Q) How do I know what media is best for my surface?
Every surface is different and Surface Strip Solutions will work with you to determine which media is best to remove the unwanted surface. Removing surfaces from materials such as glass or wood require much different techniques than removing graffiti from brick.
Q) Are the media Surface Strip Solutions use safe for the environment?
All the techniques and media we use will not damage the original surface of your project and will not harm the environment. The materials we use are easily absorbed and do not release any harmful chemicals.
Q) What if I can't come to your location?
That’s okay! Our operation is mobile and our equipment can be taken to any location. We service the tri-state area and, if the contract is long term, can extend our service area outside of the Northeast region.
Q) How does soda blasting work?
Soda blasting is the use of baking soda through a machine (blast pot) that releases the baking soda at a low pressure but high volume. It is safe on most surfaces and is very effective for the removal of paint and various coatings.
Q) Can a coating be removed from more fragile surfaces?
Yes, there are multiple mediums that could be used, but Baking Soda would be the most gentle option. It is a softer media and will gently remove unwanted surfaces from whatever your project is. Baking Soda is not effective for removing rust.
Q) How quickly can a job be completed?
It depends mostly on the size of scope of your project but as an example, after a time and date is chosen, we can remove the paint from a regular sized car in about a six hours.
Q) Will my original surface look brand new or be damaged and discolored?
In most cases we are able to have the original surface look just like new. There will be no damage done to the original surface; the media we use are safe and effective.
Q) Can you help with damage caused by fire?
There are surfaces that when burnt can be stripped of soot, but would require an on-site inspection. Baking Soda is an effective medium when removing the smell of burnt wood is desired.
Q) Do you just do commercial work?
Surface Strip Solutions does both commercial and residential coating removal; no matter the size of the project, we can help! Our past jobs include homes, businesses (interiors and exteriors), factories, piping, automobiles and aircraft, industrial equipment, and a wide range of antiques.
