Z-Beam pricing scales with project size and contamination severity—light (e.g., dust) to heavy (e.g., thick coatings)—including travel and setup. Minimum service call: $150 (up to 10 miles, 1 hour), plus $1/mile thereafter. Difficulty (1 = Easy, 5 = Hard) reflects effort and precision. Contact us for custom quotes.
Understanding Your Costs
- How It Works: Costs begin low for small areas with light dust and rise for larger jobs or heavy coatings. Difficulty ranges from 1 (easy) to 5 (hard), reflecting the effort needed—we tailor every quote to your project. Contact us for a custom estimate!
- Travel and Setup: Bringing our mobile laser cleaning to your site is part of the deal. Distance and setup time can nudge costs up, especially for remote locations or complex prep—like scaffolding for high structures—but we aim to keep it efficient and included in your quote.
- What Drives Your Costs: Your bill depends on the material, contamination level, and job size—local labor and fuel expenses shape the final tally.
- Light Metals (Aluminum, Magnesium): Dust clears fast—lasers zip through with ease, leaving a polished finish. Thick paint slows us down, and without careful adjustments, pitting or uneven surfaces might show, adding effort to get it right.
- Standard Metals (Brass, Copper): Oxides resist steadily—lasers tackle them consistently, but heavy layers can leave stubborn spots if not fully removed, requiring extra passes for a clean result.
- Ferrous Metals (Cast Iron, Carbon Steel, Galvanized Steel, Stainless Steel, Tool Steel): Rust starts manageable—lasers cut through decently—but thick coatings cling tight. Deep rust might extend time or leave faint traces if it’s eaten into the surface, pushing the challenge higher.
- Heavy Alloys (Cobalt Chromium, Molybdenum, Lead, Nickel Alloy, Titanium): Light dust lifts off smoothly—lasers handle it well—but heavy buildup resists hard. Without precise control, faint marks could appear, making it tougher to perfect.
- Masonry (Stone, Concrete, Masonry): Surface dirt shifts at a moderate pace—lasers dig in—but deep grime embeds itself. Heavy coatings might flake unevenly if not fully cleared, slowing us and testing the laser’s reach.
- Wood & Organics (Wood, Other Organics like bamboo, rubber): Paint comes off with care—lasers need precision to avoid scorching—but thick varnish or char can burn if we’re not cautious, potentially leaving marks or odors that demand extra attention. Speed drops and difficulty ramps up from 1 to 5 as these factors intensify.
