Commercial Sandblasting
in Austin, TX
Ace Sandblasting has provided industry-leading Sandblasting Services across Austin, TX and throughout Central Texas since 1972.
Ace Sandblasting has provided professional Commercial Sandblasting in Austin, TX since 1972. If your project involves concrete, structural steel, brick, tilt-up panels, metal framing, or storage tanks, you need a crew that understands industrial-grade surface preparation. Not every sandblasting company does. We do.
Commercial surface prep is a different animal than residential work. The surfaces are larger, the tolerances are tighter, the schedules are less forgiving, and the coating systems that follow are far pricier. Getting the prep wrong costs everyone on the project. Getting it right moves everything forward.

Concrete Sandblasting Near Me
Concrete is one of the most common surfaces on any commercial job site, and it's one of the most demanding to prepare correctly. The profile left by surface preparation directly affects how well a coating, overlay, or sealant performs and how long it lasts.
For contractors seeking concrete sandblasting near me in Central Texas, Ace Sandblasting provides precision concrete surface prep for floors, walls, structural panels, and flatwork. We achieve the International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI) profile required by your coating system every time.
Concrete Floor Sandblasting
Concrete floor sandblasting is a critical step before applying epoxy coatings, urethane systems, moisture barriers, or decorative overlays. Concrete that hasn't been properly abraded will reject coatings quickly, regardless of how good the product is. This is usually where people run into problems: they invest in a premium coating system and skip or rush the prep. The floor fails in months instead of lasting years.
We prep warehouse floors, retail slabs, parking decks, manufacturing facilities, and more.
Parking Lot Sandblasting
Surface markings, sealers, coatings, and contamination on asphalt and concrete parking surfaces require targeted abrasive blasting to remove cleanly. Parking lot sandblasting is used ahead of resealing, restriping, or coating applications, and it's far more thorough than chemical stripping or grinding alone.
We work around operational schedules so your facility stays functional during the project.
PIP Concrete Sandblasting
Poured-in-place concrete often requires surface profile work after formwork removal, especially on exposed aggregate or architectural concrete finishes. PIP concrete sandblasting opens the surface texture, removes form release agents, and prepares the substrate for protective or decorative coatings.
Tilt-Up Concrete Sandblasting
Tilt-up construction is widespread across the Austin commercial and industrial market. The exposed surfaces of tilt-up panels require precise surface preparation both during construction and throughout the building's lifespan.
Tilt-Up Concrete Light Sandblast Finish
A
tilt-up concrete light sandblast finish opens the surface slightly and removes laitance without heavily exposing aggregate. This finish is used when a smooth, refined appearance is required while still achieving a proper profile for coating adhesion.
Tilt-Up Concrete Heavy Sandblast Finish
A tilt-up concrete heavy sandblast finish exposes more aggregate and creates a deeper surface profile. It's specified for projects requiring a strong mechanical bond for thick coatings, elastomeric finishes, or textured architectural treatments.
Tilt-up concrete sandblasting requires calibrated media and pressure to achieve a uniform result across large panel surfaces without over-blasting edges or corners. Our crews are experienced specifically with tilt-up geometry and the spec requirements that come with it.
Building Sandblasting Near Me
Building sandblasting near me covers the exterior and structural surfaces of commercial buildings at any stage of their life cycle. New construction, renovation, tenant improvement, and historic restoration all require different approaches, and we've handled all of them.
Sandblasting for Building Renovation
Older commercial buildings accumulate layers of paint, sealant, weathering, and biological growth that can't be addressed effectively with surface-level cleaning. Sandblasting for building renovation strips the building envelope back to a clean, prepared substrate and gives the new coating system the best possible foundation.
Most jobs fall apart because of timing, not the work itself. Scheduling surface prep before painters mobilize, not after, is the difference between a project that finishes on time and one that stalls.
Commercial Brick Sandblasting
Brick facades on commercial buildings face constant exposure to pollution, moisture, sealant buildup, graffiti, and paint applications that accumulate over years and decades. Commercial brick sandblasting removes surface buildup from brick and mortar without damaging the masonry substrate.
