Seems like that would make a mess inside your house?
Not really, most shot blasting set ups are equipped with a dust collection system, which is a high cfm vacuum and filters. You do get some stray shot escaping and some dust emissions it the rig crosses uneven surfaces..

Since the area to be prepared is only 350 sf.. even some of the smaller shot blast units could barely maneuver in that space... And getting a contractor to come and mobilize his equipment for such a small space would cost beau coup dinero..

We use shot blast subcontractor to prep thousands of square feet pf bridge decks for overlays.....

It is the best method for surface prep if you have huge areas...and its the best if have a small area.. maybe not the most economical in that instance...
