Why This Matters in San Antonio
San Antonio's very hard, mineral-rich water from the Edwards Aquifer leaves white calcium scale on pool tile, fixtures and metal — pool tile calcium removal is a common job here. Painted brick on older homes near downtown, in Monte Vista, King William and Tobin Hill, often has decades of old paint that needs gentle removal. Restaurants and storefronts downtown and along the River Walk have patios and metal that take wear and the occasional graffiti. The newer master-planned communities on the north and west sides have pools, driveways and patio sets that need cleaning. And the Hill Country and weekend properties outside the city have log and timber homes that need media blasting to strip old stain before re-staining.
Care & Prevention
After brick paint removal, consider sealing the brick to stop moisture and grime soaking back in. Keep pool tile clean with a mild acid wash to slow calcium buildup from the hard water. For log homes, re-stain soon after blasting to protect the bare wood from sun and moisture.
Brick Paint Removal & Brick Paint Stripping
We strip paint from brick and brick facades using gentle media and the right pressure so the brick underneath stays intact. Brick is softer than it looks, and we never blast it the way we'd blast steel. We assess the brick first and choose the method after seeing it.
Graffiti Removal
We remove graffiti from walls and surfaces on-site — only with the property owner's permission. We never offer to remove murals. The right media and pressure strip the graffiti while protecting the surface underneath.
Pool Sandblasting & Pool Tile Calcium Removal
We sandblast pool surfaces before resurfacing and remove calcium scale from pool tile — tied directly to San Antonio's hard water from the Edwards Aquifer, which leaves white scale on tile and fixtures. For pool work, the water level usually needs to be lowered below the tile line, and we'll tell you exactly what's needed when we quote.
What's Needed On-Site
For mobile and on-site blasting, we need access to the work area, a water source where needed, a drained or partially drained pool for pool work, and any HOA, building or historic-district permission that applies. We'll walk through all of this with you before we schedule.
Media Blasting
Choosing the right blasting media is the key to a good result. Here's a quick guide:
| Media | Best For | Finish |
|---|---|---|
| Soda | Paint & grime on delicate surfaces | Clean, gentle |
| Glass bead | Aluminum, engine parts, metal | Smooth, satin |
| Plastic media | Soft metals, composites | Clean, no pitting |
| Corn cob | Wood, log homes, delicate surfaces | Soft, no gouging |
| Walnut shell | Wood, log homes, delicate surfaces | Soft, clean |
Corn Cob Blasting & Walnut Shell Blasting
Corn cob and walnut shell are soft organic media used on wood, log homes and delicate surfaces. They strip old stain, graying and mildew without gouging the wood grain, leaving a clean surface ready for re-staining. They're the go-to for log home restoration.
Log Home Restoration & Log Cabin Blasting
For customers with log or timber homes and cabins — including Hill Country and weekend properties outside the city — we blast away old stain, graying and mildew with corn cob or walnut shell media, leaving the logs clean and ready for re-staining. We bring the mobile rig to your log home or cabin, and we work carefully so the wood comes clean without damage.
A note on lead paint: Paint on homes, brick or metal from before 1978 may contain lead — common in older neighborhoods such as Monte Vista, King William and Tobin Hill. Older painted surfaces may need to be tested for lead and handled under the rules that apply. We never blast lead paint without the right precautions.

Dustless, Soda & Media Blasting FAQ
QIs dustless blasting really dust-free?
No — dustless blasting greatly reduces airborne dust, but it's not completely dust-free. Mixing water with the abrasive weighs the dust down so most of it falls to the ground instead of floating in the air. That's what makes it suited to homes, dense neighborhoods, storefronts and occupied sites where dry blasting would send a cloud everywhere. It cuts the dust dramatically, but we won't claim it eliminates it entirely.
QCan you remove paint from brick without damaging it?
Yes, with the right media and pressure. Brick is softer than it looks, so we use a gentler abrasive and lower pressure than we would on steel. Dustless blasting with the right media strips paint from brick while protecting the surface underneath. We assess the brick first and choose the method after seeing it.
QDo you need to drain the pool for tile calcium removal?
For pool tile calcium removal, the water level usually needs to be lowered below the tile line so we can blast the tile clean. We'll tell you exactly what's needed when we quote the job — including access, a water source where needed, and any HOA or building permission.
QWhat is the best blasting media for paint removal?
It depends on the surface. Soda blasting is gentle and good for paint and grime on delicate surfaces. Glass bead gives a smooth, satin finish on metal. For stubborn paint on hard metal, a harder abrasive works. For wood and log homes, corn cob or walnut shell is gentle enough not to damage the grain. We choose the media after seeing the job.
QCan corn cob blasting be used on log homes?
Yes — corn cob and walnut shell blasting are soft organic media that are ideal for log homes and cabins. They strip old stain, graying and mildew without gouging the wood, leaving a clean surface ready for re-staining. We bring the mobile rig to your log home or cabin anywhere in San Antonio and the surrounding Hill Country.
