Media Blasting
Our gentle corn-cob grit media blasting method precisely strips old stain and UV damage, preserving the underlying timber grain. This avoids high-pressure water damage, ensuring a clean, dry surface ready for new finishes.
Breathable Chinking
We expertly apply flexible Sashco chinking, designed to expand and contract with your logs through extreme Upstate weather. This eliminates drafts, improves energy efficiency, and prevents moisture intrusion, ensuring lasting protection.
Rot Mitigation
Localized rot can compromise your log home's structure. Our team identifies and meticulously repairs damaged timber, reinforcing vulnerable areas and preventing further decay, extending the life of your home.
UV Topcoats
After restoration, we apply premium UV-resistant topcoats that penetrate deeply, protecting your logs from sun damage and moisture. This maintains the wood's natural beauty and extends the lifespan of your finish.
Protecting Your Investment
Fading Stain
UV exposure degrades log home stains, causing darkening and graying. Our media blasting removes weathered layers without damaging the wood.
Moisture Pockets
Unaddressed moisture leads to soft spots and structural rot. Early detection and targeted repair are crucial for preserving your log home's integrity.
Cracked Chinking
Failing chinking allows moisture intrusion and air leaks, leading to energy loss and potential rot. We replace old, rigid materials with flexible, breathable sealants.
