Municipal Infrastructure Protection. National Reach. 100% Self-Performing.

Across the United States, city light poles and traffic signals are the quiet backbone of public safety and community pride. When poles become rusted, faded, or covered in graffiti, it doesn’t just look bad—it leads to structural failure and expensive replacements. At RSP Painting, we specialize in high-volume municipal light pole painting and refinishing for cities, boroughs, townships, and villages of all sizes.

We are a 100% self-performing company. This means we do not hire subcontractors. Every pole is prepped and painted by our own background-checked, safety-trained RSP employees. From historic downtown decorative lamps to massive highway traffic signals, we have the specialized equipment and national experience to protect your community’s assets.

Protect your city’s infrastructure. Call us at 800-538-6723 for a professional consultation.

What We Paint for Cities & Townships

We provide total restoration for every type of vertical asset in your municipality.

• Street Light Poles: We paint standard residential and arterial street lights. We use UV-resistant coatings that prevent “chalking” and keep your streets looking bright and uniform.

• Traffic Signal Poles: We refinish the heavy-duty poles that hold your stoplights. We follow DOT color standards to ensure they remain highly visible for drivers.

• Decorative & Historic Lamps: We specialize in restoring cast-iron and ornamental lighting found in historic downtowns and parks. We can match any historic color or finish.

• High-Mast Highway Lighting: We own our own high-reach boom lifts (up to 120 feet) to paint the massive towers found at interchanges and major intersections.

• Bridge & Overpass Lighting: Our crews are trained in specialized rigging to safely paint lights mounted on bridges and overpasses.

• Park & Trail Lighting: We refresh lighting in public parks, walking trails, and sports complexes, using fast-drying paints that are safe for public areas.

• Crosswalk & Pedestrian Signals: We paint the poles and hardware for pedestrian crossings, ensuring they stay rust-free and functional.

• Bollards & Sign Posts: We paint safety bollards, street sign posts, and parking lot poles to give your entire town a clean, managed look.

2. National Fleet of Equipment: We don’t wait for rental companies. We bring our own boom lifts, pressure washers, and specialized rigging to your city.

Large FAQ Area (City & Township Questions)

How does RSP Painting handle so many poles at once? We are one of the largest self-performing light pole contractors in the country. We can scale our crews to handle anything from a 20-pole village project to a 5,000-pole city-wide contract. We work in “zones” to ensure the job is organized and fast.

What is your process for rusted poles? We never just “paint over” rust. We pressure wash every pole to remove road salt and grime. Then, we use power tools to grind away the rust. We apply a high-performance primer that chemically bonds to the metal before applying the final color coat.

Will the paint get on cars or sidewalks? No. We are experts at working in “live” environments. We use specialized shields and car covers to prevent overspray. We check wind speeds every morning and stop work if conditions are not safe for spraying.

Can you match our city’s specific color? Yes. Whether your city uses “Safety Red,” “Forest Green,” “Federal Black,” or a custom historic bronze, we use digital color matching to ensure every pole looks identical across your entire township.

How do you handle poles that have dog urine or salt damage at the base? This is common and is often called the “Hot Zone.” We apply an extra-thick “Mastic” coating to the bottom 24 inches of the pole. This provides a much thicker barrier against the high acidity of dog urine and the corrosive effects of winter road salt.

Do you paint the concrete bases too? Yes. We can clean and paint the concrete bases with specialized masonry coatings to make them look as new as the metal poles above them.

Are your workers safe around traffic? Yes. All RSP employees are trained in work-zone safety. We use safety cones, high-visibility vests, and strobe lights on our equipment to ensure our crews and your residents stay safe while we work.

How long does the paint last? Because we use industrial-grade materials and do the right prep work, our coatings typically last between 10 and 15 years. This is much longer than standard paint, saving the city money in the long run.

How do we get a quote for a large municipal project? Just call 800-538-6723. We can review your city maps, look at photos, or do a site walk-through to give you a clear, fixed price for your entire project.

Are you licensed and insured? Yes. We carry full liability insurance and workers’ compensation for all 50 states. We are a professional corporation with the bonding capacity to handle large government contracts.

• Cities & Large Metros
