"In the process of scheduling in November 2016, provider had a family emergency. Clearly, being flexible was the right thing to do, so it was fine. Provider sent emails out a couple times through January 2017 updating customers on situation and assuring us service would be completed, but not saying when. Then communication stopped. I made two attempts to contact them in February and March, but received no response. Service was finally performed in late April 2017, after provider requested coming on their own schedule, and I agreed. Service was performed well, once it finally happened. But between January and April I was left wondering if I'd dropped money into a hole and would never hear from the provider again. Life happens, obviously, I just wish there had been better communication."

"We are so pleased with the results that we have already retained Wessel Painting for some exterior work in the Spring.  We also intend to have them do some additional interior work in the future.
All employees demonstrate a strong desire to provide customer satisfaction via superior quality results.  They were very respectful of our home during their work here.  We enjoyed having them help us.
The value proposition from Wessel's is extraordinary.  Great quality at a sensible price.

"Rick did an awesome job. He was extremely professional and on time. His work was top notch and he was very fast. This would have taken me all day! He took his shoes off when he came in which service guys usually don't do and even hung up a couple shelves in our bathroom that had fallen down (only took a few minutes) at no extra charge. I can't speak highly enough of our experience and we will absolutely have them back to do more work for us. A++++

"Rick was very personable. He explained everything he was going to do before he did it. The hole was patched evenly and looks like there was never a hole there. Recommended how to paint bathroom walls, and gave me his card for a discount on paint. I will be using his services again.

Sandblasting Services questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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. 

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.

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.
