You have to own the right equipment and know when to use it.
Pressure washing is pretty standard in every remedial project. But occasionally you're going to need to remove previous coatings or rust scale before you paint. For that, there's either sand blasting or the latest technology, vapor blasting.
The key to vapor blasting is the flow of a waterborne abrasive, giving a finer finish due to the flushing action of the water. No media is impregnated into the component, nor is there any dust created by the break-up of media, unlike dry blasting, where the finish is produced by sheer force of media impact.

Safety is Priority One
We have trained our employees in rigging buildings. We have them "stage certified" each year. We have rigged some pretty difficult structures over the years: round buildings, cantilevered buildings, bridges, free standing towers, 30+ story buildings, multi-level buildings, and on, and on, and on.
Our Operations Facilitator, Steve, is exceptionally good at rigging and sees some travel throughout the state as our lead Rigging Expert. But it's not just him. Chris, Cliff, and quite a few others among our foremen are well-experienced, certified riggers.
