"The crew did a fantastic job of removing moss off our roof tiles and washing our home/property from the roof to the driveways. Very professional and has the proper equipment to get any job done. It's so satisfying to pull up to a nice clean home exterior!! I highly recommend them!!"

"Sean and George arraived on time and cleaned my clogged gutters on my multistory house in less than an hour! They were not only quick, but quiet.  It seems the clog was "simply dry dirt and leaves", which they pulled out with their hands. It was explained to me there was no need for power hose to clear down spots...which only weather will tell.  As with all professionals, they bagged and took all the debris with them.

They did a cursory job at best. I would have gladly paid a little more for a complete service, which would include power hosing each down spot of my three-story home.  It't not possible to see if there are any cloggs further down a down spot looking from the roof...or maybe gutter cleaners don't clean down spots, that's a job for another specialist."

Sandblasting Services questions, answered by experts

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.

If you’re DIYing the project, it could take up to a week if you aren’t able to dedicate full-time hours. If you hire a professional and they arrive with a team, expect your stairs to be sanded in as little as 2 hours (for simple projects). Finishing the stairs takes a while longer as there are drying and sealing times to consider, but the actual work will take much less time than the sanding portion.

Costs depend on surface material, labor, debris disposal, and the type of blasting media used.

Sandblasting is a common method for removing paint. It works great if the underlying material is tough. This is because you can then use more abrasive sandblast materials, making the paint removal process much faster and less expensive. If you plan on removing many layers of paint on smooth surfaces, you’ll need to be more careful about which materials you choose to use to sandblast.

Soda-blasting systems are slightly more expensive than sandblasting systems. To soda blast, you’ll need to spend a few hundred dollars for a blast hose and nozzle, a compressed air supply, a blast generator, a moisture decontamination system, and sodium bicarbonate media, a recurring cost because the powder is not reusable. To start with sandblasting, you will need to spend upwards of $30 for a blast pot, a blast gun, an air compressor, and sandblasting media, many of which are recyclable—further reducing the cost. The total cost for either will depend on the size of the system.
