Industrial painting, coatings and specialized cleaning for facilities across Washington, covered by full-time Kelly crews from the Los Angeles service center.
Washington is a global leader in aerospace manufacturing, maritime commerce, and high-tech infrastructure. From the massive assembly plants in Everett and Renton to the busy deep-water ports in Seattle and Tacoma, the state’s industrial assets operate in an environment characterized by constant moisture and high regulatory standards. These facilities require technical surface protection engineered for salt-air corrosion resistance, aerospace-grade precision, and long-term durability in the Pacific Northwest’s damp climate.
Kelly Industrial Services provides the professional-grade painting and specialized cleaning necessary to protect these vital investments. Our Washington 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 Washington Facilities
In Washington’s high-moisture maritime and aerospace sectors, surface preparation is the primary factor in ensuring coating longevity. We utilize advanced methods to ensure maximum adhesion:
Our Washington service offerings include:
Ultra-High Pressure (UHP) Hydroblasting: Utilizing water at pressures up to 40,000 PSI to remove salt contaminants and old coatings - essential for ship-to-shore cranes and dock infrastructure in the Puget Sound.
Dry Ice Blasting (CO2): A non-abrasive, moisture-free cleaning method ideal for Washington’s aerospace robotics, sensitive electronics manufacturing, and intricate machinery.
Abrasive Blasting: Achieving a precise anchor profile on structural steel and heavy machinery to ensure a permanent bond for high-performance industrial coatings.
Technical Degreasing: Removing industrial oils, resins, and chemical residues common in Washington’s aerospace, maritime, and forest products sectors.

Questions
Common questions in Washington.
Does Kelly Industrial Services use subcontractors for Washington projects?
No. Kelly Industrial Services uses 100% in-house, full-time employees for all industrial painting and cleaning projects in Washington to ensure maximum safety and quality control.
How do you handle Washington’s constant moisture during coating applications?
We utilize moisture-tolerant primers and real-time climate monitoring. Our technicians ensure that the substrate is properly prepared and within specific dew point and temperature ranges before application to prevent premature coating failure.
Are your employees TWIC-certified for access to the Port of Seattle or Tacoma?
Yes. Because we use 100% in-house employees, our crews are background-checked and maintain TWIC credentials and the necessary safety certifications for secure maritime, port, and naval facilities.
What is the benefit of dry ice blasting for Washington aerospace facilities?
Dry ice blasting is moisture-free and leaves no secondary waste. This makes it ideal for cleaning aerospace robotics and sensitive electrical components without the risk of water damage or the secondary cleanup required by sandblasting.
