"Great job. Arrived on time. Made my house look brand new. Good job cleaning mildew from bricks. Mailbox post went from slightly white to bright white. Went the extra mile and washed pollen from deck and furniture. Great service. Mr. Grant was very friendly with a professional attitude about his work. Eager to please. Will definitely use again. I highly recommend."
"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. "
"They did an amazing job! They were timely and very professional! I would definitely recommend them and will be hiring them again for gutter cleaning and other services this year as well."
"I have used Freestate Tree Service before, as they always do a great job. This experience was not different. I had to have a dying Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) removed, approximately 30 feet tall. They promptly responded to my initial e-mail to have them come out and check to see if the tree was able to be saved (it wasn't, which was no surprise) and e-mailed an estimate the next day. The other two companies (one wasn't able to get someone out to look at the tree until 2 weeks from my e-mail) and the one that did stop by gave an over-the-phone quote that was significantly higher. The Freestate guys showed up bright and early to start cutting away at the tree. They always seem to do quite a lot of work in a rather short amount of time. By the afternoon the tree was gone and they were cleaning up."
"With only a week left before I was to move and get my house on the market I was in a panic! Called many companies, and Atlantic took care of me. Not only did they do an amazing landscaping job lmulching and yard waste clean up) they did it quickly and with amazing care. They saved me! Absolutely recommend, great team and great service."
"I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal special offer for this service and the young man who came out was very efficient, pleasant and it was a good experience. He came almost immediately after I purchased the Big Deal."
Sandblasting Services questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
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.
