"Kurt was very responsive, highly knowledgeable and honest. He assessed my deck and porches and recommended a course of action that would be cost effective and look good. He was very thorough in answer all my questions and explaining the rationale for his recommendations. I will definitely contact Kurt again for my deck and porch needs. Highly recommend!"
"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."
"I am satisfied with the work. Mike was punctual and professional. He was out doing the work very quickly after we finalized the price. House and other surfaces look great."
"Mr. Ray Briggs and his team are outstanding from start-to-finish! They were extremely courteous, knowledgeable and professional. They clearly explained the work that needed to be done - they arrived early and worked tirelessly throughout the week and weekends. Second-to-None - I highly recommend their professional services!"
"I'm new to Angie's List and purchased a Angie's Big Deal for power washing with UltraBrite. Within two hours from when I purchased the Big Deal online on a Saturday afternoon, the owner, Tom, called me to set up an appointment. We scheduled an appointment for cleaning on the following Wednesday since I had to take a day off anyway for some window replacement service in my home (which I also chose via Angie's). Tom showed up 15 minutes early from our schedule time. Unfortunately, the contractors for my window service were still busy working with their truck, equipment and windows still spread out on my drive way, so Tom could not clean my driveway. Although I felt bad that he couldn't provide his service that day, Tom graciously offered to come another day when I was available. The day Tom power washed my areas, he was very prompt, friendly, courteous, and professional. He did a fantastic job cleaning my front patio, walkway, and driveway. He even offered suggestions to remove mildew on some large planters on my patio. I would not hesitate using Ultrabrite again and highly recommend them for their services. Thanks. "
Sandblasting Services questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
Most projects take 1-3 days, depending on the surface area and complexity.
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.
Sand is a common sublayer for hardscape features like driveways, paver patios, and more. Most projects that involve sand require a 1-inch layer to promote evenness, drainage, and weight distribution. For further drainage, most projects have a 6-inch minimum layer of gravel beneath the sand.
