"Amruss offered to come the next day - which was the Thanksgiving holiday ! They came and performed the service at 8 am, and got the job done. Invoice sent by email immediately. Their payment web page to pay with my credit card was easy and clear."
"Scot at Aqua Pro was very responsive and nice. He let me know exactly how long he needed to put together an estimate (2 days), and provided it on time. He actually went to my house and looked around the exterior to provide a more accurate estimate. His estimate was thorough, and he even gave me some advice on different options for the washing and stain. We ultimately decided to go with someone else for the siding because we had a coupon, and we opted out of the deck washing and staining because it was too expensive. I don't know if Aqua Pro is too expensive, or if it is just expensive to pay anyone to provide that service. But if we change our minds, I would contact Scot again. "
"Excellent, professional service. We were very pleased with their work. The windows/doors sparkle. As well, lovely people. Definitely would hire again."
"Excellent. Very responsive and very professional. Took the time to explain what would work best and showed up the following day to get everything done. Pricing was very fair and also provided services some other companies were charging triple for."
"Noe showed up immediately, no questions asked and did service at reasonable price, cleaned gutters, and the downspouts completely at a time in which we had overflowing gutters and water in the basement. He was communicative, clean, and I look forward to long relationship with him and his company."
"Haris Inc has done many jobs for us over the years and have always done an excellent job. Prices are reasonable,too. Very nice person, too, who will work with you so that you get what you want."
Sandblasting Services questions, answered by experts
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 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.
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.
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.
