Safeway Sandblaster

Cannot recommend these guys highly enough for many reasons. Firstly, the job they did for my custom furniture business came out first class. Secondly it was done ahead of quoted lead time. Thirdly, they were more than happy to assist me accomplish a task on their premises which, whilst it was related to the items they had powder coated for me, had nothing to do with their listed services and involved them using their fork lift.
Last but not least, the guys are great. Friendly, helpful, honest, trusting and trustworthy. I had previously spoken to a competitor who was, unfortunately, typical of many who own and run workshops, i.e. jaded, ill-​mannered, impatient, unhelpful and not willing to assist in producing the necessary end result. I got the exact opposite with Kyle and the boys at Safeway. Felt welcome, was shown plenty of options, price was lower than the other shop which was also miles away in much lower rent area.
As a person who runs their own business in a somewhat related trade, and who deals with a variety of craftsmen who offer different levels of customer service and reliability, I can assure you that this business is awesome and the owner and staff very approachable.

They are awesome people and very helpful, they did great job always, very recommended !!

What more can I say! Kyle and his company do amazing work! I had brought over two iron cast park bench legs which were woefully oxidized and needed to be cleaned and scrubbed before I can spray.
At home, the only materials available are vinegar, denatured alcohol, acetone, and some other rust off solvents. I even resorted to a vinegar/​baking soda mix which kind of worked but the scale still remained.
I was recommended to try Safeway Sandblaster and I’m extremely glad I did! I called Kyle up at the number this morning and he was polite and gave me a very reasonable quote. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical of whether or not he can really clean. Regardless, I drove over to his shop.
His shop is located in an industrial part of Culver City and is pretty unassuming except for his shop logo. I brought in the iron legs and he said he’d call me after they were done.
CUT TO:
A few hours later…
I received a call from Kyle around 3:15 ish saying they were ready. I dropped by around 4:20 ish and I was absolutely astonished at the sheer detail of the sand blast. I barely recognized the pieces.
He even cleaned it a bit more by blasting the sanded pieces with compressed air and helped me load my truck.
Definitely an excellent establishment where the work is done very professionally and with courtesy. I look forward to using their services with other metal works in the very near future.
Thank you!

I had lost all hope of ever getting my vintage & rusty patio furniture looking like new again (after painting them ourselves two years ago I didn’t really see myself doing all that work again any time soon). This was until my friend recommended having the sandblasted and spray painted professionally. Sure. sounded good to me. I emailed Safeway (Kyle) who responded right away, offered an amazing price, free pick up and delivery (I live very close. so not sure if he does this for everybody), a one week turn around and he POWDER COATED my stuff in this amazing yellow (Bengal yellow #049/​66 666). This fascinating process will last WAY longer than anything else. And voila, the result is amazing. Say hello to yellow and long summer nights.
I am already thinking of what other items I can send to Kyle and his awesome crew.

After calling all around the LA area I found Safeway to be the most affordable. Steve was very helpful with getting my steel hairpin table legs done quick and at a high quality finish. definitely coming back for future projects.

These guys are awesome! Sandblasted and powdercoated an old doggy kennel for me as well as a trailer hitch and countless other things I cant remember. Point is I keep coming back and they do great work with a quick turn around. Kyle is a hard worker, you wont be disappointed with the quality of work

Love this true neighborhood business!
Kyle worked with me to breath new life into my metal vintage coffee table that was possibly on the way to the trash bin. I was hell-​bent on saving it and when these guys were done with it, it could be on the way to the museum! I may have to post a photo. Kyle also reccomended a glass shop to do the glass (separate review on Culver Glass) which worked out perfectly.
Personal proffessional service, good communication, knowledge of materials plus everything is done on site-​no sending anything out. Can’t get better than these guys!
Thanks Kyle-​Zelda

I needed two steel riser legs powder coated with satin black paint, and done well! I called around all over town and Kyle at Safeway was both the cheapest AND the best! He even primer coated first, then painted the legs, smoothing out all my grinding marks and creating a perfectly smooth professional surface that complimented the antique Japanese Tansu cabinet pieces I was converting to a buffet for our dining room. See the photos! Kyle was fast, super nice and even knows my neighbor well. It is so nice to support community small businesses, which I try to do as often as I can. I will definitely be back! His skill and high standards are clear. You simply can’t do better than this! Thanks Kyle!

Such a good job sandblasting my old filing cabinet and turning it into a shiny new, red one.

Fantastic place to get sandblasting and powder coating done. The friendly folks were very quick at getting my items prepared and the price was beyond fair. Thoroughly recommended A+++