Brick requires a measured approach. Pressure and media selection must account for mortar condition, brick porosity, and the age of the structure. Older commercial buildings with softer brick demand lower pressures and finer media than modern hard-fired masonry. We assess before we blast.
Structural Steel Sandblasting
Steel surfaces on commercial and industrial structures require a certified level of cleanliness before protective coatings are applied. SSPC and NACE standards define those cleanliness levels, and they exist for a reason. Coating failure on structural steel is a long-term liability.
Structural steel sandblasting at Ace covers everything from structural members and connections to exposed steel facades and architectural steel elements. We achieve the blast profile specified by the coating manufacturer and the project engineer, whether that's SSPC-SP6 Commercial Blast, SSPC-SP10 Near White Metal, or SSPC-SP5 White Metal.
Metal Framing Sandblasting
Pre-fabricated metal framing components, steel stud systems, and secondary structural members often require surface prep before priming, especially when coatings need to meet corrosion resistance specs. Metal framing sandblasting removes mill scale, rust, and surface contamination so coatings bond properly and hold up under long-term exposure.
This is a step that often gets cut in the field. It shouldn't be. Mill scale is an adhesion barrier, and coatings applied over it will delaminate faster than anything else on the job.
Steel Tank Sandblasting
Storage tanks present some of the most demanding sandblasting work in the commercial and industrial sector. Interior and exterior surfaces must be blasted to a specified cleanliness level before lining or coating systems are applied, and those coatings are often the only barrier between the tank material and whatever it's storing.
Steel tank sandblasting at Ace is performed to the required SSPC or NACE standard for your specific coating system. We work on above-ground storage tanks, process vessels, water tanks, and industrial containment structures. Our crews are equipped and trained for confined space and elevated surface work.
24-Hour Commercial Sandblasting
Commercial construction schedules don't run nine to five. Deadlines compress, weather creates narrow prep windows, and sometimes a project simply needs surface work done overnight or on a weekend to keep the schedule intact.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What types of commercial surfaces does Ace Sandblasting work on?
We work on concrete floors, tilt-up panels, structural steel, metal framing, brick facades, parking surfaces, storage tanks, and building exteriors. If a commercial surface needs abrasive blasting preparation, we handle it.
2. What blast standards do you work to on steel and metal surfaces?
We work to SSPC and NACE standards, including SSPC-SP5 White Metal, SSPC-SP10 Near-White Metal, SSPC-SP6 Commercial Blast, and SSPC-SP7 Brush-Off Blast. The required standard is determined by your coating system and project specification.
3. What is the difference between tilt-up concrete light and heavy sandblasted finishes?
A tilt-up concrete light sandblast finish opens the surface slightly without heavily exposing aggregate, producing a refined profile suitable for standard coatings. A tilt-up concrete heavy sandblast finish exposes more aggregate and creates a deeper mechanical bond profile used for heavy coatings and elastomeric systems. Both are part of our tilt-up concrete sandblasting scope.
4. Can you work around an occupied building or active job site?
Yes. We coordinate directly with site supervisors and project managers to schedule around occupied areas, active trades, and operational requirements. Our 24 hour commercial sandblasting availability gives us flexibility to work off-hours when needed.
5. Do you provide free estimates for commercial projects?
Yes. Contact us at (512) 712-8229 for Austin projects or (210) 212-5711 for San Antonio. We assess surface area, material type, required blast profile, and access conditions before providing a detailed estimate at no charge.
6. How does concrete floor sandblasting differ from grinding?
Sandblasting creates a more uniform surface profile across large floor areas and is better suited for certain coating systems. Grinding can leave swirl marks and uneven profiles. For concrete floor sandblasting ahead of epoxy or urethane coatings, blasting often produces a more consistent bond surface, particularly on tight-tolerance systems.
7. Do you handle graffiti removal on commercial brick and concrete?
Yes. Abrasive blasting is one of the most thorough methods for graffiti removal on masonry and concrete surfaces. It removes paint penetration from porous materials without the ghosting that chemical removers commonly leave behind.
8. Do you service commercial clients outside of Austin?
Yes. Ace Sandblasting operates in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, and Corpus Christi. For San Antonio commercial projects, call (210) 212-5711. For all other locations, contact us at (512) 712-8229 or visit acesandblasting.co.
