"We are very pleased with the work.  Shannon and his team did a great job and were very impressive in their follow through.  They even came back a couple of times to fix a few small details and wanted to make sure we were completely happy with the job.  We would definitely use them again.  Highly recommended.

"In the process of scheduling in November 2016, provider had a family emergency. Clearly, being flexible was the right thing to do, so it was fine. Provider sent emails out a couple times through January 2017 updating customers on situation and assuring us service would be completed, but not saying when. Then communication stopped. I made two attempts to contact them in February and March, but received no response. Service was finally performed in late April 2017, after provider requested coming on their own schedule, and I agreed. Service was performed well, once it finally happened. But between January and April I was left wondering if I'd dropped money into a hole and would never hear from the provider again. Life happens, obviously, I just wish there had been better communication."

Sandblasting Services questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Your pro will most likely bill you at an hourly rate of $50 to $80 per hour to sandblast a door due to its small size. This type of job won't take long, so if you have other surfaces that need cleaning, schedule those tasks at the same time to get your money's worth from your pro's visit.

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.
