Industrial painting, coatings and specialized cleaning for facilities across Maryland, covered by full-time Kelly crews from the Philadelphia service center.
Maryland is a vital industrial and logistical hub for the Mid-Atlantic, anchored by the massive Port of Baltimore and a dense corridor of advanced manufacturing and biotechnology. From the heavy industrial sites at Sparrows Point to the highly regulated pharmaceutical facilities in the I-270 corridor, Maryland’s industrial infrastructure faces a combination of coastal salt-air exposure and the mechanical demands of high-volume logistics. These environments require technical surface protection engineered for long-term corrosion resistance and regulatory compliance.
Kelly Industrial Services provides the professional-grade painting and specialized cleaning necessary to protect these critical investments. Our Maryland 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 Maryland Facilities
In Maryland’s coastal and heavy industrial environments, surface preparation is the most critical factor in preventing coating failure. We utilize advanced methods to ensure maximum adhesion:
Our Maryland service offerings include:
Ultra-High Pressure (UHP) Hydroblasting: Utilizing water at pressures up to 40,000 PSI to remove salt contaminants, loose rust, and old coatings - essential for maritime and port infrastructure near the Chesapeake Bay.
Abrasive Blasting: Utilizing specialized media to achieve a specific anchor profile on structural steel, tanks, and industrial machinery for a permanent mechanical bond.
Solvent Cleaning & Degreasing: Removing heavy oils, lubricants, and chemical residues common in Maryland’s manufacturing and automotive sectors.
Dry Ice Blasting (CO2): A moisture-free cleaning method ideal for sensitive electronics, laboratory equipment, and intricate machinery in Maryland’s pharmaceutical and tech sectors.

Questions
Common questions in Maryland.
Does Kelly Industrial Services use subcontractors for Maryland projects?
No. Kelly Industrial Services uses 100% in-house, full-time employees for all industrial painting and cleaning projects in Maryland to ensure maximum safety and quality control.
Are your employees TWIC-certified for access to the Port of Baltimore?
Yes. Our direct-hire crews maintain TWIC credentials and the necessary safety certifications to work in secure maritime, port, and industrial facilities throughout Maryland.
Can you work around the sensitive equipment in Maryland’s pharmaceutical labs?
Yes. We utilize dry ice blasting for moisture-free cleaning and apply ultra-low VOC coatings to ensure no harmful fumes or contaminants interfere with sensitive lab research or production cycles.
What is the benefit of dryfall painting for Maryland warehouses?
Dryfall technology allows us to paint massive warehouse ceilings quickly. The overspray dries before it reaches the floor, allowing us to refresh your facility with minimal cleanup and zero damage to stored inventory or equipment.
