M J Painting Contractor Corp., a leader in commercial and industrial painting, is celebrating a remarkable milestone – 54 years in business. Founded June 1, 1970, the company has grown from a local contractor to a national operation with a strong commitment to quality, integrity and community.
We started small, focusing on commercial and industrial projects in Olean, New York.
Over the years, our dedication to quality work and customer trust led to steady growth.
We expanded our services to include the oil and natural gas industry, establishing a presence in 14 states.
Today, M J Painting proudly spotlights a second location in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, catering to the Marcellus-Utica Shale Region.
We value the opportunity to invest in the future. We have consistently expanded our headquarters in Olean, acquiring land for new buildings including a paint and sandblast shop. Additionally, we recently purchased land and completed brownfield cleanup for further development, aiming to create a larger paint shop, fleet maintenance center, storage yard and offices.
We’ve been busy expanding into other avenues as well, diversifying our services as we see needs arise. Our recent divisions and expansions reflect the reputation we’ve earned within our familiar industries and beyond:
- MJP Energy Services: This dedicated division brings together our proven expertise in blasting, coating and painting with a focus on delivering reliable and efficient solutions specifically tailored for the energy sector. Our service offerings include oil and natural gas pipeline coating, right of way maintenance, station facility maintenance painting, station facility flooring, renewable infrastructure coatings and in-shop blasting and coating for specialty projects.
- Right of Way Maintenance: While performing our existing coating services on pipeline rights of way, we recognized an unmistakable client need for reliable maintenance in these large swaths of land. We decided to leverage our existing capabilities, add an elite fleet of machinery and implement our detailed reporting system to deliver a comprehensive solution.
- Signature Concrete Floor Coatings: Drawing on our five decades of experience in the painting and coating industry, we saw a natural opportunity to expand into flooring. This division brings our expertise in quality and customer service to the residential, commercial and industrial flooring market. We offer beautiful and long-lasting concrete floor coating solutions, ensuring the same level of quality M J Painting is known for. This expansion allows us to cater to a wider range of clients while maintaining our core commitment to exceptional service.
Our success truly hinges on our dedicated team. M J Painting has grown to include 40+ employees and a fleet of 25+ trucks. We actively seek talented individuals to join our growing team in the painting and coating industry. You can view our career opportunities and apply here.
We also recognize the importance of giving back. We regularly contribute to various charities, like the Frank A. Martin Memorial Scholarship, Walk to End Alzheimer’s and the Olean General Hospital Foundation, among many others. We value our community and are committed to supporting it and improving local infrastructure.
LOOKING AHEAD
Reaching a milestone 54 years in business, M J Painting remains focused on future growth. President Mike John emphasizes the company’s dedication to creating jobs, contributing to charities and giving back to the community. “It’s been an honor to see this company grow from a one-man operation to the successful team we are today. While our mission to provide quality service is simple, navigating a competitive market and economic downturns wasn’t easy.
The work itself isn’t easy, traveling away from families isn’t easy. There’s a deep sense of pride in seeing what we’ve built together.
I have every person who has ever worked for this company to thank for the sacrifices they’ve made and their unwavering commitment to excellence.
It’s because of them that we have the reputation we hold today.”
With a solid foundation built on quality and integrity, we’re poised to continue serving our employees and community with the same commitment to quality and care for years to come.
