Industrial painting, coatings and specialized cleaning for facilities across New York, covered by full-time Kelly crews from the Philadelphia service center.
New York is a global center for high-tech manufacturing, food processing, and massive logistical infrastructure. From the “Tech Valley” semiconductor and pharmaceutical clusters in Albany and the Hudson Valley to the heavy industrial and maritime hubs in Buffalo and New York City, the state’s industrial assets operate under intense regulatory scrutiny and harsh environmental conditions. These facilities require technical surface protection engineered to meet strict hygiene standards, resist coastal corrosion, and withstand the extreme freeze-thaw cycles of the Northeast.
Kelly Industrial Services provides the professional-grade painting and specialized cleaning necessary to protect these critical investments. Our New York 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 New York Facilities
In New York’s highly regulated and climate-diverse environments, surface preparation is the primary factor in ensuring coating longevity. We utilize advanced methods to ensure maximum adhesion:
Our New York service offerings include:
Dry Ice Blasting (CO2): A non-abrasive, moisture-free cleaning method ideal for New York’s pharmaceutical robotics, food processing lines, and sensitive electronics manufacturing.
Ultra-High Pressure (UHP) Hydroblasting: Utilizing water at pressures up to 40,000 PSI to remove salt contaminants and old coatings from maritime and bridge infrastructure without the dust of abrasive blasting.
Abrasive Blasting: Utilizing specialized media to achieve a precise anchor profile on structural steel and heavy machinery for high-performance industrial bonds.
Technical Degreasing: Removing industrial oils and chemical residues common in New York’s heavy manufacturing and historical industrial corridors.

Questions
Common questions in New York.
Does Kelly Industrial Services use subcontractors for New York projects?
No. Kelly Industrial Services uses 100% in-house, full-time employees for all industrial painting and cleaning projects in New York to ensure maximum safety and quality control.
How do you handle New York’s strict environmental and VOC regulations?
We are experts in regulatory compliance. We specify and apply ultra-low VOC and solvent-free coating systems that meet or exceed New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) standards, ensuring your project is compliant and environmentally responsible.
What is the benefit of dry ice blasting for New York food processing plants?
Dry ice blasting is moisture-free and leaves no secondary waste. This makes it ideal for cleaning intricate food-processing machinery or electrical panels without the risk of water damage, bacteria growth, or the cleanup required by sandblasting.
Can you work during maintenance shutdowns for Buffalo-area heavy industry?
Yes. We specialize in “shutdown logistics.” We can mobilize large, multi-shift teams to work 24/7 during your scheduled maintenance windows or holiday breaks, ensuring your facility is ready for production on time.
