Programs

Start Here

Public Asset Corrosion Survey

A fixed-price walk-through and photo report for a municipality, school, park system, HOA, or industrial facility.

  • Asset-by-asset photo log with location and condition notes
  • Simple red / yellow / green prioritization
  • “Clean and recoat,” “repair first,” “monitor,” or “engineering review” recommendations
  • Scope-of-work language for maintenance requests, quote solicitations, or grant files
  • Optional test patch on agreed sample areas

Park & Playground Rust-Prevention Program

A seasonal program for towns and park departments.

  • Spring pre-season inspection
  • Targeted removal of loose corrosion and failed coating from eligible metal components
  • Prep for your painter or coating contractor
  • Photo records by asset and reinspection after winter
  • A “repair or replace” escalation list for cracked, bent, or structurally suspect items

Accessible Route & Handrail Surface Prep

Targeted surface preparation for accessible-route metal features, helping owners maintain usable, well-kept facilities and prepare surfaces for repair or protective coating.

  • Handrails and ramp rails
  • Accessible-route barriers and gates
  • Metal thresholds, guards, rail systems, and bollards

Walking Surface & Metal Asset Hotspot Remediation

For fabricators, warehouses, quarries, food and beverage facilities, recycling operations, trucking terminals, and equipment-heavy farms.

  • Handrails, guardrails, grating, catwalks, and platforms
  • Ladders where surface prep is appropriate
  • Machine bases, equipment supports, frames, brackets, skids, housings, and manifolds

Clean-and-Coat Partner Program

You own the repair and coating scope. We handle selective laser cleaning, corrosion removal, and surface preparation where blasting or chemicals are inefficient, risky, or too aggressive — with photo documentation for your closeout package. We partner with commercial painters, powder coaters, fabrication and welding shops, railing and fence contractors, general contractors, playground installers, and restoration shops.

Why It Matters

Regulations create a maintenance duty, not a laser mandate. OSHA’s walking-working surfaces rule calls for keeping those surfaces free of hazards including corrosion. Under ADA Title II, public entities must keep required accessible features in operable working condition. The CPSC Public Playground Safety Handbook flags rusted or corroded metal as an inspection concern.

We help owners address visible corrosion and failing coatings on metal assets that may affect safety, accessibility, inspection readiness, or the performance of a new coating system. We do not certify OSHA, ADA, or playground-safety compliance.

What Laser Cleaning Is — and Isn’t

Laser cleaning is a selective surface-preparation tool, not a structural repair. Our surveys document visible surface condition and recommend maintenance options. Structural integrity, load capacity, code compliance, and engineering determinations remain the responsibility of the owner and qualified design professionals.

Cleaning is usually followed by the appropriate repair, primer, paint, sealant, or coating system — corrosion can return on unprotected metal. Results vary by substrate and site conditions, and items that need repair, replacement, or engineering review are flagged rather than cleaned.

“Don’t wait until rust becomes replacement.”

We identify the assets that can be cleaned, prepared, recoated, repaired, or escalated — then give you the photos and scope to act. Based in Sussex County, serving Warren, Morris, Passaic, and all of northern New Jersey.

How It Compares
Method Comparison

Laser vs. The Old Ways

Different methods each have a place. This table shows where laser cleaning stands out — especially when precision, control, and surface preservation matter most.

Method Substrate Damage Media / Waste Precision Best For
⚡ Pulse Laser Cleaning None None Surgical Historic surfaces, precision metalwork, delicate materials
Abrasive Blasting Moderate Heavy media waste Low Bulk industrial rust removal
Chemical Stripping Moderate Hazardous waste Medium Large flat surfaces, factory settings
Grinding / Wire Brushing High Sparks / dust Very Low Rough material prep only
Dry Ice Blasting Low CO₂ gas release Medium Food-grade surfaces, mold cleaning
Common Questions
FAQ

Straight Answers.

What is laser cleaning and how does it work?

+

Pulse laser cleaning uses focused light energy to vaporize rust, paint, soot, and other surface contamination — without grinding, blasting, or chemicals. The laser targets only the contamination layer, leaving the base material underneath untouched.

Is laser cleaning safe for delicate surfaces?

+

Yes — pulse laser cleaning is non-contact and non-abrasive. Power settings are adjusted based on material sensitivity and we can test on a small area first. It is widely used in historic preservation precisely because it does not damage the original substrate.

Do you come to me, or do I bring things to you?

+

We offer three options. For large or fixed items — machinery, facades, structural metalwork — we come to you on-site. For smaller items like automotive parts, tools, antiques, and collectibles, we offer local pickup and return by appointment, or we can set up and clean right in your driveway. And for customers outside our local area, you can simply box up the parts and ship them to us — we'll clean them and ship them straight back to you.

How much does laser cleaning cost?

+

Every job is priced individually based on surface area, material, and condition — so there's no one-size-fits-all rate card. The best way to get a number is to text or email us a photo. Most quotes come back the same day and there's never any obligation. No job is too small, so don't hesitate to reach out.

What areas do you serve?

+

We're a service-area business based in Sussex County, NJ, serving NJ, NY, and Eastern PA. We come to you on-site, offer local pickup by appointment, or you can ship your items to us. See our Service Area section for a full county list or call or text us to confirm availability.

Is laser cleaning safe for historic stone homes?

+

Yes. Pulse laser cleaning is one of the safest methods for historic stone including fieldstone, limestone, sandstone, and granite. The laser vaporizes surface contamination without abrading or etching the stone.

Do you work with restoration contractors?

+

Yes — we actively welcome contractor partnerships. We coordinate with your schedule and job site, and offer contractor-friendly pricing for recurring or multi-phase project work. Call or text us to discuss.

Are you certified and compliant with laser safety regulations?

+

Yes. The Laser Cleaning Shop operates in full compliance with ANSI Z136.1-2022 — the American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers — and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.54 governing nonionizing radiation in the workplace. Our owner holds a Laser Safety Officer (LSO) certification, which means every job is assessed for hazard classification, proper controls, and appropriate PPE before work begins. Our owner is also a member of the Laser Institute of America (LIA), the leading professional organization for the laser industry. You can hire us with full confidence that safety protocols are taken seriously on every project.

Meet the Owner
Dave Kelly, owner of The Laser Cleaning Shop — mobile laser cleaning NJ

Laser Safety Officer & Owner — The Laser Cleaning Shop LLC  ·  Member, Laser Institute of America (LIA)

Hi,
I'm Dave.

I started The Laser Cleaning Shop after years of battling rust in hard-to-reach areas on my vintage camper collection — a 1958 Franklin, a 1965 Wildcat, a 1967 FAN, and a 1976 Airstream Argosy. Anyone who has worked on a classic knows the problem: rust hides in every seam, corner, and crevice that grinders and sandblasters simply can't reach without causing damage. Laser cleaning changed everything for me, and I knew it could do the same for others.

I studied the technology from the ground up, connected with experienced operators across North America, and earned my Laser Safety Officer certification. Every job is handled with the same care and precision I bring to my own restorations.

The Laser Cleaning Shop operates in full compliance with ANSI Z136.1-2022 (American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers) and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.54 (Nonionizing Radiation). As a member of the Laser Institute of America (LIA) — the leading professional organization for the laser industry — we stay current with evolving safety standards and best practices. Safety isn't an afterthought — it's built into every job.
