Agricultural Painting Services Overview


Agricultural facilities and equipment face a lot of wear and tear over time due to prolonged exposure to dirt, grime, and the elements, as well as hard use. If the paint on your equipment and buildings is old or poorly done, everyday use and exposure can take a toll on the paint and underlying surfaces, putting your property at risk of damage. Keep your agricultural buildings and large equipment in the best possible condition by refreshing old paint - they’ll be protected from harm and they’ll look great!

Why Have Your Agricultural Equipment Painted?


Regularly painting your agricultural equipment and farming facilities comes with many benefits. With a fresh coat of paint, you can: 


  • Make your farm look great. You don’t want your farm to look like it’s run down and struggling. Keeping paint refreshed will give your farm a clean, professional look and tell visitors and customers that you’re running a serious, thriving business. 
  • Make cleaning and maintenance easier. Paint that has scratches, cracks, and chips invites dirt and dust to build up in hard-to-reach places. A smooth, crack-free surface keeps dirt and grime off and makes it easier to clean. 
  • Protect against rust, corrosion, rot, and other damage. Paint that has become cracked, scratched, or chipped over time makes your equipment and structures vulnerable to the elements, making it easier for them to become damaged over time. Water and weather can lead to rust and corrosion of metal equipment and structures, and it can cause wood to rot. Farming equipment may also be exposed to chemicals in fertilizers and pesticides, which can cause similar damage. Keeping paint up to date provides some protection against these, and it can help keep out dirt, dust, and insects.
  • Reduce overall maintenance costs. Damage that occurs over time can lead to costly repair bills. Regular maintenance, including keeping paint fresh, minimizes damage to your equipment, reducing the amount you need to spend down the road. 


Keeping your farm buildings and equipment in great shape will help you keep operations running smoothly. Stay proactive and refresh the paint on surfaces on a regular basis for best results.

Our Painting Process


With our painting process, we’ll take care of every step of your project so that you don’t have to worry about a thing. We make sure to do a thorough job at every step to deliver high-quality results that you’ll be fully satisfied with. Our painting process consists of several steps:


  1. Prep the area: When painting a building or other large structures, we prepare the area by covering any surfaces that need to be protected from accidental paint drips or spills so your space stays clean.
  2. Clean the surface: The surface to be painted usually requires some preparation. We begin by making sure everything is clean and smooth, which may involve pressure washing to remove dirt and grime, or removing old paint. 
  3. Prep the surface: Some surfaces, like wood siding on old barns, may have holes and cracks that need to be repaired before painting. 
  4. Prime: If a primer is needed, this gets applied first to create the perfect foundation for the new paint to adhere to. 
  5. Paint: We use premium quality paints that are just right for the application. We’ll help you determine which paint is best for building interiors, building exteriors, or equipment. 
  6. Add details: We can paint details like trim on barn exteriors or safety stripes on floors if needed. 
  7. Clean up: When we’re all done with our work, we’ll clean up everything from our project so your space will feel like new. 


We customize everything to fit your project and specific needs, and we’re happy to make changes along the way. We aren’t finished with a project until you’re fully satisfied.

Agricultural Painting FAQs

  • How much does a farm painting service cost?

    Farm painting pricing will depend on the size and scope of your project. Large projects with many buildings and pieces of equipment will obviously be more expensive than small projects. Pricing may also depend on the materials that are being painted and whether any special prep work or materials are needed. When you request a free estimate, we can provide a detailed breakdown of our pricing. 

  • How often does farming equipment need to be painted?

    There’s no universal answer for how often farming equipment needs to be painted. It depends on the exposure a piece of equipment gets to water, chemicals, and the elements, and what kind of shape each piece of equipment is in. When you do regular maintenance on your equipment, give the paint a look over to see if there are any cracks, chips, or other signs of damage to determine if the paint may need to be updated soon.
