"Excellent service. Knowledgeable , very helpful with any questions and friendly to work with . Top quality results on various and some quite unique/tricky projects. Excellent customer experience from booking and inquiries to final result with impressive turn around time."
"Bill made the time to come over. I tried 3 other businesses and everyone was too busy. He always answered his phone or texts. It wasn't a huge job. But, he also did not take advantage of me by doing more work than needed. I am pleased with the job."
"Bob contacted us right away via phone. I explained what we needed done (purchased the legs of an old lathe that were quite rusted and needed to be sandblasted before we could repurpose them as table legs). He made an appointment with us for the next day to give us an estimate for the project and showed up at the appointed time. He took the legs with him to sandblast them in his shop and promptly returned them the next day ready for us to paint them!"
"Andy did an outstanding of stripping 150 years of paint off the Marshall Point Light in Port Clyde, Maine. The metal was taken down to bright with all paint and extensive rust being removed. This was coordinated with the painters who primed it as soon as it dried. All residue was caught and collected in tarps for proper disposal. No dust was produced. The brickworks and granite blocks were also cleaned down to original surface for priming and recoating. The job was completed timely despite inclement weather. I highly recommend Andy and Aqua Terra for any such project."
"The service man was very friendly, prompt and explained the services that they recommended in detail. Their prices were a little high, and with my insurance, I used another provider."

Costs depend on paint type, surface condition, labor, and required prep work for repainting.
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.
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.
You can concrete can be done when it’s wet or dry. However, it’s safer when wet, as harmful dust and chemicals are present. Sanding it when dry is faster, but you’ll agitate more dust and chemicals, meaning you’ll need to be more careful.
