Specialized Historical Restoration Services Across Oregon
Historic buildings require a different approach than modern construction. Many older structures were built with materials and methods that demand precision, patience, and experience. At Anderson Sandblasting LLC, we focus on restoring these structures while respecting their original craftsmanship and materials.
Our restoration services are designed for property owners, preservation groups, contractors, and municipalities seeking careful surface cleaning that maintains the historical value of the building. Every project is approached with an understanding that preservation is just as important as performance.
Why Historic Structures Require a Careful Approach
Aggressive cleaning methods can permanently damage older materials. Historic brick, antique wood, early steel, and aged concrete often cannot withstand standard blasting pressures or abrasive methods. Our media blasting process allows for controlled removal of coatings, buildup, and contaminants while preserving surface detail.
Common challenges with historic restoration include:
Fragile or weathered materials
Multiple layers of old paint or coatings
Embedded grease, soot, and debris
Uneven or textured surfaces
By adjusting blasting media and air pressure (PSI), we protect the structure while achieving effective results.
Media Blasting Techniques for Historical Restoration
Anderson Sandblasting LLC uses modern media blasting instead of traditional sand. This approach provides flexibility and precision that historic restoration demands.
Media blasting benefits for historic structures include:
- Controlled surface cleaning
- Reduced risk of material erosion
- Improved preservation of original texture
- Safer alternatives to silica-based sand
Each project is evaluated individually to determine the most appropriate blasting method and media type.
