Equipment, steel, and shop work around Benton, stripped dust-suppressed by a Bossier City based rig and priced from the published sheet. Call (318) 666-4671 or send the form below.
Benton’s work is close-quarters work. The parish seat’s commercial blocks need coatings stripped from time to time, and so do the subdivisions filling the Highway 3 corridor and the parish’s own facilities. Nearly all of it sits within feet of windows, cars, and people. In a setting like that the method is the whole decision, and water is the version of blasting that behaves around neighbors.
Bossier Sandblasting covers Benton minutes up Highway 3. A storefront awning or a run of railing gets stripped with the sidewalk still open, because the dust storm that would have closed it never forms. Builders bring us subdivision monuments and iron between phases. The parish’s own working steel gets the same treatment, priced off the same published sheet as everyone else.
Small-scope honesty matters in a town this size: plenty of Benton jobs are an afternoon, they price at the bottom of the hourly line, and batching two or three small jobs on one trip is often the difference between a minimum call-out and a bargain.
Old paint on old downtown steel
Old commercial steel in parish-seat downtowns often wears coatings from the lead-paint era, and stripping it wet does not repeal the rules: suspect coatings get tested first, and positives run with full containment and documented disposal. Wet suppression actually helps the lead workflow, less airborne dust to control, but the paperwork stays the same, and we do it.
The seat and the growth belt
The work comes from the Highway 3 corridor, the courthouse-square commercial blocks, subdivision entrances and hardscape, parish facilities around the seat, covering ZIP 71006. If your steel sits near those, the rig has probably already worked within sight of it.

Benton and parish questions
Can you strip a storefront awning without shutting the block down?
Yes, that is the wet advantage in one job: containment tarps under the work, water suppression killing the airborne dust, and the sidewalk open a few feet away. Business-hours work is realistic on most fronts, and early mornings cover the rest.
What do small jobs cost?
Hourly off the published sheet, $200 to $300 per hour with a two-hour minimum, which covers most railings, gates, and single-piece jobs in an afternoon. Batching neighbors or nearby jobs onto one trip splits the mobilization and everyone pays less.
Do you handle the parish and municipal paperwork?
Yes: certificates of insurance to the entity, containment and disposal documentation, and scheduling around public use. Municipal steel work is ordinary for us and the file we hand back is built for a public entity’s records.
What happens to the spent media and stripped paint?
It lands on containment, gets collected, and leaves with us for proper disposal, as ordinary waste when tests are clean and as documented regulated waste when old coatings test hot. Nothing washes into a storm drain, which in a courthouse town is both the law and the neighborly answer.
