Log Cabin Restoration in Wayneville, NC, Haywood County

The Total Log Cabin Restoration crew, is currently in Haywood County, Wayneville NC, undertaking the task of cleaning and re-coating Joel A's log home. Fortunately, the log home is in good condition and does not require a complete restoration.

William the crew leader, is overseeing the job, and the crew begins with the preparation process. As part of their standard procedure for all restoration projects, whether full or partial, they clear the decks and remove all furniture. Additionally, the crew takes down the gutter downspouts to safeguard them from staining and provide easy access to the corners of the home. Furthermore, they cover and tape all exterior lighting to protect them and prevent electrical shortages.

Since this is a partial restoration, the log home only needs cleaning and re-coating. The Total Log Cabin Restoration crew utilizes a three-part cleaning agent that effectively combats mold, mildew, dirt, and grime on the logs. They apply the cleaning solution using a sprayer and rinse it off with a pressure washer set at a gentle 800 psi to avoid damaging the logs.

The following day, after allowing the log home to dry thoroughly, the crew inspects all the caulking, including the caulking around window and door frames. They apply fresh caulking wherever necessary to ensure proper sealing.

With the log home now prepared, it is time for the re-coating process. The crew applies one coat of Stain: Cabin: Nature One - #301 Natural confirmed Satin finish for clear coat 3.21 Deck: Solid Stain or Sikkens SRD 078 Rear Walk Way: TWP - Gold, a protective stain. As an additional measure of defense, the crew incorporates Bee Gone into the stain. This particular product serves as a treatment to combat beetles and other insects that can damage and consume the wood.

Overall, the Total Log Cabin Restoration crew demonstrates their expertise and dedication to preserving log homes, as exemplified by their meticulous cleaning, re-coating, and protective measures for Lee L's log home.
