"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."

"Kenneth did a wonderful job for us for the past three years! He even got and installed new gutter guards. As a result of his excellent work, three more neighbors added him to their lists of chosen workers. He is extremely professional, and is a delight to work with. I highly recommend Kenneth."

Sandblasting Services questions, answered by experts

Sand is a common sublayer for hardscape features like driveways, paver patios, and more. Most projects that involve sand require a 1-inch layer to promote evenness, drainage, and weight distribution. For further drainage, most projects have a 6-inch minimum layer of gravel beneath the sand. 

The cost of sandblasting depends on the scope of the project, the surface type, labor, and equipment required. Services typically cost between $50 and $80 per hour, though most professionals charge by surface area at a rate of $1.50 to $7 per square foot. Total project costs can range from $700 to $12,500, with an average homeowner spending around $3,200 to sandblast a 1,000-square-foot surface.

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.

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 paint type, surface condition, labor, and required prep work for repainting.
