our story

September 2013
Buy First Painting Machines
After dropping his son Sean off to fall youth lacrosse practice at an un-painted field, Co-Founder Jeff stumbled upon two line-painting machines on discount at an estate auction. Knowing he could revive the machines, he purchased them to give back to his son’s team by painting lines for their next practice.

why choose us?
Save Aggravation

Prolong the Life of Lines
Save Aggravation. Never worry about securing volunteers to paint your fields again. These days, parents rather spend an extra $20 than volunteer an hour or two of their time to paint fields. This will also help you avoid those Saturday morning calls complaining that the lines aren't straight or the field isn't square!
Save Time. Don't get stuck doing it yourself! Press the 'Easy' button by giving us a call. Even for those of you considering buying a GPS Robot, it still takes an operator and daily maintenance, cleaning sprayers, nozzles, charging, paint purchase & procurement, troubleshooting glitches, etc. Our turnkey service avoids this time commitment and related headaches.
Professional Equipment. Our team uses a diverse fleet of professional paint equipment, including several GPS guided robotic paint machines for efficient, accurate and diversified field layouts, as well as Graco, Titan, Toro and Newstripe airless machines for efficient, high quality repaints, as well as for painting logos and specialty items. With a diverse fleet of equipment, we can deploy the best machine for your needs every time.
Save Money. You're already buying paint or keeping up with machine maintenance. Unload your painting to a team of seasoned professionals, and focus your attention on what matters most to your organization.
Prolong the Life of your Lines. Request a turf growth regulator, a form of fertilizer which safely limits the vertical growth of your lines, so you are not cutting away your lines every mow. One application can safely decrease the required amount of paint applications per season, saving you money!
Leave the field lining to us and save time, labor, money and aggravation!
