Based in Huntington Beach. Spray fireproofing, intumescent coatings and repair crews for commercial projects across Orange County.
A1 Fireproofing and Specialty Coatings is headquartered in Huntington Beach, which makes Orange County home turf. Our crews are minutes from the Irvine Spectrum, the Anaheim Platinum Triangle, the Santa Ana civic center and the Costa Mesa office corridor, and we can have a repair crew on an Orange County jobsite the same week you call.
We install spray-applied cementitious fireproofing (SFRM), thin-film intumescent coatings and protective coatings on structural steel for general contractors, and we also carry a commercial painting division, so one sub can handle both scopes on a tenant improvement or new build.
Where we work in Orange County
Irvine, Anaheim, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, Orange, Tustin, Fullerton, Brea, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, San Clemente and every city in between.
Fireproofing services for Orange County projects
Spray-applied cementitious fireproofing (SFRM)
Monokote MK-6, CAFCO 300 and other Isolatek systems on beams, columns, girders, metal deck and joists. We coordinate with the steel erector and deck crew so fireproofing follows right behind and never holds up the schedule.
Intumescent fireproofing
Thin-film intumescent coatings for exposed steel in office lobbies, retail canopies, exposed frames and healthcare spaces where the architect wants the steel to show. 1-, 2- and 3-hour UL-listed systems with an architectural finish.
Fireproofing patch and repair
After the electricians, plumbers and duct crews are done, fireproofing coverage is never what it was. Our repair crew patches SFRM and re-coats intumescent to design thickness and documents it, so your final fire inspection passes the first time.
Protective coatings and commercial painting
Coatings for parking structures, wastewater facilities and coastal steel where salt air makes corrosion protection as important as fire rating, plus commercial and industrial painting for new construction and tenant improvements.
Working with Orange County building departments
We work under city building departments and fire authorities across the county. Every bid package includes submittals, the manufacturer’s application instructions and installer documentation, so your inspector has what they need before the first coat goes on.

Frequently asked questions
Where in Orange County are you located?
Our office is in Huntington Beach and our crews work throughout Orange County, plus Los Angeles, the Inland Empire and San Diego.
Do you do intumescent on exposed architectural steel?
Yes. We apply thin-film intumescent systems with an architectural-grade finish, shop- or field-applied, to the UL design the engineer specifies.
Do you handle both fireproofing and painting on the same project?
Yes. Our commercial painting division uses the same crews and safety program, which simplifies coordination for the GC.
