Your Partner in Surface Prep
I'm Dianna To, and at Strategic Surface Solutions, a woman and minority-owned
business, I'm dedicated to elevating industry standards in surface preparation. My
work involves not only translating complex specifications into practical solutions, but
also actively advocating for robust product testing and urging spec owners to refine
their surface preparation requirements, ensuring they transcend the limitations of
coating manufacturers' SDS.

Here's what drives me
I’ve seen firsthand how unethical practices and a lack of transparency can undermine even the most critical projects and specifications. That's why I broke away from companies that prioritized profit over integrity. I wanted to build something different. My mission is to bring honesty and accountability to the coatings and corrosion industry. I believe in doing business with integrity, and building lasting relationships based on trust.
Deep Industry Involvement:
My industry engagement spans multiple fronts. From chairing AMPP's Surface Preparation Standards and contributing to the NSRP’s Surface Prep and Coatings Panel, to active involvement in various committees, I ensure my guidance is consistently current and practically applicable.

Relationship-Driven
I prioritize building genuine connections, understanding that every project and client is unique. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. I take the time to listen, learn, and tailor my approach to your specific needs. By facilitating open dialogue and fostering strong relationships between all stakeholders—specifiers, asset owners, and contractors—I create a cohesive team environment that drives efficiency and achieves exceptional results.
Independent Perspective
I believe in collaborative improvement. For manufacturers, this means working together to develop and refine products that meet the highest industry standards. I'll provide guidance on testing, certification, and specification inclusion. But I'll also challenge you to think critically about your product's performance and market positioning. I'll provide honest assessments, even if they contradict your initial assumptions, because I believe that constructive feedback is essential for achieving true excellence.
