Log Cabin Repair and Restoration in Midlothian, VA, Chesterfield County

The Total Log Cabin Restoration crew has arrived in Chesterfield County, Midlothian, VA, ready to repair and restore Gary N’s log home. The log home is in need of some repairs. Mike the company’s master carpenter will take care of all the repairs needed. Mike will begin with removing and replacing twenty three feet of log rot, two log ends, remove and replace five stair treads on the back deck, and add plywood under shed overhangs.

The experienced crew begins the preparation process with his team. As with all restoration projects, the first step is clearing the decks and removing all furniture. To avoid any mishaps, the gutter downspouts are taken off, providing easy access to the home’s corners and protecting them from stain. Additionally, all exterior lighting is carefully covered and taped to prevent electrical shortages.

This project is a clean and restore, also known as maintenance cleaning and re-coating. Since stripping old stain product isn't required. Instead, the crew focuses on a thorough cleaning. They use a powerful three-part cleaning agent designed to fight mold and mildew while effectively removing dirt and grime from the logs. The solution is applied with a sprayer and then rinsed off with a pressure washer set at a gentle 800 psi, ensuring no damage to the logs.

The next day, once the log home has dried, the crew conducts a detailed inspection of all caulking, including around window and door frames. Fresh caulking is applied wherever needed, ensuring a tight seal and added protection against the elements.

With the cleaning and caulking complete, the log home is now ready for its new coat. The team applies a single coat of Woodscapes Aurora Brown, a high-quality finish that enhances the home’s natural beauty. To provide extra protection, they mix in Bee Gone, a treatment that combats beetles and other insects known to attack and damage wood.

Thanks to the meticulous work of the Total Log Cabin Restoration crew, Gary N’s log home will continue to stand strong and look stunning for years to come.
