"They did an incredible job for me. They were on time and did an outstanding job by aerating my entire lawn and spreading a top soil/compost mix throughout my front and backyard so the grass seed that I put down in between the aeration and the top soil/compost mix will have a better outcome to germinate and thrive this fall and next spring, summer and fall seasons. I was especially pleased with how much the compost was spread throughout my entire lawn areas, nothing was missed by his crew of hard workers. Great job. I will definitely hire this company going forward again and recommend them to people who stop by and always ask me who my landscaper is."
"Antonio was a pleasure to work with. He crossed ten minutes over the Bay Bridge to service me and did an excellent job. Other companies on Angie's List wouldn't cross the bridge so I am grateful. My light yellow siding is clean again and looks great. I highly recommend Antonio."
"Miguel and his colleague arrived on time and got right to business. They did a great job of power-washing the exterior. I'm very pleased with the service and would use them again."
"Everything went well; very good lawn care service. Was responsive and prompt in contacting me. The prices were reasonable and did a thorough job in a short amount of time."
"Once we decided to take our tree down, I contacted a number of tree services to remove it. Ben from Freestate came out within a couple days and emailed me a very detailed estimate (he was delayed in coming out to do the estimate because of an emergency job, but he emailed me to tell me he would be out first thing the next day). The estimate Ben provided was for the tree removal and the trimming of four other trees, and the price he quoted was the 8-hour Angie's List deal. The price was competitive, and he was able to provide me with evidence of their insurance. We originally scheduled for the 31st of July, but his job on the 30th ran long because of thunderstorms that moved through the area, so instead he said he'd come out on Saturday, August 1. He emailed around 8am on Saturday and said he was packing up his gear and they'd arrive by 9. They showed up at 8:45, came to the door to introduce themselves and got straight to work. They did a fantastic job. The job was bigger than I think anyone realized, so it took longer than 8 hours, but they stayed and worked until it was done. They were professional and courteous (moved out humming bird feeder out of the way so it wouldn't get damaged, even though it was a $10 feeder and I don't really care about it). They knocked on the door a couple times to ask question, like to make sure a tree they were about to trim was actually on our property. They swept up all the tree trimmings and saw dust from the sidewalk and road in front of our house before they left. We are very happy with their service and I expect we will use them again if we need more tree service. "
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.
Costs depend on paint type, surface condition, labor, and required prep work for repainting.
Sandblasting refers to the process of cleaning a surface using compressed air and aggregate. Soda blasting is the gentlest type of this method, but it differs from sandblasting that uses mineral or other aggregate, since sodium bicarbonate breaks apart more easily than other forms of blast media and, therefore, cannot be reused.
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.
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.
