Tomas Czodor project in March 2023 30 years ago client painted block wall what was peeling beyond repair.  Wall was approximatley 50 ft long.  Since that he encountered the problem of paint peeling. During free estimate what I m providing to all my potential clients I suggest that would look much nicer to sandblast old blocks and paint only stucco columns between. After client hired me for work all bricks was sandblasted for condition as new and as they looked when wall was built. Stucco columns between was repaired with new stucco coat, prime and painted. On stucco was used exterior paint from Dunn Edwards.  www.gorgeouspainting.com #sandblasting
