Find your starting point
Not sure what your wood needs?
You don’t need to diagnose it before getting in touch. These are useful starting points for a conversation about your property.
01 / SURFACE BUILDUP
The finish seems sound,
but the surface looks dirty.
A deck or fence with a sound finish may only need surface dirt or growth removed. Explore routine cleaning before deciding whether to renew the finish.
02 / WORN FINISH
The color is uneven,
faded or peeling.
The existing finish and wood need a closer look before new finish work is planned. Tell us what has changed and the appearance you’d like.
03 / UNSURE WHERE TO START
You don’t know the history
or what’s possible.
That’s okay. Describe the surface, share photos if you have them, and let us know your concerns. An estimate can help clarify a practical scope.
Surface and finish care. Structural construction, major carpentry and structural log replacement are outside this service. Photos help start a discussion; they do not establish structural soundness.
Decks, fences & log exteriors

Before you request an estimate
A few useful
wood-care answers.
Bring your questions. You don’t need an old product label or a detailed project plan to start.
What is the difference between cleaning and restoration?
Cleaning addresses surface buildup. Restoration may also involve preparing worn or incompatible existing finish and applying a suitable finish. The condition of your wood determines what is practical; the estimate explains the proposed work.
Do I need to know the old stain product? Can you help choose a finish?
You don’t need that information to request an estimate. Share any product, color or work history you know in the optional details, or choose “Not sure” for the existing finish. We assess the coating before discussing options for your wood and the look you want.
Can I request work on a deck and fence together?
Yes. Choose “More than one project” and describe both in the same request. We can review the surfaces at one property together while keeping the recommended work clear for each.
What determines the schedule?
Project size, preparation, access, weather and finish requirements affect timing. Tell us about locked gates, difficult access or dates you need us to consider. We discuss the work sequence with your estimate; drying and application conditions depend on the surface and product.
Which page should I use for a log home?
Visit Log Home Cleaning & Restoration for exterior surface and finish care, or choose the log-home option below. Tell us about the coating history and the areas that concern you.
Do you handle structural repairs?
This service covers exterior wood cleaning, preparation and finish work. Structural construction, major carpentry and structural log replacement are outside this service. Mention damaged boards, loose railings or suspected rot so those concerns can be discussed before finish work is planned.
