Metal Building Painting
Ohio's Metal Building Painting Specialists
Are You Looking To Paint Or Apply Coatings To Your Agricultural Buildings?
Are your metal buildings looking dull, faded, or rusted? Has your Morton building or your industrial facility begun to show signs of corrosion?
Over time, weather exposure and UV rays can cause metal siding to deteriorate, leading to unsightly rust and potential structural damage. We’re not just painters – we’re specialists in metal building refinishing. Metal siding and metal roofing, popular for its durability and versatility, requires a specific method of preparation and painting to ensure long-lasting results.
If the process is not done correctly, it will lead to premature fading, chalking, and expensive repainting. Our trained and fully equipped professionals know how to restore metal surfaces to a "better-than-new" finish that lasts for years, even in Ohio’s unpredictable weather.

Types of Metal Buildings We Can Paint
We provide expert metal building painting services throughout Champaign, Clark, Franklin, Hardin, Logan, Madison, Miami, Shelby, Union, and Marion Counties. Whether you have a large industrial warehouse, a Morton building on your farm, or a metal roof in need of a refresh, we offer high-quality, durable painting solutions.
Commercial and Industrial Metal Buildings
From warehouses to manufacturing facilities, we provide specialized painting services for commercial and industrial steel buildings. These structures often use corrugated galvanized steel sheet siding, which can become oxidized and worn over time. Our professional painting services restore their appearance and protect them from further damage.
Agricultural Buildings
Farms, ranches, and barns across Ohio rely on metal roofs and siding for durability, but exposure to the elements can lead to rust and corrosion. We paint and refinish agricultural structures to preserve their integrity and appearance.
Equestrian Facilities
Stables, riding arenas, and barns require special care to ensure their longevity. Our painting services protect these metal-roofed structures from rust and weather damage while giving them a fresh, professional look.
Morton Buildings, Pole Barns, and Machine Buildings
Morton buildings and pole barns are popular choices in rural areas for their versatility and strength. However, they are not immune to wear and tear. We apply coatings that not only protect these buildings but also enhance their appearance.
Metal Roofs and Storage Tanks
Metal roofs and storage tanks are prone to rust and corrosion. Our asphalt aluminum and high-performance coatings help extend the lifespan of these essential structures while improving energy efficiency through reflective coatings.

Our Metal Building Painting Process
With over 30 years of experience painting metal buildings we've developed our own successful process for painting all types of metal structures with great, long-lasting results.
Step 1: Inspection and Surface Preparation
We begin by thoroughly inspecting your metal building to identify areas that need special attention, such as rust, loose fasteners, or damaged panels. Proper surface preparation is crucial for a long-lasting finish, which is why we:
-
- Pressure wash all metal siding with specialized detergents to remove dirt, grime, and oxidation.
- Tighten and replace any loose fasteners.
- Caulk seams and gaps to ensure the building is watertight.
- Prime areas showing signs of rust or corrosion to prevent further deterioration.
Step 2: Color Matching and Application
We offer custom color matching if you wish to retain the existing look of your building or can help you choose a new, modern color scheme. Once the surface is prepped, we apply two full coats of Sherwin Williams Paints and Coatings, ensuring an even and durable finish that will stand up to the elements.
Step 3: Final Touches
After applying the final coats, we inspect the job to ensure every detail is perfect. Our goal is to deliver a flawless finish that not only improves the appearance of your building but also provides long-lasting protection.

