OUR HISTORY
Our story is simple. Over 30 years ago Alan Franklin and his lone sandblasting truck began sandblasting paint from the sides of old barns and repainting them. Having grown up in a rural setting he recognized a need for such services and decided to create a business to address it. The founding principle of his new business was simple. He would treat each customer as a business partner and would work toward the mutual benefit of both parties. This philosophy would ensure that every customer who entrusted Alan with a job would receive the quality workmanship and the dependable, personalized service that they deserved.
Three decades later, that same philosophy still anchors the company today. The business has grown far beyond Alan and his lone truck. Franklin Sandblasting and Painting is one of the leading sandblasting companies in Ontario and now service the Industrial, Commercial, Residential and Agricultural sectors across the entire province.
At the end of the day our company is quite simple. We sandblast, we paint, and we continually strive to improve the ways we do both. 30 years and countless obstacles later we have a hard won reputation as a leader of quality sandblasting and painting. Here are some of the basic principles that have helped us thrive:
• Provide the most attractive and durable results possible
