"Christian came by and surveyed the loose shingles and gave us a quote. We called him and we set up a time he would be back in a couple of days. He came by but the color of the shingles didn't match so he came back by a few days later after we realized that our shingles were still on the roof. Christian came back and re-installed our shingles while we were gone and didn't charge us. Wow, were were surprised with that kind of service! We are sending him a gift card for his job! i was just so grateful! We don't see this kind of kindness very often and we want him to know just how much we appreciated this! We will definitely recommend SOUTHERN GRACE EXTERIORS to any of our friends or neighbors in the future and we will definitely use them again ourselves.
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.
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.
Regular sealing and repainting help maintain the restored surface’s durability.
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.
Costs depend on paint type, surface condition, labor, and required prep work for repainting.
