services provides the professional-grade painting and specialized cleaning necessary to protect these vital investments. Our Mississippi crews are 100% in-house, ensuring that every project is executed without the quality control risks or safety gaps associated with subcontractors or temporary labor.
Technical Surface Preparation for Mississippi Facilities
In Mississippi’s high-humidity and coastal environments, surface preparation is the primary factor in ensuring coating longevity. We utilize advanced methods to ensure maximum adhesion:
Our Mississippi service offerings include:
Ultra-High Pressure (UHP) Hydroblasting: Utilizing water at pressures up to 40,000 PSI to remove salt contaminants, flash rust, and old coatings - essential for maritime and coastal infrastructure where chloride removal is vital.
Abrasive Blasting: Utilizing specialized media to achieve a precise anchor profile on structural steel, tanks, and industrial machinery for a permanent coating bond.
Dry Ice Blasting (CO2): A non-abrasive, moisture-free cleaning method ideal for sensitive electronics, robotics, and intricate machinery in Mississippi’s automotive and aerospace sectors.
Solvent Cleaning & Degreasing: Removing heavy oils, lubricants, and chemical residues common in Mississippi’s manufacturing and petrochemical facilities.

Questions
Common questions in Mississippi.
Does Kelly Industrial Services use subcontractors for Mississippi projects?
No. Kelly Industrial Services uses 100% in-house, full-time employees for all industrial painting and cleaning projects in Mississippi to ensure maximum safety and quality control.
How do you handle Mississippi’s high humidity during coating applications?
We utilize real-time climate monitoring to ensure the substrate temperature and dew point are within manufacturer specifications. We also utilize moisture-tolerant primers and specialized urethanes designed specifically for high-humidity and Gulf Coast environments.
Are your employees TWIC-certified for access to Mississippi ports and shipyards?
Yes. Because we utilize 100% in-house employees, we ensure our teams are properly credentialed with TWIC (Transportation Worker Identification Credential) cards and have undergone the necessary background checks for secure maritime and industrial sites.
Can you work during the maintenance shutdowns common in Mississippi automotive plants?
Yes. We specialize in “shutdown logistics.” We can mobilize large, multi-shift teams to work 24/7 during your scheduled maintenance or holiday shutdowns, ensuring your facility is ready for production on time.
