Read our Sustainability Statement.

For new projects, you need a partner that understands construction scheduling and can support your internal Project Managers as they work with Architects, Designers, General Contractors and Painters.

Renovations require strong coordination with your GC and Painting Contractor, as delays in the return to service affect your residents and your revenue stream. With maintenance painting, you need solutions that won’t disrupt your operations and products that keep your employees and residents comfortable. In short, you need a partner who understands this industry.

On Site Support from a Team of Professionals

We assist new construction projects from specification writing and pre-job walk through, to site visits and follow up reports. Maintenance painting is supported by failure analysis of existing coatings, including solutions that will minimize disruptions and stretch maintenance budgets.

Innovation

Hirshfield’s represents the finest coatings manufacturers in the business. And each has contributed unique advancements and industry innovations. Hirshfield’s Paint Manufacturing was among the industry’s first to incorporate Microban® antimicrobial product protection in its ceramic resin interior finishes.

Another example: Glidden has a long history in launching industry-changing innovations, such as the first ever latex paint and the first no VOC paint. Recent launches include Glidden’s Lumitec Technology® color range which reflects more light and therefore reduces energy costs as well as revolutionary Tru-Glaze-WB™, a water based epoxy which meets the most stringent VOC regulations.

Hirshfield’s and its coatings resources continue to lead the field in developing both architectural and industrial coatings that offer real benefits to building owners and occupants.
