Log Cabin Media Blast Restoration in Lillington, NC, Harnett County

May 19, 2025

The Total Log Cabin Restoration team has arrived in Lillington, NC, Harnett County, to strip and re-coat Katherine P.’s log home. The home is in excellent condition and doesn’t require any carpentry work.

Ismael is leading the crew on this project, and they quickly begin the preparation process. As with every restoration, the decks are cleared and all outdoor furniture is removed. The gutter downspouts are detached to prevent staining and to allow easier access to the corners of the house. All exterior lighting fixtures will be covered and taped to protect them from damage during media blasting.

On the first day, the crew starts by media blasting the logs to remove the old stain.

The following day, they will sand the logs to create a smooth and uniform surface, ensuring the wood is ready for the new stain application.

Once the sanding is finished, a Borate treatment is applied to safeguard the logs and trim from wood-boring insects.

On the third day, the team will inspect the caulking around the windows and doors, applying fresh caulk wherever necessary.

With the cabin prepped, it’s time for the new stain. The crew will apply Q8 Dark Brown, with the first coat going on the third day and the second on the fourth day.

This is what Katherine had to say about the job: “The cabin looks 100% better. The experience was excellent! It was nice to still have access to the house while work was being done. We will definitely be a returning customer when we need work done again.
