Some updates on the log home we are presently working on. We are half way done with the log home but have to media blast the railing and 2 garages yet. One of the pictures is the blasting on the first garage. Even when we have inclement weather we adjust for it by encapsulating the home and heat the areas that we are working on. This keeps the projects going throughout the year.

These pictures show the blasted and stained log home but the fascia will need to be stained in the spring.

We started in 70 degree weather and finished in the snow and 10 degree weather. The log home was previously stained with a solid stain and you can see the transformation by removing the old stain and putting a natural stain on the home.

Cold weather work

It is that time of the year where we start enclosing the log homes so we can continue working through the winter months.
This home is in the process of having the old solid stain removed by media blasting and then stained with a translucent stain. These pictures are of the work in progress and I will attached pictures when finished.

Log home that just needed a good cleaning and a top coat of stain. This home only had a few minor issues that we repaired (window trim with some water damage). This home was in pretty good shape and after the cleaning we had to touch up a few spots then put a top coat of stain on the log home.
I have attached the finished pictures right below the original pictures before we started.

This log home was just finished in the Baraboo, WI area. Everything was pretty straight forward until the crew went on the roof to prep the chimney log surround for stain. They found the that the way the flashing was installed didn't prevent water from damaging the chimney surround and the roof below it. After showing the issues to the owner it was decided to remove the bad logs and leave just the stainless steel chimney protruding through the roof. Once we removed the old structure we found that the roof had water damage around the chimney. We removed the bad sheeting, replaced with new and shingled the new sheeting. Sometimes you never know what you are going to find. This didn't slow up the project as we just sent one of our carpenters over to the job and he finished the same time the strainers did on the rest of the house.

Cedar sided home

This is a cedar sided home that had mold and dirt build up from over the years. The home owner was concerned we wouldn't be able to clean and stain the property with the results he was looking for.

 These are the pictures after we cleaned and stained the home. The project turned out great and the customer is very happy.

This home is on a horse farm and the customer was so happy with the finished project he is talking about having us come back and do the horse barns next year. This took some extra effort on the crew but the results were awesome.

This has been a very busy summer so I haven't been updating as much as I should have.
Pictures below are of a very nice Log Home in Nekoosa, WI that need to be cleaned and stained.
This home was finished in July 2016
