Pulsar is a mobile fiber-laser cleaning and surface-prep service. We use a high-powered laser to lift rust, paint, coatings, grease, and graffiti off a surface, without sandblasting, without chemicals, and without grinding. The beam vaporizes the contaminant and stops at the solid material underneath, so steel, brick, gelcoat, and sheet metal come out clean and undamaged. We bring the laser and the power to your site: no booth, no grit to sweep up, no chemical runoff, and no shipping parts off for days. Faster, cleaner, non-damaging surface prep, done on-site across Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, and North Idaho.
Real Pulsar jobs: rust, paint, and coatings lifted off in a single pass, with the metal, brick, or tile underneath left untouched. Drag the handle to reveal.

Pulsar runs two fiber lasers: a pulsed beam for precise, gentle work that protects the surface underneath, and a continuous-wave beam with the muscle to clear heavy rust and thick coatings fast. We match the beam to the job. Here's what they take off and what they leave untouched.
Lift rust, scale, and oxidation off steel, iron, and alloys down to bright, paint-ready metal, without grinding away good material or warping thin panels.

Learn more →Lift spray paint off brick, stone, concrete, and metal without scarring the surface or blasting away the face, and with no chemical runoff near storm drains.
Learn more →Cut baked-on grease, oil, and grime off machinery and equipment before repair or repaint, no solvents, no wash-water to contain.
Learn more →Pre- and post-weld cleaning, mill-scale and oxide removal, and fast de-fouling of tooling between runs, so parts are weld- and inspection-ready on the spot.
Learn more →Clean soot, mold, and biological growth off masonry and historic façades, where abrasive blasting can't safely go.

Soot off · brick unharmed
Years of soot and creosote bake into the brick around a fireplace or wood stove, and steaming or scrubbing it is slow, messy, and hard on old mortar. The laser vaporizes the buildup in a fraction of the time, with no water, no chemicals, and no blasting grit. It stops at the masonry, so the brick and mortar come out clean and unharmed. It's gentle enough for historic and heritage stone, and we can reseal the surface before we leave.
If you own, manage, or restore something with rust, paint, or graffiti on it, laser cleaning almost certainly does it faster and cleaner than what you're using now. A few of the people we work with:
Graffiti off brick and stone, with no chemical runoff near storm drains.
Fast graffiti and grime removal that keeps storefronts and lots lease-ready.
A clean, sound substrate before you spray. We're your prep sub, not your competition.
Rust, weld scale, and coatings off parts in place, no shipping them out.
Antifouling paint and corrosion off hulls and hardware without gouging gelcoat, nothing washing into the water.
Rust and paint off frames and panels without warping sheet metal or trapping media in seams.
Rust and grime off tractors, implements, and trailers, right on your property.
Chemical-free, low-dust cleaning that's safe around students and easy to schedule.
Conservation-grade cleaning that preserves the original surface and patina.
Soot off fireplaces and brick, smoke and fire damage restored, with no mess left inside your home.
Strip rust, scale, and old coatings off used machinery for refurbishment and resale, without touching tolerances.
Fire, smoke, and mold crews: fast, dry, chemical-free surface recovery on wood, brick, and concrete.
For yards that dismantle, refurbish, and resell heavy machinery, surface prep is the bottleneck. Laser ablation strips decades of rust scale, baked-on grease, and old lead-based paint without the grit, masking, and hazardous waste of sandblasting, so assets move through the yard faster and come out inspection-ready.
Non-contact cleaning lifts scale off bearing seats, splines, and machined faces without pitting or warping, the asset keeps its engineered tolerances.
Ablation exposes clean, bare metal, the ideal baseline for dye-penetrant, magnetic-particle, or ultrasonic testing, so cracks and weld defects show before resale.
No blast media, no chemical runoff. HEPA-filtered fume capture pulls particulate right at the laser head, including old lead paint, easing EPA and OSHA exposure.
No hauling parts to a shop, no curing chemicals, no grit to sweep up. We bring the laser and the power to you and hand back a ready-to-coat surface, same day on most jobs.
We look at the surface, the contaminant, and the material underneath, and dial in settings that remove one without harming the other.
Our mobile unit and generator roll up to your site. Minimal containment, no blasting booth, no wash-down station.
The laser vaporizes rust, paint, or grime and stops at the solid material beneath, leaving the base surface intact.
We walk the finished surface with you: clean, dry, paint-ready, and a tidy site, usually the same day.
Sandblasting, grinding, and chemical stripping each force a trade-off: they damage the surface, leave a mess, or take your asset out of service. The laser doesn't.
Pulsar runs on one idea: surface prep shouldn't force you to choose between speed, safety, and the health of the material underneath. We built a fully mobile fiber-laser operation that delivers all three: calibrated settings for every surface, trained operators, and a finish your coating (and your inspector) will sign off on.
The robot's just our mascot; the work behind it is dead serious. Licensed, insured, and local to the Spokane / North Idaho region.
