"The price was reasonable if you could get through the broken english. I just didn't feel comfortable. I wanted someone licensed, bonded, with workers who are US Citizens and English speaking. This was for exterior painting and replacement of rotten wood trim, so I thought what if someone falls off my roof.... Since the owner's English was so bad, I just couldn't pull the trigger. The experience was positive overall, however. If you're ok with someone probably not licensed, I am sure you can get decent work for a good deal. 
This company does business under two different names. SMR and BER Services. I'm not sure why.

"Forgot to do this review so it is very late. The power wash was fine and the workers courteous and helpful. However, as I recall I had a problem with my Verizon service afterwards. Verizon quickly fixed the problem at the box on the exterior of the house. So, my only comment is that next time I have this service done I will try to protect this box - maybe wrap it with a plastic cover. My house and the box were both old so maybe some connection was already loose over the years."

Sandblasting Services questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

Regular sealing and repainting help maintain the restored surface’s durability.
