Ismael will remove and replace ten feet of window trim, forty eight of 1x8 fascia boards, Forty feet of 2x8 fascia board, and one 1x4x6 deck board.

Ismael is the crew leader for this job, and the crew gets started on the preparation process. As with all the restoration jobs, the decks are cleared, and all furniture is removed, The gutter downspouts are also removed to protect them from stain as well as an easy access to the corner of the home. All the exterior lighting will also be covered and taped to protect and prevent electrical shortage.

On the first day, the crew coats the logs with a stripping agent. The stripper is allowed to work its magic. Twenty minutes later, the stripping agent is washed off with the pressure washer. A member will then apply neutralizer to de-activate the stripper agent.

On the following day, after a night of drying time, the crew will sand down the logs to smooth the surface. This will give the logs a uniform look, as well as, prepare the surface for the new stain.

When the sanding is complete, a Borate treatment is applied to prevent wood eating insects damaging the logs and, or trim.

On the third day, the crew will inspect the caulking and replace as needed. The doors, windows are also inspected, and re-caulked in areas that are needed.
