Painting and Restoring
Over time, the paint wears down, leaving ski lifts looking faded and worn. For older lifts, we carefully preserve as much of the original paint as possible before applying a fresh, durable coat, making them look brand new. Want to update your color scheme? We handle both single and multi-color projects. If you’ve been told, “That can’t be painted,” you haven’t met us yet.
Bolt Tightening
Tram and ski lift towers require regular bolt tightening to maintain safety and stability. Our expert crew—ski bums at heart—thrives on tackling high-altitude challenges, tightening bolts at 300 feet with precision and power. With a six-foot torque wrench delivering 890 foot-pounds of force, we ensure your lifts are secure and ready for action—just not during ski season.

Robert’s love for skiing started at age 4. After moving to the mountains, he landed a job maintaining ski lifts at Squaw Valley. But he wanted more ski time, so when his boss suggested he start painting ski lifts, he jumped on it! Soon, Heavenly Valley and Yan Lifts came calling, and just like that, Tower Painters was born. Now, over 40 years later, Robert and his team are still at it—bringing the same passion and expertise to every project. And yes, Robert still skis 4-5 days a week in the winter.
We’re based in Soda Springs, California, but don’t let that fool you! We’ve painted lifts in California, Alaska, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, and New England. No location is too far if it means delivering the best ski lift painting service in the country.
