Question 1

Who does mobile sandblasting in Calgary?

Accepted Answer

Calgary Sandblasting is a mobile sandblasting company serving Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, Chestermere, and Strathmore. We bring a 185 CFM compressor and full blast rig to your site — trailers, equipment, fencing, and structures never have to leave your property.

Question 2

How much does sandblasting cost in Calgary?

Accepted Answer

Calgary Sandblasting prices most rust and paint removal jobs between $150 and $250 per hour, or as a flat rate once the scope is confirmed. Trailer and equipment jobs typically run $800-$3,000 per unit, and fence or deck restoration runs $3.00-$7.00 per square foot. These are typical ranges — every job gets a firm quote before work starts. See the full pricing breakdown on our pricing page.

Question 3

How do you protect my property while sandblasting?

Accepted Answer

Calgary Sandblasting contains the work area and protects surrounding equipment, vehicles, siding, and landscaping before blasting starts. Media and dust are controlled at the source, not just cleaned up after the fact — so what's next to the job stays untouched.

Question 4

Do you clean up after the job?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Calgary Sandblasting hauls away the spent media and blasting debris before leaving the site — you're not left with a pile of grit and old paint chips in your yard.

Question 5

What media do you use for sandblasting?

Accepted Answer

Calgary Sandblasting matches the abrasive media to your surface — coarser media for heavy rust and steel, gentler media for wood decks, fences, and thin panels — so the job gets done without warping metal or gouging wood. Media type is confirmed as part of your quote.

Question 6

What is a cheap alternative to sandblasting?

Accepted Answer

Wire wheels, chemical paint/rust strippers, and pressure washing are all cheaper for small spot jobs — a single rusty bolt or a small patch of peeling paint. Past that, they take far more labor hours and rarely get an even result, so sandblasting usually costs less overall once you count the time, and Calgary Sandblasting gets it done in a single visit.

Question 7

What are the disadvantages of sandblasting?

Accepted Answer

Sandblasting can warp thin metal or gouge soft wood if the media and pressure aren't matched to the surface, it produces dust and spent media that need containment and cleanup, and it's a dry-weather job that can't run in rain or extreme cold. Calgary Sandblasting manages all three on every job — matching media to your surface, containing the work area, and hauling away debris before we leave.

Question 8

Do I need to be present for a sandblasting job?

Accepted Answer

No. Calgary Sandblasting just needs access to the work area. Most clients do a quick walkthrough with us before we start to confirm scope, then another at the end to review the finished surface — you don't need to be on-site the whole time in between.

Question 9

What surfaces can be sandblasted?

Accepted Answer

Calgary Sandblasting works on steel, aluminum, iron, and most painted or rusted metal surfaces, as well as wood decks and fences. We match media and pressure to the substrate — trailers, equipment, fencing, gates, railings, and structural steel are all common jobs.
