So I had dropped off some Parts to get powder coated at another local place, i will not say their name but they had my parts for 2 months sitting in the same spot. So I decided to give islands a try and my business. in 2 days the had my parts done! 2 days what took another shop 2 months to not even do. The price was a little on the high side but you get what you pay for. The parts came out perfect. They were organized, they tagged my parts and wrote the tag number on the invoice with the color I asked for etc. I got a call a day before the parts were promised saying they were done. I'm very happy to have found a reliable, good quality powdercoater. I will definitely continue giving them my business. read more

So far not happy at all with their customer service. They don't answer the phone and the salesman we delt with is ghosting us.

I had a small table powder coated. They did a great job and turned it around quickly.

Powder coated my trailer at island and rust is already coming thru , didn't sand blast good enough or didn't put enough powder coating on

I been powder coating here for a few years now.. my last few experiences have not been great. The last two times I took in some fences and gates to get powder coated, I got the price up front and I was happy with it but when I went back to pick up my stuff the price had changed drastically by about $200 and to top it off the end result was garbage.. I asked to talk to the owner but he was avoiding me so I talked to the manager (Rosario) and all he said was "if you don't like it go somewhere else" and that's exactly what I'll be doing! read more

The worst service ever. Joe... you have terrible customer service. Thank you for telling me you're "too busy" for my business. I can't imagine why anyone would deal with your cockiness. So rude and obnoxious. If you can't do something right, don't play it off like you can do anything then tell me that I can't afford what you offer. Thanks for disregarding my possessions and the scratches you left on my property. read more

When I picked up my parts, I noticed many problems; chips, weird scrapes, and even worse, one part was smashed badly by one of the employees and then just powder coated over it. They also completely lost two of my parts. Both of which are very rare car parts for a restoration I'm in the middle of. I must say that Joe did repair the part that was smashed, but did not offer to refund me for the parts he lost. The communication between the ladies in the office and the workers in back seems pretty bad. They all seemed very confused when asked simple questions. Very unorganized, so don't expect calls from anyone telling you your parts are finished. Can't say that I'll be coming back. read more

See all

I had my motorcycle fender powder coated. They did a wonderful job and it took less than a week.

This place is terrible when it comes to the deadline. They told me my rims would take about a week to be finished. Well, it took almost 2 1/2. On top of that, the rims weren't even that good of a job. They had small bubbles in the powder coated rims that they painted. I would of gave them 1 star, but their price is the best in town. Sorry, but I won't be coming back. read more

Excellent service. I have been going to Islands for years and am only writing this review because I saw the negative review by Bryan and wanted to give my positive point of view. Also Bryan is full of it, if as he says, they mixed yellow and green powder it would be blue in some places. I doubt he was even a customer. I have known Joe for over 10 years and his work is good and they are very fussy never sloppy, that is why I go there. Also, Joe is a really good guy, not an asshole. read more

I'd gotten a price quote from abacus across the street, my phone even recorded the conversation. When I got there they doubled the price, so I played back the phone conversation and the lady said o shit, yeah well sorry, our price is our price. they lied to get me to come in the door. Anyways, this place (islands) is cheaper anyways, go here read more

I cannot even begin to tell you how rude and dishonest Joe is. Long story short lied about my stuff being ready. Drove far to get there had the day off as kid sick he said chairs were ready. Got there they were not confronted him and he swore at me in front of my 6 year old daughter, so sent hubby down numerous times but never there could not find them etc- eventually they charged to deliver as we would not go down again. The work was so bad I burst out crying and refused to pay so they took my midcentury hoop chairs with them.. short of it I ended up losing a set of 4 treasured chairs which I am sure they sold at a profit and I was treated like dirt read more

They did a good job with restoring and delivering my patio furniture but they have 2 chairs and 2 end tables that need to be completed and delivered. I call all the time, Joe never calls back. No one seems to know where my furniture is. It has been 6 months of waiting....... read more

Rude as hell, made my project manager cry. She's the most polite person I know....that's why she's my project manager. The Supervisor screams at people in front of their children...really? You can't find a better way to speak to a person? My design firm will NEVER ever consider this place for my business again. The very definition of unprofessional. You call for a pickup time, they commit, you show up, they are no where near ready. They panic, they yell. read more

I came in and dropped off a bike frame to be sanded and powder coated after being referred here by a local bike shop. I was hoping to get a professional looking paint job on my bike, what I got was sloppy work and terrible service. I was told the bike might be ready in 5 days but it ended up taking 10. I had asked for a mix of yellow and green and at a distance the color was good. Once I got closer though I discovered that the ENTIRE bike was coated in dust particles. There were red specks all over and I even found hair in the clear coat. When I pointed this out to the workers I was told "The painter explained that there would be specks when you dropped it off." He doesn't speak English! How could he have "explained" that to me? The owner Joe then started complaining that "this is why we shouldn't paint bikes" because my $80 dollars is unimportant. He was very dismissive and even blamed me saying you shouldn't have mixed the colors. How am I supposed to know that? No one told me when I dropped it off. All I got was "OK no problem." The fact of the matter is this place does sloppy work. I would have been better off buying some spray paint and doing it myself. read more
