"I’ve worked with Nora over several years and she’s been great for us. She does a great job cleaning and is very thorough. She’s also got a great attitude and is very responsive to feedback - When I’ve asked her to do more in one area or I have a particular request about how I want it done, she’s always willing to make the change and thanks me for telling her. My favorite day is coming home to a fresh clean house after Nora has been there!"
"Great Company. Received a call from web site within hours, provided a competitive quote over the phone, and had a tech at the house the next day to do both homes. Messy job but couldn't even tell they were there, except the gutters were clean of course."
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.
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.
Costs depend on paint type, surface condition, labor, and required prep work for repainting.
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.
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.
