For five generations, Coatings Unlimited has grown from a sole New Orleans painter to Midwest coating specialist to nationwide service provider. During that time, Coatings Unlimited has helped protect some of North America’s most ambitious projects. From the Department of Defense and nationally recognized food manufacturers to regional utility providers and local sewer districts, our team of certified specialists are committed to completing every project on time and under budget, with no surprises or safety incidents.
Environmental, health, and safety are engrained into our culture. At Coatings Unlimited, we firmly believe that no job is worth the life and wellbeing of any one of our team members or the community around us. For more than 70 years, our team has worked diligently to create and sustain a culture of safety by taking a proactive approach to task-specific training, education, and responsibility. We believe safety is a responsibility we all share.
We draw from our deep internal knowledge base and our extensive relationships with skilled labor and industry vendors to provide a finished product of Industrial Coatings that delivers meticulous attention to quality, safety, and performance.
We are dedicated to providing the highest quality work while protecting the surrounding environment, natural resources, and the safety and well-being of the community, our customers, employees, and all others involved on our project sites.
We are nothing without the men and women on the frontlines of our operation. These painters and blasters have built us from a small regional contractor into a nationwide firm known for innovation and integrity.
As our founder, Fred Philipp Senior, always said, “We’re in the business of making friends” and that still holds true today. Each job relies on people and values that have carried us here, always with the aim to be invited back.
