"He was great. He's very polite. He's reliable. It says Family Powerwashing but he is a one man band. He has a big white box truck and there are reels and reels in the back of that when he opens his door. There are a huge engine and different concentrates of the different kinds he uses. So, he pulls up onto your property and when he's finished he wraps it all up and off he goes. He was able to be gentle in some area and really go after it in the eaves of the boat house where there are spiders. He did a wonderful job. There was a day that he said he was going to come finish up and he didn't show up. His prices aren't the cheapest but it is worth it. He answers his calls and gets back to you. Sometimes you have to wait a little bit for his services. He's not going to show up that day or the next day. His punctuality is not great. He'll say, I'll see you tomorrow morning at 8:00 and he might not show up until 9:00. He is honest in his work. He knows he has a job to do and he does it to the best of his ability. He doesn't rush through it and drive away. He takes his time to do a job that he's satisfied with."

Sandblasting Services questions, answered by experts

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.

Costs depend on paint type, surface condition, labor, and required prep work for repainting.

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.

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.
