What people ask before they call.
Will it damage the stone?
No. Soot comes off at far less power than it takes to mark stone, and we set the power on a small area first.
What does it cost?
It depends on the material, the dirt and how we reach it. You get a price in writing before any work starts.
Do you visit first?
Clear photos are usually enough for a proposal. For larger jobs we come and look before we give a price.
How long does it take?
Most entrances and carved details take a day or two. Larger jobs come with a schedule in the proposal.
What about landmarks?
They need approval. New York bans sandblasting on its landmarks and reviews laser cleaning case by case.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry $5 million in coverage and can provide a certificate of insurance whenever your building asks.
