Sandblasting is not approved for Abbotsford's heritage zones (Historic Downtown) — best reserved for industrial concrete, structural steel, and multi-layer overpainting where pressure washing fails. Our crews use softer media (walnut shell, baking soda) for visible architectural surfaces in Abbotsford to avoid permanent texture loss, and capture all spent media on tarped containment.

Abbotsford receives 1538mm of annual rainfall, which causes spray paint to penetrate porous surfaces like concrete, metal, wood rapidly — making prompt removal essential before paint bonds permanently.
