FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is sandblasting?

Sandblasting is a surface preparation technique that uses compressed air to propel abrasive media (like sand, glass beads, or steel grit) at high speed to clean, strip, or profile a surface. It's used to remove rust, paint, scale, and other contaminants from metal, concrete, wood, and more.

What is dustless blasting and how is it different?

Dustless blasting combines water with the abrasive media, which significantly reduces airborne dust. It's safer near people, vegetation, and water sources, and is ideal for residential areas, vehicles, and sensitive environments. The process is just as effective as traditional sandblasting.

How long does the job take?

Project time varies based on size and complexity. Small jobs like a car frame or fence section may take a few hours, while larger industrial or commercial jobs could take a full day or more. We'll give you a time estimate when you request a quote.

What surfaces can you blast?

Do I need to do anything to prepare?

For most projects, we'll advise you on any prep needed when we do the estimate. Generally, you'll want to clear the work area of items that could be damaged by overspray or debris. We handle the rest and clean up after the job.
