Restoration

The stain is failing. When it has failed, the result is a dried, flaking finish that doesn’t pass the moisture test, meaning any application of water soaks into the logs and allows checks and rot to form. 

Our restoration process is like a performance. We start by abrasive blasting to strip down the failing finish. This exposes fresh wood cells and prepares them to be treated and sealed. We then sand the logs to control the porosity across the entire home.

Borate solution is applied to log surfaces to prevent mold, rot, and insects. All windows and areas of concern are protected with masking prior to stain application.

Finally, the stain product of your choice is applied when weather and temperatures are appropriate for our standard of work.
