OUR STORY
ABOUT BASE
​We operate a highly diverse painting company that
primarily uses rope access as our main method for reaching challenging locations. We travel across the country to find iconic structures in each town that require paint protection. We take pride in consistently raising industry standards and going where no other company would date to go to safeguard Americas iconic landmarks
FOUNDED IN 2007
In 2007, The BASE Group was founded by Rich Purnell, a full-time sponsored ice climber. He discovered he could turn his passion for climbing into a business by painting tall, iconic structures. Rich initially started his venture by painting a few small buildings in Denver on his own. Little did he know that demand for his unique skills would grow nationwide within a few years.
Today, the company is known for painting significant landmarks such as State Capitol buildings, roller coasters, and stadiums across the country. Now, 15 years later, we have worked on unique projects nationwide and have received several awards from industry leaders. We are one of the few companies that specialize in challenging painting projects in seemingly inaccessible places—areas that most contractors hesitate to tackle. We take pride in our ability to paint in these difficult locations, demonstrating our commitment, assurance, and precision in every job we undertake.
