"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

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.

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 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.

Because these two systems have different applications, there is no definitive answer to which is better. When working with sturdy materials, sandblasting is cheaper and faster, but more delicate projects require soda blasting. Before choosing either option, consider your specific needs, particularly your ultimate goal (cleaning, removing rust, prepping for painting, etc.), the material, and your budget.

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