A few useful answers
Before you head to the bench.
Booking, prices, mail-in work and getting started. If your question is specific to your gear, ask John.
How do I book?
Choose the service and time on our booking calendar. If you are unsure what you need, choose a skate evaluation.
Where is the shop?
6455 Holyoke Drive, Annandale, VA 22003. Visits are by appointment. Contact and directions.
What does sharpening cost?
Hockey sharpening starts at $15 per pair, figure sharpening at $20 per pair and hockey profiling is $65 per pair. Additional work is discussed before we start.
Can I bring multiple pairs?
Yes. Allow time for the number of pairs, blade condition and a conversation about the setup. A calendar slot is not a guaranteed completion time.
How long does mail-in work take?
Received work typically ships back out within 24–72 hours, depending on workload. Transit and any wait for parts are additional. Confirm the work and shipping with us before sending it.
Do I need to know my hollow or profile?
No. Tell us how your skates feel and what you want to change. The guides and finder tools can help you prepare, but you can book without them.
How do I order custom work?
Tell us the idea, item, quantity and deadline. We confirm the requirements, price and timing for your specific project before you commit.
When will a new Bladetech order ship?
Popular models and sizes are stocked at the shop. Other models and add-ons can take additional time. Ask about availability and timing for your exact setup, especially if you have a deadline.
