Very happy with the services provided. I would definitely recommend.
"Very pleased with this provider. He gets the work done when he says he would. Over the last year, I also asked him to do some other work like cleaning the gutter or blowing the leaves."
"Service was fantastic. Mike was great on the phone when answering all my questions and scheduling the service. Thomas showed up to do the work. He was right on time, super friendly, and the service was great. The job was perfect. He cleaned up afterwards so well that it almost looked like he cleaned out all my flower beds. I will definitely call these guys again. Family business that is a pleasure to work with."
"Midway Landscaping was great. They came out with very short notice and removed all our leaves and there were a lot! They did it very quickly & efficiently. We will hire them again for other lawn services for sure."
"I worked with Pat, Phillip, and Felippe. All of them were great and care about their clients’ needs. Patrick quoted a fair price in comparison to other landscapers. I received excellent service, and more importantly, Pat made suggestions along the way to minimize the cost of my project. I am a very happy customer!"
"They responded to me the very next day and found a schedule that worked with mine. I needed the service as soon as possible and they exceeded my expectations. Very fast service and friendly customer service!"
"Excellent job cleaning house siding, front porch, sidewalk, driveway, basement steps, gutters, and windows in/out, including screens. Santos and teammate arrived timely, were friendly and courteous, and worked efficiently around the house to complete this job. They performed quality work on all portions of this large project. Highly recommend a&c services and would hire them again."
"They did an amazing job! They were timely and very professional! I would definitely recommend them and will be hiring them again for gutter cleaning and other services this year as well."
Sandblasting Services questions, answered by experts
Sandblasting removes old paint, rust, and grime efficiently, providing a clean surface for refinishing.
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.
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 disadvantages of sandblasting are noise, mess, and risk. Sandblasters are louder than chainsaws and spread debris on the ground and through the air. Let your neighbors know that you're sandblasting so they can prepare. Sandblasting can damage your property if not done properly, so thoroughly vet any pros you talk to before hiring.
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.
