"Our condo association's 6 car garage was in need of tuck pointing.  We were not looking to have the entire garage tuck pointed; only the areas that really needed repair.  We called 4 different companies for estimates.  Two companies never returned our phone call and one of the companies would only repair the entire garage.  Windy City Masonry called us within hours of us leaving a message.  Within 2 days we had an estimate and pictures of exactly what sections of the garage repair the estimate covered and the cost was  reasonable.  Normally we obtain 3 estimates before a decision is made however we were impressed with Windy City Masonry's professionalism and therefore contracted them for the work.   We are extremely satisfied with the work that was done and the communication throughout the process.  They are perfectionists!"

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.

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.

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.

Most projects take 1-3 days, depending on the surface area and complexity.

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.
