What We Do

Painting, Coatings & Floors —
One Trusted Team

🖌

Interior Painting

Professional interior painting for residential and commercial spaces. Clean lines, careful prep, and lasting results — walls, ceilings, trim, and cabinetry done right.

🏡

Exterior Painting

Curb appeal that lasts. We properly prep, prime, and paint exterior surfaces to protect your home against the elements while delivering a beautiful, lasting finish.

🏢

Commercial Painting

Interior and exterior commercial painting handled efficiently and professionally — minimizing disruption while delivering the clean, polished finish your business deserves.

Epoxy Flake Systems

Seamless flake broadcast systems combining durability with a decorative finish. Chemical- and stain-resistant with satin or gloss topcoat options. Ideal for garages, showrooms, and commercial spaces.

Metallic Epoxy

Stunning, one-of-a-kind metallic finishes that transform any concrete surface into a showpiece. Perfect for living spaces, basements, patios, and anywhere a distinctive aesthetic matters.

Polyaspartic Topcoats

Non-yellowing, high-quality commercial-grade topcoats that seal and protect. UV-stable and fast-curing — ideal for projects with tight timelines or outdoor exposure.

Custom Wall Coatings

Beyond the floor — our custom wall coatings bring the same premium finish and protection to vertical surfaces, perfect for garages, utility spaces, and commercial environments.

Surface Preparation

Proper prep is the foundation of any lasting coat. We mechanically grind every surface, repair cracks and imperfections, and ensure full adhesion — no shortcuts, no callbacks.

Commercial & Aviation

High-performance resinous systems engineered for commercial, aviation, and specialty facilities across North Carolina. Antimicrobial options available for healthcare and food-service environments.

Floor Care Guide

Protecting Your Investment

✓  Do's
  • Use a soft-bristle broom or dust mop for daily cleaning
  • Mop weekly with a microfiber mop and warm water
  • Use a pH-neutral cleaner to preserve the shine
  • Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining
  • Place mats at entryways to reduce tracked-in grit
  • Use plywood under jacks and heavy equipment
  • Test new cleaning products in a small hidden area first
✕  Don'ts
  • Avoid soap-based cleaners — they leave a cloudy residue
  • Never use acid-based or harsh chemical cleaners
  • Avoid abrasive scrubbing pads that can dull the finish
  • Don't drag heavy or sharp objects across the surface
  • Never apply wax or sealers — they make the floor dangerously slippery
  • Avoid caustic chemicals like motor oil or antifreeze sitting on the surface
The People Behind the Work

Built on Trust.
Driven by Pride.

Distinctive Coatings NC isn't a franchise or a faceless contracting company — it's David Balkus, a craftsman who has been showing up for his clients across North Carolina since 1989. Over 35 years later, he still personally handles every estimate, every job, and every follow-up call.

When David isn't transforming floors and walls, you'll find him smoking brisket for a crowd, cheering on the Chicago Bears, or out volunteering alongside his wife to help rebuild homes and places of worship damaged by natural disasters. That same commitment — to doing things right and showing up for people — is what he brings to every project.

David is supported by his business partner and wife Amaris, their daughter Jordan and her husband Levi, and Waylon, their beloved chocolate lab who keeps the day-to-day operations running smoothly.
