Remedies

 

Sandblasting can often solve these problems:

Concrete

  • Concrete finish didn’t turnout

  • Discolored or blotchy

  • Stain color not right

  • Sealer buildup

  • Uneven weathering – sandblasting can even-out and refresh the look

Slippery surfaces

Sometimes these surfaces can be too slippery for the location. A light sandblast with the right abrasive can create a slip resistant surface to solve the problem.

  • Natural stone pavement

  • Stairs

  • Stamped concrete on a slope

This concrete was too slippery for the slope it was placed on. We lightly sandblasted it to create a slip-resistant surface. Now, it can be left natural, stained, or sealed. The concrete has an integral color.

Restoration

Lead paint abatement:

We have the expertise to know when and how to utilize sandblasting to remove lead containing paint. There are many situations when sandblasting is a safe and is the most cost-effective way to remove lead paint. Working with local abatement/testing laboratories, we assess each project individually to determine whether or not sandblasting is the correct method for that project.
