My interest in Sandblasting got sparked when I was working as a body man at Northwest Auto Body. They were sending out projects to be sandblasted. So I looked into a mobile sandblasting system and decided to purchase one. I started doing it part time, splitting my time between auto body and sandblasting. Within a year, it turned into a full time job; in March 2015, I got my business license and had to step away from auto body.
Our customers are usually very surprised at how versatile sandblasting can be, between the different types we can handle. Sandblasting can be done on very small things or very large things. There’s always something different. We look forward to your project and seeing the look on your face once your products surface has been restored.
Also many don’t know that the material we use is “green.” Because the EPA has been cracking down on the use of silica sand, we use material such as ground walnut shells and crushed bottle glass to help sustain our environment responsibly.
“The revitalization of many downtown areas includes a face lift for storefronts and older buildings’ facades and interiors. The current trend exposes the original patina of timber and removes layers of paint, concrete and weather damage from the surface of bricks and mortar. Revealing these features via sandblasting is an arduous job involving heavy lifting and attention to detail. Chris Wallschlaeger, owner of New Era Dustless Blasting. “Our clients want to see the old exposed wood and concrete. I’ve seen some of the timbers where you could see old saw blade marks the size of your hand. We have blasted log homes that were pretty crusty but came out gorgeous,” he said. “Our focus is on architectural blasting, but we do also blast things like bike frames, fountains and car bodies.”
