absolutely wonderful! dependable fast and friendly service highly recommend
"Mostly well, but the patio was left wet with spotting and debris from his mop. I was told to let the rain wash it off. However, no rain so I had to scrub the debris off several days later with a push broom and hose. Under the spotting and debris, the patio mildew was gone."
"Mr. Gregory promptly returned my call and came the very next day to give me an estimate and perform the service. I have a large property with many trees, most of which had lost their leaves. Removing them was a monumental task. Mr. Gregory worked from 9:30 a.m. until it became dark and then returned the next morning to finish the task. He'd given me an estimate before he realized how long the leaf removal would take and did not raise his price even though the job took many more hours than he anticipated. In addition, he cut my front lawn without charging me. I plan to use him for lawn services in the future "
"Excellent. Professional, Honest and Fair. Crew was very thorough, friendly and cleanup left property in better condition than was originally. I would consider Victor and crew for other inside and outside jobs in the future."
"Excellent, Evans Painting is a wonderful team to work with! We highly recommend their service and we will be using them again. Can’t ask for a more reasonably priced service from a team of honest and concerned men."
"The call was placed and he returned service call promptly. Set up appointment / he was going to be delayed slightly and called to inform me. I appreciate that call as many service companies just let you wait without consideration of your time. "
Sandblasting Services questions, answered by experts
Sandblasting refers to the process of cleaning a surface using compressed air and aggregate. Soda blasting is the gentlest type of this method, but it differs from sandblasting that uses mineral or other aggregate, since sodium bicarbonate breaks apart more easily than other forms of blast media and, therefore, cannot be reused.
Sanding and pressure washing serve different purposes in deck maintenance, so one is not necessarily better than the other. Pressure washing is ideal for annual cleaning to remove dirt, grime, mold, and mildew. Sanding is a deeper restoration method used to smooth rough surfaces, remove an old finish, and prepare the wood for a new coat of stain or paint. The ideal process for refinishing a deck is to first clean it (with a power washer), then sand it, and finally apply the new stain or finish. While cleaning should be done annually, sanding and staining are typically needed only every one to three years.
DIY is possible, but professional services ensure even removal, safety compliance, and proper cleanup.
The disadvantages of sandblasting are noise, mess, and risk. Sandblasters are louder than chainsaws and spread debris on the ground and through the air. Let your neighbors know that you're sandblasting so they can prepare. Sandblasting can damage your property if not done properly, so thoroughly vet any pros you talk to before hiring.
The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.
