From structural wood to industrial steel — we select the right abrasive media and technique for every surface to deliver superior, lasting results with zero guesswork.
Strip paint, stain, and varnish from wood ceilings, tongue-and-groove panels, exposed beams, log cabin siding, barn wood, and furniture. Our precision blasting technique exposes the natural wood grain without over-cutting the fiber — ideal for mezzanine, bow truss, A-frame, cathedral, scissor truss, and vaulted ceilings. Removes smoke and fire damage from wood. Restores original texture for re-staining or sealing.
Paint on concrete penetrates deep into the porous surface — standard sanding and scraping cannot reach it. Our sandblasting process reaches into those pores for 98%+ paint removal effectiveness on driveways, sidewalks, walls, floors, and parking structures. Eliminates dangerously slippery painted walkways, removes graffiti, and strips aging peeling coatings that cause new paint layers to fail prematurely.
Our environmentally responsible blasting option uses walnut shell media and garnet mineral abrasives — gentler on delicate surfaces while dramatically reducing the environmental footprint of traditional silica sand blasting. Ideal for indoor projects, historically significant structures, food-adjacent facilities, or any application where air quality and chemical safety are priority concerns. Available by request (additional media fees apply).
Rust removal, corrosion prevention, and precision surface profiling for antique vehicles, trailers, boats, agricultural equipment, industrial machinery, and structural steel. Properly profiled metal creates 5 to 10 times more surface area for paint adhesion — extending your coating's effective lifespan to 15–30 years versus 5–10 years on unblasted metal. All new bridges, water towers, and industrial steel are profile-blasted before final coating for this exact reason.
Restore the original beauty of painted or stained brick, natural stone, block, and masonry surfaces. Whether it is a residential fireplace, a commercial building facade, or a historic masonry wall, our process safely removes decades of built-up paint and surface coatings without damaging the underlying mortar or masonry substrate. Results in a clean, natural surface ready for sealing or left in its original exposed state.
After blasting, surfaces are perfectly profiled and primed for a long-lasting protective coat. We offer professional post-blast painting and protective coating application for metal, wood, concrete, and masonry — completing the full surface restoration cycle from surface preparation to final finish in a single, professionally managed engagement. No need to coordinate between separate contractors.
No mystery pricing, no surprises. Here’s exactly what happens from your first call to your finished surface.
Call our surface preparation contractor team and walk us through your project. We'll ask about the material, its condition, and your goals, and give you an honest read on what blasting can and can't do.
We bring the mobile rig to your location and run a visible test section so you can see the real result on your actual surface before committing to the full project.
Once you approve the approach, our crew completes the full surface preparation — then hauls away the blasting debris so your site is left clean and ready for the next step, whether that's coating, sealing or simply admiring the finish.
A larger rig, fairer pricing, and more honesty than anyone else offering sandblasting services in the region.
Our fully self-contained towable rig blasts faster than smaller competitor equipment, so jobs finish quicker and cost less.
