The History of American Dry Stripping & Powder Coating

The Jones Family American Dry Stripping 

From small beginnings, American Dry Stripping (ADS) has grown steadily over the years. We continue to expand the company’s visibility and broaden its customer base. Our reputation and service reaches all across the New England area.

Since our inception in 1985, the Jones family cultivated a culture of excellence, integrity and professionalism.

Because of these values, ADS enjoys an unsurpassed reputation. We consistently deliver superior quality abrasive media blasting (surface preparation) and finish powder coating (surface finishing) services. As a result, our growing customers base is the foundation for a robust referral network and a testament of our commitment to maintain the highest standards of service.

An important part of our growth story comes from the business partnerships American Dry Stripping has established with other quality service partners. This is especially important in our automotive restoration market channel where the “perfect outcome” is the standard for exotic and classic car owners.

We have a tight-knit and highly skilled professionals network who are passionate about restoration.

We now offer complete, end-to-end blasting coating services. 

In 2016, we expanded our in-house services, offering high- temperature ceramic coatings, powder coatings and PlasCoat.

Our services are ideal for aerospace, marine, and other commercial and industrial work.


American Dry Stripping & Powder Coating Milestones

1985 – 1988

In 1985, three members of the Jones family — Gary, Russell and Walter — after years of running a successful moving and storage company in Stratford, CT, saw an opportunity in the dry abrasive blast service industry.

The Jones Family launched American Dry Stripping in Fairfield, CT. 

Their expertise and love for cars gave them an excellent foundation to earn an unparalleled reputation for delivering high quality services. With a growing recognition by car lovers and restoration shops in and around the New England region they quickly outgrew that facility and moved to Bridgeport.

In 2003, the City of Bridgeport evoked eminent domain and purchased the Jones’ second property to build a new school.

The Jones brothers decided to do a much-needed third expansion, moving to a 10,000 sq. ft. production facility at the company’s current location in Milford, Connecticut.
