Martin Specialty Coatings

Company Overview

Based in Shreveport, LA, Martin Specialty Coatings delivers complete coating solutions. We specialize in turnkey services for commercial construction and industrial facilities. We provide roof restoration, resinous flooring services, and a custom coatings shop with liquid and powder coatings.

In 1946, Martin Painting and Decorating was launched by Edward Martin as a residential painting service. With Mr. Martin at the helm, the business shifted focus from residential painting to serving commercial and industrial clients with high-performance coatings and resinous flooring.

The name was changed to Martin Specialty Coatings, Inc. in 1976 to better represent the range of coatings available. The company became a second-generation family business in 1987 when Mr. Martin's sons acquired it.

To support our growth, we relocated our headquarters to a larger facility in 1992. We also expanded our product offerings to include shop-applied coatings. Powder coating was added to our offerings in 2005.

Today, we provide comprehensive coating services to businesses within a 300-mile radius of Shreveport. Now a third-generation family business, we have more than 100 employees, many of whom bring over 20 years of expertise.
