Business model
Multi-trade business delivering integrated ship repair and maintenance packages to U.S. Navy programs and prime shipbuilders. Work executed inside active shipyards and pier-side on active vessels.
Capabilities & Scope
Core services include interior/exterior commercial painting, interior construction (light demo, framing, drywall/finishes, millwork replacement, flooring coordination), and facility maintenance (handyman repairs, minor carpentry/drywall/concrete & masonry, small-scope corrective work).The team manages brand-standard rebranding packages, recurring refresh cycles, and multi-trade punch across distributed portfolios.
Barriers to Entry
Federal Qualification - NAVSEA-certified welding programs, SSPC QP-1 coating credentials, active UEI/CAGE registration under NAICS 336611. Multi-year qualification process creates significant entry barriers.
30-Year Track Record - Three decades of Navy program office and prime contractor relationships. Established reputation and repeat contract awards difficult for new entrants to replicate.
Geographic Positioning - Dual-coast footprint adjacent to major Navy shipyards (Pacific & Gulf). Physical proximity and yard access credentials create local monopoly characteristics.
