About Costello Protective Coatings in Lafayette, LA

Four Generations of Protective Coatings Experience Serving Lafayette and Beyond

Costello Protective Coatings is a licensed, insured, four-generation painting and protective coatings company based in Lafayette, LA, serving residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial clients across a 600-mile regional footprint. What started as a door-to-door, word-of-mouth operation has grown into a multi-state coatings business still grounded in the same direct relationships that built it.


The business has passed through four generations of the Costello family. Today, Grandfather Jack, his son Wickey, and twin grandsons Jackson and Hudson run day-to-day operations together. That continuity means the knowledge, standards, and accountability built over more than 30 years in the industry carry forward in every project the team takes on.


From the start, Costello Protective Coatings has built its reputation through community presence and consistent work—not advertising. That approach still shapes how the company operates: clients across Lafayette and the surrounding region have come to expect straightforward communication, careful surface preparation, and durable finishes that hold up over time.

A Regional Coatings Company with Lafayette Roots and a Multi-State Reach

Costello Protective Coatings operates across a 600-mile radius from its Lafayette base, serving clients in Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Missouri, and Iowa. That regional scope—covering markets from Houston to Memphis to Kansas City—reflects decades of experience working across varied surfaces, structures, and project types rather than a single local niche.


Lafayette's climate, with its heat, humidity, and seasonal moisture, puts real demands on painted and coated surfaces. Proper preparation and finish selection matter in this environment, and the Costello team's more than 30 years of regional work informs how they approach surface protection in conditions that cause inferior coatings to fail early.


The company's work spans residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial projects. Each category brings its own surface considerations, exposure conditions, and finish requirements—and the Costello team's generational experience across all four means they approach each project with context, not a one-size approach.



Costello Protective Coatings has been a part of the Lafayette community for generations, and that connection continues to drive how the business operates—through direct relationships, consistent follow-through, and work that speaks for itself.
