In order to provide you with a realistic estimate, we need to understand the nature and scope of the project. This will allow us to evaluate such things as type of project, material to be blasted, access, location, obstruction that have to be dealt with or worked around, and any other special issues relating to the work. Seeing the surface to be blasted is an essential part in our preparation process. We need to be able to identify the condition of the item, the materials involved, and also what coatings or paints are on the equipment. For example, some boat hulls have just paint and others have a paint with a filler, vehicle blasting rust amount or special decals or accessories.
