"A team of 3 people showed up to clean the gutters. Very professional. Got it done under 30 mins. The appointment happened very fast, in two days time. No pricing issues as I have utilized their services through their advertized deal. I will be very happy to use their services again. Thank you, A-Z Cleaning Services for your valuable service."

"Rick and his team communicated very well before, during and after the job. The job was done to complete satisfaction. Rick ensured the job was quality work, and even re-did a complete side of the house's finish coat after an unexpected pop-up rain shower left a few streaks. And the kid's enjoyed playing fetch with the 4 legged assistant crew-member, Skittles who we gladly approved to have while Rick was there."

"Paul responded immediately, came out in 2 days to give an estimate, was honest about scheduling and showed up with his team as promised. His expert guidance helped resolve some design questions, he offered his opinion and was easily amenable to minor changes as requested. His work was clean, precise, and the job was wrapped up in 4 days! I would recommend him to anyone needing painting services."

Sandblasting Services questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Sandblasting is useful when you need to strip material off a hard surface. Common reasons to sandblast are to remove paint, rust, or get a surface ready for a new material. You aren’t limited to surfaces like walls either—you can sandblast rusted tools, bicycle frames, cement, bricks, and many others. If what you’re sandblasting is still structurally sound, sandblasting can be a fast and inexpensive way to revive the original material. 

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.
