"My mother had grass and weeds growing out of her second story gutters! Fly By Might provided excellent service. The also cleaned the roof of debris as well as the gutters. I would highly recommend this company. Their customer service is excellent and if you have to leave a message for a call back, they do so promptly. Five of five stars from me! I will definitely use them again in the future."
"Service provided was thorough, careful, and professionally done. Although he arrived later than I had anticipated, he got right to work and used his time wisely and competently. I will hire him again. "
"Evergreen Lanscaping was very professional and efficient. They cleaned the gutters from my home so quickly and in time for the rainy season. I had a lot of moss growing in my roof and they assisted me in placing a chemical to remove the moss naturally. They did an amazing job!"
"Our old sprinkler system had sprung several leaks and needed to be replaced. I called Gabriels Gardens, was told that he would be here at noon the next day and he showed up at 11:55.
We discussed the needed repairs, agreed upon a price and I was told that they would start the following Monday at 9:00. The workers showed up at 8:30 and got right to work digging up what turned out to be about 4 old systems. They added a couple of sprinkler heads to give the yard complete coverage, uncovered a couple of others I didn't even know we had and added a zone to the system to make it more effective at no additional cost.
After the work was finished the crew did a wonderful job of cleaning up, including a couple of areas that weren't their mess. They topped it all off by trimming a couple of bushes and seeding some bare patches in the yard.
I signed up for a twice a year maintenance program they offer and in the spring I plan to have them back to re-seed the front yard.
This company is fast, professional, friendly and efficient. In addition to sprinkler systems they offer a wide variety of landscaping and home maintenance services ."
"I was very pleased with Grant. He also took care of a leaking skylight which had caused some major fungus. I will definitely refer him to my friends."
"Prompt service, and they came back when they said they would to finish. They don't leave you waiting and wondering. It too several visits to get everything done, so their reliability was essential. They worked hard and did a great job. Would definitely use them again!"
"Went well. Also pressure washed concrete steps to show what driveway would look like if we want it done. Now we do! My roof was pretty bad from living under many fir trees. Rob made it look better than it has in many years. Thanks!"
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.
You can concrete can be done when it’s wet or dry. However, it’s safer when wet, as harmful dust and chemicals are present. Sanding it when dry is faster, but you’ll agitate more dust and chemicals, meaning you’ll need to be more careful.
The cost of sandblasting depends on the scope of the project, the surface type, labor, and equipment required. Services typically cost between $50 and $80 per hour, though most professionals charge by surface area at a rate of $1.50 to $7 per square foot. Total project costs can range from $700 to $12,500, with an average homeowner spending around $3,200 to sandblast a 1,000-square-foot surface.
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.
Because these two systems have different applications, there is no definitive answer to which is better. When working with sturdy materials, sandblasting is cheaper and faster, but more delicate projects require soda blasting. Before choosing either option, consider your specific needs, particularly your ultimate goal (cleaning, removing rust, prepping for painting, etc.), the material, and your budget.
