Great service. Very knowledgeable and very professional. I won’t be using anybody else moving forward. Couldn’t ask for a better service for the price!
"The service was good. Two guys came out to do the work, and they left the area fine. They do a good job. This was the third time I used them. My husband was not feeling well, he was having problems with asthma and so we used them. I don't their prices are out of line."
"D&R did a tremendous job of repairing my cracked and buckled drywall. The quality of work was amazing and even brought his team out during the service to evaluate other work at my residence. Their team was extremely professional, produced high quality results, and was extremely well priced. This was by far my best experience on Angie's List and I highly recommend D&R to anyone who needs work done. "
"Review for Tiles Unlimited James Gutierrez, Owner and Provider of Services Services provided from 2008-2014 When we moved into this property in 2007 there was a barn, approximately 3500 square feet that had been used for horses and not well cleaned or managed for almost nine years. It had a dirt floor and three empty rooms and was infested with vermin. James Gutierrez, the owner of Tiles Unlimited developed a plan to bring the three rooms into modern service and restore a state of cleanliness to the environment. In addition to cleaning and repainting the interior of the rooms, he removed and treated all contaminated dirt, and ran a full length brick floor in a classic old world design pattern down the center aisle. He converted three rooms to my specification for my particular requirements, converting one room to an office which involved locating and preparing for install a granite counter top with sink and helped remodel existing cabinetry to create a small bar top sink arrangement. Following that he designed and built a very elegant tile bathroom with a walk-in travertine shower and modern floor In P3 high durability tile. This required not only advanced tile skills but plumbing and painting skills as well. In the house he added a saltillo tile floor to a large bathroom in the master bedroom. During the summer of this year, 2014, he completely repainted the interior of the house and worked closely with us to experiment with colors including several mid progress changes in color. James was the model of patience and accommodation with our own indecision in the process. You never know what the paint is really going to look like until you get it on the walls. We had made at least one unanticipated change and James was keen on making sure we were going to like what we set out to accomplish. I have additionally three more projects emerging for the coming year. There is no matter of choice where we are concerned as we know that working with James will always mean a 100% effort on his part to make sure we are satisfied. James is very much on top of communications and is the kind of guy who will call you if he is going to be ten minutes late. That is rare these days. I have never had to go looking for him or wonder when things were going to happen. There is a strong sense of personal attention to your needs and desires. We have every confidence in James and have watched his business steadily grow primarily from referrals. His skill base is broad and his willingness to take on difficult projects is admirable. Tiles Unlimited is a small company with a big follow through and always at the top of our list. We most highly recommend this company.
"Owner James Rooks gave a thorough explanation of the job, courteously answered my many questions, and responded promptly to my concerns. I'm very satisfied with his service and the work of his crew."
"We were very happy with the service provided by 360 Painting While they were not the lowest estimate we received, they were well worth the additional minimal investment.. Chris showed-up at the agreed upon time and provided a very detailed estimate. On the first day of this 5-day project, Chris and Teresa showed-up as scheduled and walked the project with their crew and us. On each subsequent day, the crew was timely and pleasant, worked efficiently, took care to protect surfaces not being painted (floors, fireplace, etc.), and cleaned up at the end of each day. Teresa was on site each morning to answer questions, address concerns and inspect the work done the previous day. She also performed a very thorough inspection at the end of the project. We would not hesitate to work with them again."
Sandblasting Services questions, answered by experts
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.
Sandblasting is a common method for removing paint. It works great if the underlying material is tough. This is because you can then use more abrasive sandblast materials, making the paint removal process much faster and less expensive. If you plan on removing many layers of paint on smooth surfaces, you’ll need to be more careful about which materials you choose to use to sandblast.
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.
Regular sealing and repainting help maintain the restored surface’s durability.
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.
