Q: How much does sandblasting exterior surfaces cost?

• <div><p>The costs range from $2 to $5 per square foot, depending on the surface type, labor, and equipment required.</p></div>

Q: What does sand do?

• <div><p>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. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: How long should it take to sand stairs?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re DIYing the project, it could take up to a week if you aren&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: What is the best way to sand a deck?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

They are punctual, efficient, well priced and the customer rep that I talked to when I inquired and later requested their services was not only polite but expressed concern when I called the day after severe weather in our area. She remembered me and where I live. I'd recommend them to anyone!
