I wish I could give zero stars. My experience with All About Pressure Cleaning, who subcontracts A & B Sandblasting was an absolute nightmare. If you value your property and your hard-earned money, do yourself a favor and stay far away from these companies.
Let's start with the sheer incompetence displayed by A & B Sandblasting in failing to protect my summer kitchen, cover pool deck drains or be cognizant of enormous amounts of sand left in my pool. We hired All About Pressure Cleaning to sandblast the deck due to the former sealant being too slippery. We asked to have the deck sandblasted, pressure washed and resealed with the appropriate sealant for wet areas. They completed the job, however, they did not take the adequate steps to protect the walls of our outdoor kitchen. The sandblasting removed chunks of paint and plaster in the area where the wall meets the pavers.
They also made no effort to cover the pool deck drains. The amount of sand in the drains is absolutely insane. The entire length of the drain was left clogged with wet sand that is taking weeks to get out.
The real kicker, though, was the mess they left in my pool. After the sandblasting, there was an unbelievable amount of sand left behind--an amount so excessive that it almost felt like they intentionally dumped it there. The pool looked like a beach. The sand so thick that a scrub brush could not even be used to push the sand. Our pool company was on deck to perform the system clean once the pavers were resealed. When they arrived, they said they have NEVER seen that much sand in a pool after a sandblasting job. The pool company had to come out everyday for a solid week to clean out all the sand. The amount of sand caused our pool pump to break. We had to replace the pool pump in the midst of all of this, which was another $1600.
Sandblasting took one day. The next day, when the pressure cleaners arrived, I asked them to address the amount of sand left in the pool deck drains. the two guys from All About Pressure Cleaning saif they "would see what they could do." Well, they did NOTHING. Now we'll need to hire someone to clean the drains as we have major puddles on the deck, even after a light rain.
We paid good money to have this service done, only to find ourselves in a worse situation than before they showed up. Both companies failed to deliver on basic, professional expectations. They were careless, and their lack of attention to detail was appalling. This wasn't just a minor mistake; this was an utter disregard for the quality of work and the property they were supposed to protect. If you want your home to be treated with the respect it deserves, do not hire either of these companies.
To make matters worse, I receive a request for a review from Rogelio, "the owner of A & B Sandblasting." When I responded, to him, his template response was basically "thank you for the insights which are invaluable to us as we strive to enhance our services." NEVER an offer to correct the issue.
Bottom Line: Save yourself the headache and the costly repairs. Look elsewhere for any type of pressure cleaning or sandblasting services. Trust me, you'll be better off. read more
