Cleaning
a delicate wood surface
with the proper
solution produces
the desired
result. Without the
proper solutions
the novice is
prone to rely
too much on
pressure alone,
which will
damage the wood
grain and
can never fully
restore the
wood's natural
beauty. |

This
hardwood deck in
Nantasket,
MA restored beautifully.
It required
some paint stripping
in addtion
to our normal approach.
This is perfect
example of the need
for the proper
solutions and
knowledge
of how to use them.

This
gorgeous New Jersey cedar
shake roof was
hiding under 30 years
of moss and
lichen growth. There
were even tree
frogs living up here!
The cedar was,
for the most, in
surprisingly
good shape.
A sealant was
applied, once the
surface was
dry, to seal out
further encroachment.
It's never
too late to
stop the decay and
protect your
investment. |

This
Needham customer called
us after reading
the label on the
can of paint.
It read "Apply to
clean, dry
surface". Dead wood
fiber (aka
weathering) must be
treated like
dirt and removed
before painting.
If you were
waxing your
car, wouldn't you
wash it first?

The
first impression many get
from this
photo is that the bright
area is fresh
stain or paint.
|

|
|
Once
again, simple removal
of mildew, dirt
and dead wood
fiber is all
that is needed to reveal
the beautiful
cedar siding.
Two wet-on-wet
coats of CWF
were sprayed
and brushed
on a week later
to finish
this restoration
in Millis. |

You
have to love natural wood! It's
almost a shame
people paint it.
