"The service we received was above the other companies around here, and for the prices available you are going to pay less than half the price that other services will. We were having trouble with our walkways because of time constraints as well as finances and the dirt being there aging so long. The owner came and cleared our walkways around the house and through the yard and it was a completely different look. It looked brand new and when we asked about the price, for the first time and for being as we were struggling, he was willing to do the first time for free. He was completely professional as well as personable, and I would recommend Gutt'r Done over any service I've received in the past. The owner personally comes out and quotes it and explains it to understand what you're receiving as well as why the pricing is that way, to provide services that are actually affordable."

Sandblasting Services questions, answered by experts

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.

The disadvantages of sandblasting are noise, mess, and risk. Sandblasters are louder than chainsaws and spread debris on the ground and through the air. Let your neighbors know that you're sandblasting so they can prepare. Sandblasting can damage your property if not done properly, so thoroughly vet any pros you talk to before hiring.

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 surface material, labor, debris disposal, and the type of blasting media used.

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.
