"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."
"Excellent! Bill was very responsive to my initial inquiry and set a date for the free estimate within a week. Others we contacted couldn't tell us when they could even come out for estimate. Due to the rain we had several delays where he couldn't work and he was prompt about keeping us updated. He shows up right on time and cleans up after the work. He's very easy to work with and is quite knowlegable about repairs. We will most definitely use him again and recommend him to others."
"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."
"They did a good job. It seems like a good job and it didn't leak after they came. They were quite responsive. They showed up when they said they would."
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.
DIY is possible, but professional services ensure even removal, safety compliance, and proper cleanup.
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.
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.
