Powder Coating of Helena

A finish
that lasts.

We coat customer-supplied parts too — not just our own work. Call to schedule a drop-off for your railings, automotive parts, furniture, or equipment and we'll sand, prime, and finish them with a durable powder coat that outperforms any spray paint.

From clients

What people say.

Always our first call

We've used Colton for over a year and a half for powder coating multiple metal projects we've fabricated — from odd-shaped concrete peg bins to rims and fuel tanks. He pays attention to every detail, and the turnaround time and communication is spot on. We HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for a job well done.

Rosie Johnson

Goes above and beyond

Colton did our stair rail and our upstairs railing in our new home. It is gorgeous and he goes above and beyond. He communicates well, is organized, and clean when he is working in the home. 5 stars!

Megan and Andrew Boyd

A perfect color match

Colton's accuracy with my railing fabrication was excellent and the coating he applied was a perfect match. He was able to get me completed in a short time frame, and I really appreciated that!

Phil Gordon

Truly an artisan

It is a pleasure working with Colton. He is very creative and does beautiful work — this fireplace shroud was our second project with him. He does exactly what he says he will do, and he does it on time. He is truly an artisan.

Jackie Guthrie

A true artist

Colton did an amazing job fabricating and powder coating the custom railings for our new home. A true artist and very professional. We look forward to working with him again!

Matthew Homan

The centerpiece of our remodel

I gave Colton the basic idea of what I wanted, and what he delivered far exceeded all my expectations. The finished product will be the centerpiece of my remodel — right down to the matching hardware and torx bolts. I love the workmanship and cannot recommend him enough.

Jeff Petek

Both sides match perfectly

Our custom fabrication of the rear quarter panel of our Chevy 6500 tow truck looks amazing. You can't even tell it was mended — both sides match perfectly. Grade A job, and done quickly for us!

He took the small job

Adding a handrail to our front and back steps was a long-term goal, but finding a metalworker interested in the small project was difficult. Colton has great communication skills, keeping you informed on your project's status. He understood what we thought we wanted, and created something that made sense.

Samuel Harworth

The plane will fly again

My wife had an airplane as yard art that took a hard landing on a windy day — a propeller broke off and two brackets snapped. I dropped it off Wednesday afternoon and it was ready the next day. Plane will fly again! Any other projects I have, I will be coming to you.

Zach Lloyd

Unmatched attention to detail

I've used Colton for multiple new construction projects around Helena and Townsend. He will do anything in his power to make your dreams a reality. The attention to detail and care he puts into every project is unmatched — punctual, responsive, and complex metal projects done quickly.
