Our Restoration Process

Log Home Surface Preparation (Media Blasting)

Remove Old Finishes and Restore to Bare Wood

The first and most critical step in any log home restoration project is proper surface preparation. We use advanced media blasting (a safe alternative to sandblasting) to remove failing stain, dirt, mold, and UV damage from your logs.
Unlike traditional sanding or power washing, media blasting:

Removes coatings evenly without damaging logs
