OUR STORY
ABOUT BASE
We operate a highly specialized painting company that relies on rope access to reach the most challenging locations. Traveling nationwide, we seek out iconic structures in every city that need expert paint protection.
​
Our pride lies in raising industry standards and going where others wouldn’t dare—safeguarding America’s most celebrated landmarks for generations to come.
FOUNDED IN 2007
From Cliffs to Icons
In 2007, professional ice climber Rich Purnell founded The BASE Group, transforming his passion for scaling extreme heights into a business painting tall, iconic structures. What began with a few small buildings in Denver quickly grew into a nationwide demand for his rare skill set.
​
Today, BASE Group is trusted to paint America’s landmarks—from State Capitol domes to roller coasters and stadiums—earning multiple industry awards along the way. We specialize in the projects others won’t touch: complex, high-profile, and seemingly inaccessible structures.
​
Every job we take on is a testament to our commitment, precision, and ability to perform where others can’t reach.
