"Not happy with the color selection to choose from, we created our own custom stain. They have never been asked to do this in all their years of business, but they worked with us to make it possible. Do you know many companies that would do that?"

The Challenge

Several seasons of deferred maintenance had left this Gallatin Valley home with failing stain across the south and west faces, moisture-damaged lower logs, and chinking that had pulled away in multiple locations. Thermal imaging revealed hidden moisture in two lower logs that weren't visibly compromised.

Our Process

Don performed a full evaluation with thermal imaging before any work began. The home was media blasted completely - revealing the full extent of UV damage. Two lower logs were replaced and fitted to match. All chinking was removed and replaced with fresh Sashco material, and the homeowners chose a custom stain color developed with the manufacturer.

The Result

The finished home looked brand new. The custom stain color was unlike anything in the standard catalog - exactly what the homeowners had envisioned. The repaired lower logs blended seamlessly with the surrounding structure, and the new chinking was color-matched throughout.
