Advanced Surface Cleaning Technology

Removal
Safe, effective removal of paint, coatings, and graffiti from historic and commercial surfaces - without etching, eroding, or damaging the substrate beneath.
Why Advanced Cleaning Technology Matters
The Wrong Method Can Cause Permanent Damage
High-pressure sandblasting or chemical stripping can permanently damage masonry, etch glass, and harm the environment.
Interstate Contracting and Restoration uses advanced, environmentally safe physical surface cleaning technologies that protect both the building and the surrounding environment.
Patented Slurry Blasting Technology
Eco-Friendly Slurry Blasting
The Farrow System uses recycled glass media, water, and heat to achieve maximum cleaning performance at minimum pressure.
Environmentally Safe
Uses clean, recycled glass media and significantly less water than traditional water blasting.
Non-Destructive
Removes heavy coatings, paint, oxidation, smoke damage, and graffiti without damaging the substrate.
Heat-Assisted
Heat improves cleaning results at pressures far below conventional blasting, avoiding etching and scarring.
Designed for Historic Preservation
Micro-Abrasive Precision
The Quintek Vortex system projects a swirling vortex of micro-fine particles to lift away buildup without compromising surface character.
Precision Control
Adjustable cleaning for delicate terra cotta details, stone ornament, and large brick facades.
Heritage-Safe
Removes carbon soiling, gypsum crusts, microorganisms, and paints while preserving original character.
Vortex Action
The swirling motion reaches complex profiles and ornamental details that flat-blast nozzles cannot.
