Log Cabin Restoration in High Point, NC, Guilford County

March 11, 2025

The Total Log Cabin Restoration crew is in Guilford County, High Point, NC to strip and re-coat Lee Budkey’s log home. The log home is in good shape and does not require any carpentry repairs.

William 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.

The cabin is now ready for the new stain application. This cabin will be re-coated using Q8 Medium Gold. The first coat will be applied on day three, and the second coat will be applied on day four.
