Log Home Restoration in West Augusta, VA, Augusta County

Total Log Cabin Restoration team is currently situated in West Augusta, VA, specifically in Augusta County. Their objective involves the restoration of Terry D's log home. This log home is in good shape and will not need any repair work.

Marco, is the leader of the crew, who spearheads the initial phases of the restoration process. As is customary with all restoration endeavors, the decks are cleared of obstructions, and all furniture is relocated. To ensure their safeguarding, the gutter downspouts are dismounted, shielding them from staining substances while facilitating easy access to the corners of the residence. Furthermore, a comprehensive protective measure is adopted for all exterior lighting fixtures. These are methodically covered and secured with tape to prevent damage and minimize the risk of electrical malfunctions.

On the first day, the crew initiates the restoration procedure by applying a stripping solution onto the logs. This potent substance is allowed sufficient time to exert its effects. After a duration of twenty minutes, the stripping agent is meticulously rinsed off using a pressure washer. Subsequently, a team member administers a neutralizing agent, effectively deactivating the effects of the stripping solution.

After a night of drying, the crew undertakes the process of sanding the logs. The sanding serves the dual purpose of achieving a smooth and uniform surface on the logs while simultaneously preparing them for the application of the new stain.

the conclusion of the sanding process, a specialized Borate treatment is applied. This treatment is instrumental in preventing the potential damage caused by wood-boring insects to both the logs and trim.

On the third day, after sanding the crew undertakes a comprehensive assessment of all caulking elements. This includes an evaluation of the caulking surrounding window and door frames. In instances where rejuvenation is deemed necessary, fresh caulking material is judiciously applied.

On the final day, the log cabin is ready for stain application. The chosen stain for this restoration is TWP Butternut Brown. Application of the first coat is applied on day three, with the subsequent coat being applied on the following day, marking day four of the restoration journey.

When asked to reflect on their experience, this is what Terry had to say: "TLCR just restored our 3000 sq ft log cabin. The results are beautiful and we are so glad we had this work done. It was the biggest investment we have ever made in maintenance but it was worth it.
First - this business is incredibly well run. Every single person we interacted with was knowledgeable, collaborative and friendly. Every detail was seen to from the first contact and estimate visit by Stu, all the way through to the work itself and the final walkthrough. Marco and the crew that did our work were the best crew we have ever worked with by far. They were professional, skilled, thorough, efficient and super detail oriented.
Our cabin was a mess - we had all kinds of mismatched areas between the house, porch, trim and decking. The logs were down to bare wood in places and uneven coverage in others, there was log siding popping out, we had carpenter bees, we had a dangerous balcony, and a big gap on one of the porch posts. We have had the cabin for a couple years, but no maintenance had been done for 20 years.
They fixed all of it - Powerwashed everything, stripped the logs all the way down, fixed all the issues with the wood, made various repairs, sealed everything, put beautiful new stain on, helped us pick out a great trim color and painted trim, decking, porch, garage doors, shutters etc. I never knew our cabin could look so beautiful, thank you so much to everybody at TLCR!"
