Fast and efficient
Good value for services provided
My wife and I have used their services for over nine years. They are the best. We very strongly recommend their services. You will not be disappointed.
"One reason I hired A-Z was because they provided all three services I needed. Their response was prompt and I was able to get a free estimate in one day. The estimate came by text and I was able to approve and book in seconds. The estimate was very reasonable and I even got a small senior discount! I cannot say how pleased I was with the services. My house looks cleaner than it has in years. Would definitely hire again!"
"Great guy! Good sense of humor, very personable. Did a terrific job sandblasting the old paint off our cast aluminium patio set...looks like new. Finished job 4 days ahead of schedule. Would definitely hire again!"
"They did everything I asked for, very thorough. They came out three times. I have a huge semi-cirular driveway, and they dealt with it well. Dan Fox 187 Pleasant Street Arlington, MA 02476"

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.
The cost of sandblasting depends on the scope of the project, the surface type, labor, and equipment required. Services typically cost between $50 and $80 per hour, though most professionals charge by surface area at a rate of $1.50 to $7 per square foot. Total project costs can range from $700 to $12,500, with an average homeowner spending around $3,200 to sandblast a 1,000-square-foot surface.
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.
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.
