"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!!"
"The owner Mark and his crew were AWESOME! I called he came by a day later...was so friendly and professional. I had our estimate the next afternoon and it was just that easy the whole time. The crew were fantastic...great attention to detail, friendly, neat, organized and just all around good people. I told him what I needed, colors I wanted and he delivered samples and constructive ideas but never pushy. We were going to paint our inside ourselves but during the outside process we decided we needed them to do it and they were very accommodating in squeezing us in. Mark is hands on and it is very apparent in talking with Juan (the lead on-site) that Mark is well respected by his crew and that it is reciprocated. I rarely write recommendations but VIP is exactly how you will feel when you hire Mark and his crew to take care of your home, inside and out...It’s tough finding good, honest people to take care of projects but we were incredibly fortunate to have found Mark, Juan and his entire VIP family to help us."
"They were fast and efficient. Did a great job. I still need to do some organizing, but at least I have a clean environment to work in. Thanks Ivonne!"
"Matt and his helper did an excellent job. Showed up on time, did the work well, was professional and courteous. This is how customer service should be!"

Sandblasting Services questions, answered by experts
Sandblasting is useful when you need to strip material off a hard surface. Common reasons to sandblast are to remove paint, rust, or get a surface ready for a new material. You aren’t limited to surfaces like walls either—you can sandblast rusted tools, bicycle frames, cement, bricks, and many others. If what you’re sandblasting is still structurally sound, sandblasting can be a fast and inexpensive way to revive the original material.
There are two ways sandblasting could be dangerous: improper use of the equipment so that the stream touches your skin, and air particles created during the sandblasting process. While the first is easier to avoid and fairly obvious, the second has the potential to be more serious and is much more difficult to understand. This is why you should always hire a pro to sandblast, as they understand the dangers associated with the process. If proper safety measures are taken, then sandblasting is rarely dangerous.
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.
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.
Costs depend on surface material, labor, debris disposal, and the type of blasting media used.
