Get matched with top sandblasting pros in Belzoni, MS

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.

Sanding and pressure washing are both effective ways of maintaining your deck, but one method isn’t necessarily better than the other. Instead, they have different purposes and benefits. Pressure washing cleans dirt and grime off a deck and should be done every year. Sanding removes the old finish and prepares a deck for staining or sealing. This should be done every one to two years.

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.

The costs range from $2 to $5 per square foot, depending on the surface type, labor, and equipment required.
