Sandblasting for Concrete, Brick, and Masonry
Some concrete and masonry problems go deeper than surface dirt. Pressure washing can work well for routine cleaning, but it may not remove thick paint, stubborn graffiti, old epoxy, or stains that have soaked into the surface.
Sandblasting uses abrasive media to strip away unwanted material and expose a cleaner surface underneath. It is a strong option when you need to remove multiple layers of paint, deep stains, or heavy buildup.
Ultra Blast & Strip provides on-site service for projects that are difficult or impractical to move. Our mobile setup is a good fit for work areas where we can bring a trailer within about 100 feet of the blasting location.

What We Remove from Concrete & Masonry
Paint and Old Coatings
Sandblasting can remove old paint and stubborn coatings from concrete, brick, block, and masonry. This is useful when a surface has several layers of paint or a coating that is difficult to remove by hand.
Graffiti
We remove graffiti from concrete, brick, masonry, and metal surfaces. Blasting removes the unwanted paint or coating and exposes the material underneath. The final appearance depends on the age of the graffiti and the condition of the original surface.
Stains, Grime, and Surface Buildup
Sandblasting can help remove grime, dirt, stains, and other buildup from concrete and masonry. It is especially useful for surfaces with severe staining that water and standard cleaning methods cannot fully reach.
Old Epoxy and Thick Coatings
Old epoxy coatings and thick paint can be difficult to remove with pressure washing or chemical products. Sandblasting is often a more complete way to strip these materials from a concrete surface.
What Results Can You Expect?
Concrete and masonry sandblasting usually leaves a clean, matte finish with more of the original surface texture exposed. On concrete, the top layer may appear more open or textured after blasting. On brick and masonry, the final look can vary based on the age, hardness, condition, and existing coating on the surface.
Before full blasting begins, Ultra Blast & Strip performs a test blast in a small, less noticeable area. This helps confirm the abrasive, settings, and expected result.
Sandblasting removes unwanted material, but it does not include painting, sealing, patching, resurfacing, or coating application after the work is complete.
Our Concrete & Masonry Blasting Process
01
Send photos of your project
Start by sending photos and a brief description of the surface. Include the location, approximate size, type of material, and what you want removed.
03
Prepare the work area
Before we arrive, remove items you do not want covered in dust and close nearby windows.
05
Complete a test blast
We test a small area before completing the full project. This helps make sure the blasting approach produces an acceptable result.
07
Clean up
After blasting, we clean up the area by blowing excess dust and abrasive material away from the work area and into safe areas.
02
Receive a free estimate
We review the project and provide an estimate based on the size of the area, surface condition, access, travel distance, and blasting needs.
04
Protect nearby surfaces
We cover adjacent surfaces as needed to reduce the risk of ricochet damage.

Concrete & Masonry Sandblasting FAQs
Can sandblasting remove paint from concrete?
Yes. Sandblasting can remove old paint, multiple paint layers, and stubborn coatings from concrete surfaces. It is often a better option than pressure washing when the paint is thick, aged, or bonded tightly to the surface.
Can you remove graffiti from brick or concrete?
Yes. Ultra Blast & Strip removes graffiti from concrete, brick, block, and other masonry surfaces. Blasting removes the graffiti and exposes the original surface underneath.
Is sandblasting better than pressure washing for concrete?
Sandblasting is often better for severe surface problems, including thick paint, old epoxy, deep stains, and graffiti. Pressure washing is useful for lighter dirt and routine cleaning, while sandblasting is better suited to removing stubborn coatings and buildup.
Will sandblasting damage my concrete or brick?
Sandblasting affects the outer layer of concrete, brick, and masonry, which is why the right abrasive and pressure matter. We complete a test blast before proceeding with the full project. The surface is typically left clean and matte, with more of its natural texture exposed.
Do you offer mobile concrete blasting?
Yes. We bring our truck, trailer, blast pot, and air compressor directly to your property or job site. Mobile blasting is ideal for concrete walls, floors, sidewalks, masonry buildings, and other surfaces that cannot be brought to a drop-off location.
What should I do before mobile blasting begins?
Remove items you do not want covered in dust, clear access to the blasting area, and close nearby windows. Our trailer needs to be able to get within about 100 feet of the work area whenever possible.
How much does concrete sandblasting cost?
The cost depends on the size of the surface, the type and amount of material being removed, access to the job site, and travel distance. Ultra Blast & Strip provides free estimates. Send photos and a short project description for accurate pricing.
