What Redwood Painting Co does

Redwood Painting Co., doing business as Redwood Painting and Trades, is a private industrial painting and specialty trade services contractor headquartered in Pittsburg, California, with additional offices in Vallejo (Northern California), Rancho Cucamonga (Southern California), and Kent, Washington. The company was founded in 1947 and was later reconstituted by combining the original Redwood Painting Company with D2 Industrial Services, which added scaffolding, mechanical/industrial insulation, and asbestos and lead abatement to the legacy painting business. Today it operates four integrated service lines — industrial painting and protective coatings, scaffolding, insulation, and abatement — for commercial, industrial, and infrastructure clients across the western United States.

The core technical capability centers on surface preparation and protective coating application for complex industrial and marine environments. Coating systems span 100% solid epoxies, elastomeric polyurethanes, fiberglass laminates, intumescent fireproofing, polysiloxanes, phenolics, vinyl esters, and specialty tank linings. Surface preparation uses manual waterjetting, ultra-high-pressure (UHP) robotics, automated abrasive blasters, and vertical/horizontal Blastrac equipment, and the firm offers Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) detection and treatment alongside full containment and waste management for hazardous materials. Credentials include AMPP QP1 (coating application) and AMPP QP2 (hazardous coating removal) certifications and more than a decade of consecutive FCA CREST Awards for safety performance.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue: lump-sum or time-and-materials bids on industrial maintenance, capital, and turnaround projects for refineries, power plants, manufacturing facilities, marine structures, and infrastructure owners (including bridges and public utilities). GTM is enterprise field sales engaging directly with facility owners, general contractors, and project managers in California and the Pacific Northwest. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of AIS (Arctic Slope Regional Corporation Industrial Services), itself a subsidiary of ASRC, an Alaska Native corporation, and sits within the F.D. Thomas family of companies alongside F.D. Thomas, FDT Structural Specialties, US Coatings Federal, D2 Industrial, and DZ. As a subsidiary of an Alaska Native corporation, Redwood holds Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) certification, providing access to supplier-diversity procurement channels.
