More than Brushes, Trucks and Ladders
Posted Jul 15, 2010 by David Guy
For more than 35 years, the Scaturro family has taken great pride in building Alpine Painting and Sandblasting Contractors into the efficient, full-service commercial/industrial painting company it is today.
“When we say ‘more than brushes and ladders’ states Dave Scaturro, the company’s sales director, “it describes a systematic operational discipline that is attached to everything we do to complete our work accurately, on time and within budget.”
Headquartered in Paterson, the company employs more than 100 painters, and a full support staff, including administration, operations, estimating, engineering, sales and customer service. By consistently demonstrating skill and reliability, Alpine has developed strong, lasting relationships with commercial businesses, operators of industrial complexes, as well as state, county and municipal governments throughout New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
“We are very good at what we do because we like what we do,” says Scaturro. “No other painting contractor we know of can boast more emphatically about their repeat customer rate than we can.”
Broad in both scope and ability, Alpine Painting can tailor its jobsite protocols to any project’s specifications. The company’s operational systems assure customers get the right manpower on the job when needed: day, night, weekends, holidays, or whenever an emergency arises.
Alpine’s commercial painting services cover a broad range of environments and applications. including interior and exterior work in office buildings, retail stores, apartment/condominium complexes. Industrial site painting services range from bridges to warehouses and may include aggressive surface preparation techniques and specialized coatings.
Obtaining qualified industrial painting services is often difficult for a site manager since a site may present complex challenges, says Scaturro. But with a long list of qualifications including OSHA safety standards, employee training, and environmental safeguards, Alpine Painting can handle the most challenging job.
“We’ve seen almost everything,,” says Scaturro. “Very little would surprise us.”
To complement its broad range of commercial and industrial painting services, Alpine Painting also has a full-service, in-house paint shop staffed by experienced sandblasters and paint finishers. From massive snow plows and truck-mounted salt spreaders to fabrication machines and factory conveyers, Alpine knows how to make equipment look good.
When it comes to safety and liability protection, Alpine emphasizes an exemplary performance record. Workers follow specific protocols that safely see every job to completion. When strict safety guidelines and exact jobsite procedures are a must, no company has higher standards, says Scaturro. In fact, this year the company received The Painting and Decorating Contractors of America Gold Award for Safety.
The second generation has populated the management ranks at Alpine, growing into their areas of responsibility after years of hands-on practical experience. As a result, Mr. Scaturro explains, “our firm is on a growth trajectory that assures our customers and employees will always come first.”
“We are business people with years of experience in not only meeting customers’ needs but exceeding their expectations,” says Scaturro.
