"I called A+ Painting Service and talked to Shannon. He was very
polite and professional, took down my information (address and phone
number), and said he would come out and take a look. I told him I was
leaving shortly and would not be available. He said I didn't need to
be there when he came by. Within two hours Shannon called me
with an estimate and explained what needed to be done in regards
 to materials and labor and gave me a firm quote. The
quote was right in the ballpark with other quotes. Shannon called
back the next day and gave me his web site to look at with past projects.
The site was very impressive, you could see that Shannon is a professional
and he know his business, however after much thought I decided go with
anther company who had a few more wright ups on Angies List.

"The service went really well. They did a really good job. The price was good. There were two people that came to complete the service and they were here for less than an hour. They were just very professional, prompt, and on-time. They left the area clean when they left."

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.

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.

You can concrete can be done when it’s wet or dry. However, it’s safer when wet, as harmful dust and chemicals are present. Sanding it when dry is faster, but you’ll agitate more dust and chemicals, meaning you’ll need to be more careful.

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.

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.
