"Very pleased with LJ’s pressure washing. The pressure washing looks great. It was easy to schedule and got a text saying he was on the way the day of service. LJ was very polite and respectful. Would definitely recommend!"

"The provider has not contacted me to schedule the service.  I prepaid for an Angie's List "Deal" on 7/23/15.  I provided 3 dates to have the service performed during the week of 8/3.  The provider sent me an email confirming they received the request on 7/23 but they have not attempted to contact me since then.  I have called and left a message, I sent 4 email messages and I reached out to Angie's List customer service yesterday.  Still nothing.  I'm very disappointed.  

UPDATE:  Chris reached out to me on 8/11.  He and I agreed to give him a chance to complete the work.  He explained the new process where customers buy packages on line and enter dates for service is new and there will be an adjustment period as they incorporate this into their business plan.  "

"Could not be happier with Jimmy and his crew. He was very professional and so was his entire crew. He sent out Laura to do a quote and showed me the cost room by room. The price we paid was more than fair for the work performed. We closed on the house and they started painting it the next day. I could not ask for better service. So very pleased with them that I am spreading the word to let other people know what a great company this is! Honestly, I haven't hung up a single piece of wall decor because I don't want to mess up my nice walls!!!"

Sandblasting Services FAQs, 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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.
