What We Sandblast for Homeowners
Common Residential Sandblasting Projects
Swimming Pools
Strip old pool paint and prepare surfaces for new coating. We handle concrete pools, fiberglass repairs, and tile cleaning for residential pools across our service areas.
Metal Railings and Fixtures
Coastal salt air causes rust on metal railings, posts, and outdoor fixtures. We remove all corrosion and old paint so you can apply proper rust-proof coating. Essential for homes in waterfront and coastal communities.
Fences and Gates
Wood or metal fences collect years of old paint, stains, and weather damage. We strip everything down to bare material so you can restain or repaint properly. Works for privacy fences, picket fences, and metal gates.
Decks and Patios
Remove old deck stain, paint, or sealant that's peeling and flaking. Sandblasting gets into wood grain and removes buildup that sanding can't touch. Perfect prep before refinishing your deck.
Driveways and Concrete
Oil stains, tire marks, and years of grime make concrete look terrible. Sandblasting cleans driveways, walkways, and concrete patios without harsh chemicals.
Brick and Stone
Clean brick facades, stone walls, and masonry without damaging the surface. Removes paint, graffiti, efflorescence, and staining. Common for heritage homes and character properties.
Outdoor Furniture and Equipment
Restore metal patio furniture, barbecues, outdoor heaters, and garden equipment. Remove rust and old paint so items look new again.
Why Homeowners Choose Mobile Sandblasting
Benefits of Professional Residential Sandblasting
We Come to You
No renting trucks to haul your fence panels to or railings anywhere. We bring our equipment to your home in any Vancouver Island, Whistler or Lower Mainland community. You save time and money on transportation.
Faster Than DIY Methods
Hand sanding a fence takes days or weeks. Sandblasting takes hours. Chemical strippers are messy and don't work on heavy buildup. We finish residential projects quickly so you can get to the fun part of your project.
Better Surface Preparation
Paint and stain only stick properly to clean, prepared surfaces. Sandblasting removes everything down to bare material. Your new finish lasts longer because it bonds correctly. Critical for BC's wet climate.
No Harsh Chemicals
Chemical paint strippers smell terrible, damage plants, and leave residue. Sandblasting uses no chemicals. Better for your family, pets, and garden in environmentally sensitive areas.
Removes What Sanding Can't
Rust, deep stains, and thick paint layers don't come off with regular sanding. Sandblasting cuts through everything. Gets results on projects other methods can't handle.

Residential Sandblasting Questions
Our common residential sandblasting questions answered!
Will sandblasting damage my deck or fence?
No. We adjust pressure and media for each material. Wood surfaces are treated gently to remove coatings without gouging or splintering. Proper sandblasting prepares surfaces without damage.
How much mess does sandblasting make?
We contain the work area and clean up thoroughly. Some fine dust occurs but we minimize spread to other areas of your property. Your yard will be tidy when we're done.
Can you sandblast in winter?
Yes. We work year-round in most weather conditions. Vancouver Island's mild climate allows sandblasting in winter months, though we avoid heavy rain days. Best results come from dry days.
Do I need to be home during sandblasting?
Not necessary. Many homeowners in our service areas leave for work while we complete projects. We discuss access and property security during scheduling.
How soon can I paint or stain after sandblasting?
Usually within 24-48 hours once the surface is completely dry. We'll advise on timing based on weather and surface type. Quick turnaround for most residential projects.
Will sandblasting kill my grass or plants?
We protect landscaping with tarps and barriers. When done properly with containment, your plants and lawn remain undamaged. We take extra care around gardens.
