Expert Sandblasting Services in Columbus for Commercial & Industrial Projects
Our Sandblasting Services
—DUSTLESS SANDBLASTING (for Clean & Efficient Results)
We specialize in dustless sandblasting, a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional sandblasting. By using a Graco Eco Blaster, we significantly reduce airborne dust—92% less than dry blasting—while maintaining powerful results. The water used in dustless sandblasting helps capture debris, making cleanup quick and easy, while minimizing the impact on the environment.
Key benefits:
- 92% less airborne dust
- Easy containment and cleanup
- Eco-friendly and safe for the environment
- Ideal for sensitive areas with strict regulations
—SODA BLASTING (for Delicate Surface Restoration)
Our soda blasting technique uses sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) to gently remove contaminants from surfaces. This non-toxic, water-soluble abrasive is perfect for delicate surfaces that require a gentle touch, such as historical buildings, pipelines, and machinery. Soda blasting is effective for cleaning without causing damage, making it ideal for projects that require precision.
—ABRASIVE BLASTING (for Heavy-Duty Cleaning)
We also offer traditional abrasive blasting, including sand and shot blasting, to tackle the toughest cleaning jobs. Whether you’re removing rust from steel, cleaning concrete surfaces, or preparing a structure for coatings, our abrasive blasting services ensure the job is done efficiently and thoroughly.

Sandblasting FAQs
What factors affect the cost of a sandblasting project?
Project costs are influenced by the type of surface, level of contamination, complexity of the work area, the abrasive media used, and whether mobile equipment or special containment is needed. Remote or high-access locations also add cost.
How can I get a precise estimate for my specific job?
The best way is to schedule an on-site assessment. We’ll evaluate your surfaces, discuss your goals, and provide a detailed, custom quote based on the method, abrasive, and timeline needed.
What surfaces or materials can be sandblasted?
Sandblasting is ideal for cleaning and prepping metal, brick, stone, concrete, and even some woods. It’s used to remove rust, corrosion, paint, coatings, and graffiti. Fragile materials like glass or thin metals require alternative methods like soda or bead blasting.
Can sandblasting damage certain materials?
Yes. Improper technique or abrasive choice can damage surfaces, especially softer ones like wood, aluminum, or glass. That’s why we assess each job carefully and match the abrasive and method to the material.
Are there surfaces that should never be sandblasted?
Yes. Thin aluminum, glass, plastic, and soft woods can be damaged by traditional sandblasting. For these, we use soda, bead, or vapor blasting, or recommend alternative surface prep methods. We also offer power washing.
Does dustless blasting really eliminate all dust?
No method is 100% dust-free, but dustless blasting significantly reduces airborne particles, making cleanup easier and improving safety, especially for indoor or urban jobs.
What are the advantages of wet blasting over dry blasting?
Wet blasting reduces airborne dust, minimizes heat buildup, and is more eco-friendly. It’s ideal for areas where dust containment is critical or where sensitive equipment is nearby.
Can sandblasting restore historical structures without damage?
Yes, with care. We use low-pressure techniques and gentle abrasives like glass bead or baking soda to clean surfaces while preserving their architectural integrity.
Are there stains or coatings that sandblasting can’t remove?
Some ultra-durable coatings, epoxy layers, or embedded stains may require additional passes, special abrasives, or chemical stripping alongside blasting.
Is commercial sandblasting safe for workers and the environment?
Yes, when done professionally. We follow OSHA and EPA regulations, use personal protective equipment, and contain dust and debris to protect both workers and the surrounding area.
How is dust and debris controlled to protect the environment?
We use containment systems, tarps, wet methods, and HEPA-filtered vacuums where needed. Our goal is always to minimize release into surrounding air, soil, or water systems.
What’s the difference between sandblasting and other methods like soda blasting?
Sandblasting uses harder abrasives for aggressive cleaning. Soda blasting uses baking soda for gentle cleaning without surface damage, deal for historical restorations or delicate metals.
