All exterior lighting fixtures are carefully covered and taped to safeguard them against damage and potential electrical issues.

On the initial day of work, the crew will remove the old stain product by means of media blasting the logs.

The following day, after allowing sufficient time for drying, the team meticulously sands down the logs to achieve a smooth surface, ensuring a uniform appearance and preparing the surface for the forthcoming stain application. To safeguard against wood-eating insects, a Borate treatment is meticulously applied to the logs and trim.

On the third day, with the log home adequately dried, the crew conducts a comprehensive inspection of all caulking, including window and door frames, applying fresh caulking wherever necessary.
