Log Cabin Restoration in Oakboro, NC Stanly County

The Total Log Cabin Restoration crew, led by Marco, is currently working on a project in Oakboro, NC, Stanly County. They are tasked with cleaning and re-coating James T's log home, which is in good condition and doesn't require a full restoration.

Marco and his crew begin the preparation process, as they do with all restoration jobs, whether full or partial. They clear the decks and remove all furniture from the premises. Additionally, they take down the gutter downspouts to protect them from staining and to provide easy access to the corners of the home. The crew also takes precautions to cover and tape the exterior lighting, ensuring protection and preventing electrical shortages.

Since this is a partial restoration, the main focus is on cleaning and re-coating the log home. The Total Log Cabin Restoration crew employs a three-part cleaning agent specifically designed to combat mold, mildew, and remove dirt and grime from the logs. They apply the cleaning solution using a sprayer and then rinse it off using a pressure washer set at a low 800 psi, ensuring that the logs are not damaged in the process.

On the following day, once the log home has had ample time to dry, the crew thoroughly inspects all the caulking, including the window and door frames. They apply fresh caulking wherever it is necessary to ensure a tight seal.

With the log home now fully prepared, it is time to apply the re-coating. The crew uses one coat of TWP, California Cedar. To provide an additional layer of protection, they incorporate Bee Gone into the stain. This product serves as a treatment to ward off beetles and other wood-eating insects that may attack the logs.

Overall, Total Log Cabin Restoration, with Marco at the helm, is dedicated to preserving and enhancing log homes through their meticulous cleaning and re-coating processes.