Corrosion Is The Enemy Of Steel Buildings - Our Painting Process Protects Them
Ohio’s climate, with its hot summers, heavy rainfall, and freezing winters, creates the perfect conditions for corrosion to take hold on metal and wooden agricultural buildings. Over time, corrosion weakens structures, leading to costly repairs or even replacements. Rust, rot, and weather damage not only compromise the integrity of the buildings but also diminish their appearance and functionality.
The Effects of Corrosion in Ohio’s Climate
Humidity and Rainfall: Ohio experiences high humidity and significant rainfall, both of which accelerate rust formation on metal surfaces. Without proper protection, barns, grain silos, metal buildings, and other steel sided structures can quickly degrade.
Temperature Fluctuations: The wide temperature swings between Ohio’s cold winters and warm summers cause materials to expand and contract, which can lead to cracking, peeling, and the eventual failure of paint or protective coatings. This exposes the underlying material to the elements, making it more susceptible to corrosion.
Snow and Ice: In winter, snow and ice buildup on rooftops and exposed metal surfaces can trap moisture, encouraging rust. Salt used for de-icing can also accelerate the corrosion of metal structures and surfaces.
How We Protect Your Metal Buildings from Corrosion
At Kerrigan Painting & Power Washing, we know that proper preparation and high-quality coatings are essential to preventing corrosion and keeping your metal buildings in excellent condition for years to come. Here’s how we do it:
Surface Preparation: We thoroughly clean and prepare surfaces before applying any coatings, ensuring all rust, dirt, and debris are removed. This allows for better adhesion of the coatings and provides a smooth, even finish that seals the surface completely.
Rust Inhibitors: For metal buildings and structures prone to rust, we use specialized primers and rust-inhibiting coatings that provide long-lasting protection from moisture and oxidation.
Waterproof and UV-Resistant Coatings: Our coatings are designed to withstand Ohio’s harsh climate. We apply waterproof and UV-resistant paints that form a protective barrier against moisture, rain, and intense sunlight. These coatings prevent rust on metal surfaces and rot on wooden buildings.
Durability and Longevity: With our expert application of industrial-grade coatings, your agricultural structures will not only stay rust- and rot-free, but they’ll also look great for many years to come. By protecting your investments, we help you avoid expensive repairs and extend the life of your farm buildings.

Do You Have Questions About Metal Building Painting?
Surface rust is common and can often be treated before painting. However, if the rust has deeply corroded the metal, causing holes or severe structural damage, those areas may need to be replaced before we can proceed with painting. We assess the severity of rust during the inspection and will provide recommendations if repairs are necessary.
Yes! As part of our preparation process, we check for loose, missing, or damaged fasteners and replace or tighten them as needed. This ensures that your metal building is structurally sound before applying any coatings.
Yes, we can carefully work around exterior electrical fixtures like lights, signage, and HVAC units. If necessary, we coordinate with electricians or other specialists to temporarily remove or disconnect fixtures to ensure a clean, even paint job.
Absolutely! We offer custom color matching to match your building’s existing color for a seamless look. If you’re looking for a new color, we can also help you select from a range of high-quality, long-lasting finishes.
We use high-quality industrial and commercial-grade paints from trusted brands like Sherwin Williams. These paints are specially formulated for metal surfaces to provide excellent adhesion, durability, and resistance to rust and weather damage. Depending on the structure and your needs we have a few products that we commonly use for steel and metal structures.
Weather conditions are important for exterior painting projects. We monitor the forecast closely and avoid painting during periods of rain, high humidity, or extreme cold. Ideal conditions ensure that the paint cures properly and lasts longer.
Yes! Using reflective coatings, like asphalt aluminum, can help reduce heat absorption from the sun, which keeps the interior of the building cooler during hot summer months. This can improve energy efficiency and reduce cooling costs.
The timeline depends on the size and condition of your building, as well as any necessary preparation work. Generally, painting a metal building takes 1-3 days, but larger projects or extensive repairs may require additional time.
Yes! We specialize in painting metal roofs as well as walls, siding, and other metal surfaces. A fresh coat of paint on your roof can protect it from rust and UV damage, improving its longevity and appearance.
While we can repair minor issues like fasteners and seal seams, we do not replace large, corroded metal panels. However, we can recommend trusted contractors who specialize in metal building repair.
We start by thoroughly cleaning the surface with power washing to remove dirt, grime, and oxidation. Next, we address any rust, loose fasteners, or gaps by tightening fasteners and sealing seams. We then prime areas where necessary to ensure the new paint adheres properly and lasts for years.
Absolutely! We have the necessary equipment, such as lifts and scaffolding, to safely and efficiently paint tall buildings, grain silos, storage tanks, and other hard-to-reach areas.
