Log Home Restoration in Powhatan, VA, Powhatan County

Total Log Cabin Restoration team is currently situated in Powhatan, VA, specifically in Powhatan County. Their objective involves the restoration of Judith W's log home. Mike, our highly skilled carpenter, will remove and replace eighty feet of log rot, fifteen log ends, and add fascia board to all porch ceilings so gutters.

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 California Cedar. 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.
