Corrosion control for Guam's salt air WOSB & HUBZone Est. 2022

Stop rust before it costs you a replacement.

Salt air eats equipment, vessels, tanks, and railings. We assess the damage, protect the metal with a coating system built for Guam, and maintain it on a schedule, so you budget small repairs instead of replacements.

Who we help

Facilities & utilities

Tanks, railings, structural steel, and plant equipment kept on a maintenance schedule, not a replacement list.

Government & prime contractors

WOSB and HUBZone small business with UEI and CAGE on file, plus project documentation for inspectors and contract files.

Marine & port

Hulls, barges, cranes, and dock steel, protected for salt water and turned around fast.

Equipment & fleets

Heavy equipment, trucks, trailers, and ground support units, stripped, protected, and back to work.

Property managers & HOAs

Rusting stairs, railings, gates, and roofs. You get a written plan and photo report to take to the owner or board.

The Problem

Guam's salt air destroys metal. Fast.

Salt, heat, and year-round humidity attack unprotected metal every day. Surface rust turns into structural damage, and the bill turns from maintenance into replacement.

P.01

Salt air

Guam's coastal air rusts unprotected steel far faster than inland mainland sites. Untreated metal shows damage within months.

P.02

Coating failure

Cheap paint chalks and peels under sun and salt. Once water gets under it, rust spreads where you can't see it.

P.03

Replacement costs

Planned maintenance costs a fraction of replacement. Catching corrosion early keeps assets in service longer and off the emergency budget.

What We Do

Corrosion control, start to finish

Assess, protect, maintain. One local team from first inspection to scheduled upkeep.

SVC.01

Corrosion Assessment

We inspect your asset on site, document how far the rust has gone and how harsh the exposure is, photograph everything, and give you a written plan: restore now, or maintain what's there. Site visit within 48 hours.

↗ SVC.02

Protection Project

We remove failed coating and rust down to clean metal, then apply a marine-grade coating system matched to your site's salt exposure. You get coating thickness readings and a full coating record before we leave.

↗ SVC.03

Asset Protection Program

Quarterly or annual inspections, wash-downs, and spot repairs, plus a forecast of when you'll need to recoat. Rust gets caught while it's still a small repair, and you can plan the budget ahead.

↗ SVC.04

Protective Coatings

Marine-grade protective coating systems for Guam's high-corrosivity coastal air.

↗ SVC.05

Government Contracting

WOSB and HUBZone certified small business. UEI RMWJCD99G2C9 · CAGE 12GL0. Documentation built for contracting officers, primes, and inspectors.

↗ SVC.06

Lead Paint & Asbestos

Removal of hazardous coatings with containment and disposal under federal and Guam EPA rules. EPA Lead-Safe certified.

↗ SVC.07

Industrial Painting

Heavy equipment, fleet vehicles, and facility painting services.

↗ SVC.08

Fabrication & Repair

Weld repair and metal fabrication with immediate protective coating.

↗

Methods

MTD.01

Surface Prep: Dustless & Abrasive Blasting

When a coating has failed, we blast to clean metal so the new system bonds. That means dustless (wet) blasting, or dry blasting with containment when the spec calls for it. It's part of every Protection Project.

↗ MTD.02

Automotive Blasting

Dustless stripping for cars, trucks, and trailers, with low heat so panels don't warp.

↗

The Master Blasters Advantage

Built for Guam salt air, and for your paperwork.

Every job gets a coating system matched to its exposure, controlled prep, and documentation that holds up to an inspector, an auditor, or your board.

Documentation you can file

Before-and-after photos, coating specs, product data, and thickness readings on every project. 600+ documented projects.

Matched to your exposure

Every coating system is matched to the right corrosivity class, from moderate up to severe coastal.

WOSB & HUBZone certified

Eligible for federal set-asides. UEI RMWJCD99G2C9 · CAGE 12GL0.

48-hour site visit

On-site assessment within 48 hours, then a written scope, timeline, and fixed-price quote.

How It Works

Assess. Protect. Maintain.

One local team from the first look to scheduled upkeep.

Assess

On-site visit within 48 hours. We check the condition, measure the area, rate the exposure, and photograph everything.

Specify

A written scope with the coating system, timeline, and a fixed price. No hidden costs.

Protect

Our EPA-certified crew preps the metal (dustless or contained blasting) and applies the specified coating system. Daily progress photos and notes.

Maintain

Final inspection, a closeout package (photos, product data, coating readings). Then scheduled inspections and touch-ups keep the system working.

Client Voices

What clients say

Feedback from project owners across Guam.

Master Blasters blasted and recoated our container crane with no dust complaints from the terminal. The coating still looks like new.

— Operations Manager, Matson Navigation Guam

We had a large ground support fleet that needed full restoration. Master Blasters handled the entire fleet, blasting, priming, and topcoating, without disrupting our flight schedule.

— GSE Manager, United Airlines Guam

Our water tank was rusting through. Master Blasters blasted it to bare metal and applied a new protective coating system.

— Facility Director, Hawaiian Rock Products

Questions

Frequently asked

Straight answers about process, pricing, and what to expect.

A site visit within 48 hours. We inspect the asset, document rust and coating condition with photos, rate how harsh the exposure is, and give you a written restore-or-maintain plan with a fixed-price quote.

Yes. Dustless and contained abrasive blasting are how we prepare metal when the coating has failed. The product is the corrosion protection system and the maintenance plan, not the blast.

Before-and-after photos, the coating system and product data, coating thickness readings, and daily progress notes. That's enough for inspectors, contract files, and board reports.

Most projects take 3–10 days depending on size and condition. A single piece of heavy equipment: 1–2 days. A marine vessel: 5–7 days. Infrastructure like tanks or bridges: 7–14 days. We provide a fixed timeline in your quote.

Yes. We are a WOSB and HUBZone certified small business, UEI RMWJCD99G2C9, CAGE 12GL0. We have military and federal contract experience and provide the project documentation contracting officers and primes require.

We warranty our workmanship. Ask us about it when we quote your project.

Yes. We are EPA Lead-Safe certified and handle containment, removal, and disposal under federal and Guam EPA regulations.

We schedule on-site assessments within 48 hours of contact. Most projects begin within 1–2 weeks of quote approval. Emergency corrosion situations can be expedited.
