JOIN OUR TEAM

Pro Paint Journey

  • Pro Paint opened its doors in 2011 by founders Cody Wallis and Randy Brown, who remain very involved in key areas to maintain consistency and ensure accuracy in jobs.

  • Pro Paint initially focused on the industrial sector, applying internal and external coatings to a large order of 400BBL tanks.

  • Pro Paint soon increased our capacity to larger scale piping and structural projects.

  • The Pro Paint field division started in 2011 and in 2015 we expanded the shop to over 17,500 square feet, as we continue to grow our field equipment fleet and offer a wide range of services.

  • In 2019 Pro Paint expanded the shop operations to the full yard that exists today, and further expanded shop operations in 2025 and into 2026 adding two new paint bays to go along with our existing painting and blasting operations.

  • In 2025 Pro Paint expanded to the Grande Prairie region, adding another 30,000+ square feet of shop space, adding large piping and powder coating capabilities to our offerings! This also came with another field division focused primarily on pipeline and northern turnarounds.
