Boat Hulls

No matter the type of boat, regular upkeep of the hull is essential. From cleaning to sanding and washing, it's important to address any issues that may arise, whether it be removing bottom paint, rust, or barnacles. Dustless Blasting is a faster and more convenient option than sanding by hand or with a power tool.

Ship Decks

Saltwater, UV rays, and general use damage boat decks over time. Dustless Blasting can help to remove existing coatings on a boat deck, leaving behind a clean, roughened surface that's ready for a new finish.

Docks and Piers

When docks and piers are too long neglected, their appearance, functionality, and safety suffers. Dustless Blasting can be used with non-toxic abrasive media to resurface docks and piers, so that they can be refinished.

PRO TIP - WATCH OUT FOR THIS

OUTSIDE CONTRACTOR FEE

It's common practice for marinas to charge a fee for conducting business on their property, so be prepared for this expense. They'll likely also request a copy of your insurance declaration.

"Most marinas charge all outside contractors. It encourages people to use the boat yards services."

- Jason S. Business Owner

It's typically a 10-20% percentage of the total job cost. If transporting the boat off site isn't in the cards, it can be worth it to pay this fee - just factor it in to your total cost ahead of time.

"I have paid this fee. To me it was well worth it. The employees of the Marina are in charge of CLEAN-UP. I happily give a small percentage for that."

-Joe O. Dustless Blaster
