"Just Aeration has been taking care of all my lawn needs for several years. From mowing to fertilization to tilling to pest control, they have continuously done an excellent job keeping my lawn looking great. We get compliments all the time from neighbors. They also took over managing care and maintenance of my trees and shrubs last year. Big difference in attention to detail from Trugreen (prior service that just sprayed without really looking and solving problem areas)."

"They were on time and very personable. Work was done in a timely fashion and the carpet looks great. They pre-treated some areas and the carpet didn't take long time to dry. Most importantly, they didn't leave my house a mess like another carpet cleaning service I used a few years ago. I would definitely recommend them and I will be using them again."

"Milton responded to my request for service within an hr and was ready to do the job the next day! He went above and beyond with ensuring my house was prestine. Milton really pays attention to details as he saw scuff marks on my doors as well as ensured windows were clean...he even cleaned my small porch! He left everything as it was and left nothing behind. His price was very reasonable and will definitely be hiring him again as well as referring him to my community 😁"

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
