Brick and masonry sandblasting uses controlled abrasive blasting to remove paint, staining, efflorescence (salt deposits), graffiti, mold, algae, and surface weathering from brick, natural stone, CMU block, and other masonry surfaces. When done correctly — with the right media at the right pressure — it restores the original texture and colour of the masonry without damaging the brick face, spalling the surface, or undercutting the mortar joints.
At JCV Tow Hitch, our Jacksonville masonry blasting specialists understand that brick and stone are far more sensitive than metal or concrete. We always use lower-aggression media — typically fine garnet, crushed glass, or sodium bicarbonate — and calibrate pressure carefully to match the hardness and condition of your specific masonry. We test on an inconspicuous area first, every time. The result is a clean, restored masonry surface that looks as it was meant to — without the powdered, etched appearance caused by over-aggressive blasting.
No spalling, no mortar damage
Every project, no exceptions
OSHA & EPA compliant
Transparent pricing, no surprises
From painted brick home exteriors to historic commercial facades — our team has the media and technique to restore your masonry without substrate damage.
Painted brick exteriors are one of the most common masonry blasting requests in Jacksonville. Stripping old paint from brick by hand is extremely labour-intensive and nearly impossible to do completely. Media blasting removes paint evenly from the entire face of the brick — including all the texture and mortar joint detail that brushes and scrapers miss — restoring the natural brick appearance.
Painted or stained commercial brick and block facades can be completely transformed by media blasting. We work on commercial building exteriors of all scales — stripping old coatings, removing dirt accumulation, and cleaning efflorescence from facades to reveal clean, professional masonry that improves curb appeal and property value.
Graffiti on brick and stone is exceptionally difficult to remove with chemical cleaners alone — especially paint that has been in place for months or years. Abrasive blasting removes spray paint, marker, and other graffiti completely from masonry surfaces, including porous brick that has absorbed the paint, restoring the original masonry appearance.
Historic Jacksonville brick buildings, churches, and stone structures require the utmost care. We use soda blasting and very fine low-aggression media for heritage masonry work — removing grime and old paint without damaging soft, aged brick that has not been fired to modern hardness standards. Every historic masonry project is assessed individually
Exposed brick and natural stone retaining walls, garden walls, columns, and decorative masonry collect algae, mold, and weathering staining that detracts from a property's appearance. Media blasting cleans masonry garden structures thoroughly and consistently — without the streaking and residue that pressure washing leaves behind.
Chimneys accumulate staining, efflorescence, and failed mortar coatings that are difficult to clean by conventional means. Media blasting cleans the exterior masonry of chimneys — including the corbelling and crown detail that brushes can't access — and prepares the surface for repointing or waterproof coating application
Every project follows a consistent, proven process that protects your property and delivers a clean, professional result.
We assess brick type, hardness, age, and condition — as well as the coating or contamination to be removed. Heritage or soft brick requires a very different approach to modern fired brick. A written estimate is provided following assessment.
Windows, doors, adjacent surfaces, and landscaping are masked and protected before blasting begins. Mortar joints are assessed for condition — damaged or loose mortar is flagged before blasting starts, as blasting over deteriorated mortar can cause further damage.
We select media specifically appropriate for masonry — fine garnet, crushed glass, sodium bicarbonate, or corn cob — never steel grit or coal slag, which are far too aggressive for brick and stone. Pressure settings are matched to brick hardness and condition.
Before blasting any significant area, we always test on a small, inconspicuous section of your masonry. We assess the result for spalling, surface damage, and mortar joint condition before proceeding. This step is non-negotiable for all brick and masonry work.
Working methodically across the surface, we blast at consistent distance, angle, and speed — removing paint, staining, or contamination evenly without overworking any area. Mortar joints receive special attention to avoid undercutting.
All media, stripped paint, and debris are collected and disposed of responsibly. The restored masonry surface is inspected for consistent results across the entire area. We advise on any repointing or sealing recommended following the blast.
Results you can count on — and a team that treats your property with the same care they’d give their own.
Our technicians are trained in the low-aggression media selection and precise pressure calibration required for sensitive brick and stone surfaces. We don't apply a one-size-fits-all approach, ensuring your masonry is fully restored without any spalling or mortar damage.
We test on a small, inconspicuous area before blasting any significant surface. No surprises, no damage, no guessing.

When done by inexperienced operators using the wrong media or pressure, yes — brick sandblasting can cause permanent spalling and surface damage. JCV Tow Hitch avoids this by using low-aggression media specifically appropriate for masonry, calibrating pressure carefully, and always testing on a small area first. We have never permanently damaged a client’s masonry.
In most cases, yes. We can remove even decades-old paint from brick fully and evenly. Brick that was painted when new and has never been blasted typically restores extremely well. Very old, soft, or historically significant brick requires additional care and may have limitations — we will always be upfront about what is achievable for your specific masonry.
We blast the entire masonry surface including mortar joints — but at settings that preserve the mortar. We assess mortar condition before starting. Loose, deteriorating, or already-damaged mortar may need repointing before blasting to prevent further damage. We will identify any mortar concerns during our assessment.
Yes — graffiti removal from brick is one of our most common masonry applications. Media blasting removes spray paint and other graffiti even from porous brick that has absorbed the paint, restoring the original masonry appearance completely without chemical residues.
Cost depends on the total surface area, paint/staining condition, brick type, and project accessibility. JCV Tow Hitch provides free on-site written estimates with transparent, line-item pricing. Call (352) 651-0151 to schedule your assessment.
