Meet the Owner
Hi, I’m Walter Hawthorne — a proud husband, father of two daughters, and a resident of Phenix City, Alabama. I’m a U.S. military veteran and former firefighter, and throughout my life, I’ve always been driven by service, hard work, and commitment to my community. In 2020, I started a lawn care and maintenance business with a simple goal: do honest, dependable work that people can trust. That same mindset led me to invest in Custom Coatings in 2024, where I now focus on delivering high-quality powder coating and sandblasting services with the same dedication and attention to detail I’ve brought to every role I’ve held.
