Thank you for visiting our web site.

We are a company who is dedicated to assisting Homeowners, Builders, Contractors, and Architects in the decisions they will be making regarding the finishing and restoration of their interior and exterior log or cedar home projects! We are manufacturers for Lovitt's professional line of Architectural Coating products designed for log and cedar homes. Lovitt's log home coating products are professional grade, proven over time, used every day in the field with consistent and sparkling results. All our log and cedar restoration and finishing products are top shelf quality products for finishing Interior and Exterior log homes.   Lovitt's products are specifically formulated for log & cedar homes, but is effective on all exterior wood including decks, fences, and cedar roofs.   Hopefully that is part of the reason you are visiting this site.

Visitors to our web site range from architects to researchers, do-it-yourselfers, log home owners, and contractors. They are learning about the subject of exterior and interior wood finishing and masonry preserving and waterproofing. Some have experience in this area, some have none. What is common amongst all of our visitors, they love their masonry and wood and they want to know how to finish it, the right way. These visitors want to be sure that they are doing the best job possible.

We understand this completely because like you, we love wood and masonry, also. We want to do the best job possible for the thousands of customers that contract with us for this kind of work every year. Our methods and products are what enable us the ability to do just that.

In this web site, we have a variety of scenarios for you to choose from. We have presented our knowledge of log home finishing and restoration in a format that is beneficial to any level of expertise. Our approach is different because our company is different!

Our products are not sold on the shelf of a retail store. All of our finishes are made by Lovitt's Professional Coatings, exclusively for wood finishing and restoration specialists. Why? Because our customers & contractors deserved the best! The only way to control product quality was to not only use the product in the field but also become directly involved in research and development. We can speak about our products from day to day experience restoring log homes in Washington, Idaho, and California.  How does this benefit you?  In this field, we have seen so many scenarios, caused by so many different situations, and have developed techniques for log home restoration and staining for each scenario!  You cannot learn this type of experience in any book or magazine.

We actually do the work in the field of our trade, every day! Why is this a benefit to you? Because quality representation is our goal and that is the best way to provide it. There is no substitution for hands on expertise when you want straight answers, what does a salesman wearing a tie at your local paint store know about log and wood restoration or real solutions to permanent waterproofing and protection of masonry!  The easiest way to sell products is to sell them from a shelf. The BEST way to sell products is to offer them from a reliable and tested source, assuring quality representation for everyone who uses them. It is our belief that 50 percent of the quality you expect lies in the ability to do the job right, the other 50 percent lies in selecting the right products for the job at hand.

We offer the assistance, understanding, and proven methods and products to get your job done right every time. If you are interested in the initial finishing of new exterior logs, wood siding, decks, roofs, fences, concrete, stone, river rock, and masonry waterproofing, you have come to the right place. If you are in need of some practical information concerning log home restoration or masonry waterproofing we have a lot of material for you to see. If you want a finish for log home interiors, wood trim or wood windows, you will be pleasantly surprised about discovering Platinum Interior wood finish. 

We realized early on that the marriage of product and process was good for us and the customers. No longer is there a division between the two. We hold ourselves responsible for the performance of the products and the perfection of the preparation and application every day in our service business. Please check our references while on our website, I think you will find that we are a unique company that really understands the needs of our customers, we treat them like part of our family and we have been there for them year after year providing maintenance, products, and technical advice long after the initial service.

Products Philosophy 

Wood Finishes

The path you are on will either haunt you or reward you when it comes to wood finishing. Your choices will determine the outcome. Think about this for a moment. On one path a person buys a typical product. They put it on the exterior of their home. At first they like it. However, within 6 months they seem to be less enthused. The look is somewhat muddy and dark. So they put another coat on. This doesn’t produce their original idea of what wood should look like. Eventually they end up in restoration-ville. They face the complete restoration of their homes, they attempt to strip down the finish and search for “something” that will fix their problem and make their wood look like they intended.

The other path is that they consult a person with experience in this area. That person directs them to a system that keeps their log home looking good and helps them stay away from restoration.

Scenarios like these abound in the world of wood finishing.

Ingredients play a major part in the durability of a finish.

Building a good finish is not unlike building a car from the ground up. The first thing you must do is to be able to understand how each component interacts with the other components. Then you must decide on the quality of each component.  what you end up with is a finished product you can be proud of.

We know exactly where the problems of a bad finish come from. They come from not researching the products and processes beyond the original selection criteria. You must consider the climate conditions, you must consider the environmental factors, ask the harder questions about exterior finishes and you will find horror stories just below the initial sales story.

Our Professional Grade Exterior Wood Finishes were designed to keep you away from the huge expense of log home restoration. That alone will save you thousands of dollars. However, it will also help your logs, siding, fences, decks, and roof look like natural wood for many, many years with simple maintenance.

Our Professional Grade Interior Wood Finishes were designed with long term durability in mind. All interior products are completely water borne. Why? The inside of a home is not going to be finished again. There are no weathering characteristics other than sun infiltration to worry about. Rather than use products that yellow or crystallize we chose to perfect the water borne stains and finishes. By all accounts from contractors to homeowners, our interior finishes are truly lacquer replacement products.

Exterior Finishes

Oil Based

When we helped to develop our oil based, high solids exterior wood finishes one of our basic considerations was what base to use. There is more than one way to go. The benefits of maximum durability, ease of maintenance, appearance, must all be considered.

Our selection was to choose products based in a blend of natural oils and resins. Our research indicated that this type of penetrating oil base would serve the customers immediate and future needs better than others.

One of our greatest concern was UV protection. A good finish required two grade AAA ultra-violet inhibitors in order to do the job and yet not cover up the wood in the process.

Every ingredient in our line of Lovitt's Professional Coatings has been hand picked, we use only the highest grade materials, expertly blended to achieve excellent results. Remember the assembly of the car? Every component in these finishes are of the highest quality! You have choices, you can drive a KIA or you can drive a Mercedes Benz, there are hundreds of Lovitt's product users and homes restored and protected across the country by MM Wood Restoration & Protection and just as many
happy, satisfied customers who have dealt with our courteous, hardworking crews, and our world class customer support and full time technical department to answer any of your questions regarding the care and maintenance of your natural wood. Our follow up procedures and long term maintenance support is unequaled in the industry.

Water Based

We feel that most water based coatings, especially 100% ACRYLICS are not appropriate for log homes, cedar homes, or any exterior wood applications.  They are film forming and are not easily maintained over a period of time, requiring restoration procedures instead of simple recoats over time.  The key to successful care of your log home is choosing a coating that is good for your logs, long lasting, but most of all, easily maintained!  We know we have delivered with Achieve the look you desire and what the logs crave with Lovitt's Natural Gold Wood Finish, and all our other fine products for your wood.
