This home is in Tukwila, WA and had been neglected for many years. The
logs were coated with primer and paint and had multiple coats, so
corncob
blasting was used to clean the logs, followed by buffing of the logs, and
finished with 2 Coats of
Lovitt's Natural Gold Wood Finish w/Honey Tint. We then painted
the bottom T-11 a more attractive color to blend with the logs. The decks
were restored using
Lovitt's Wood Cleaner/Brightener Kit and Finished with 2 coats of
Lovitt's Natural Gold! Like a new house! Only 50 years old!
Tukwila, WA
This home had Behr™ Rawhide™ removed by corn cob blasting, then the home was
sanded to a smooth finish, and finished with 2 Coats of Lovitt's Natural Gold
W/Honey Tint back-brushed into the wood to saturation. This job was completed in
6 days, on schedule as always!

25 year old
log home This particular home in Ellensburg,
WA had a thick layer of solid body coatings applied over the years.
Unfortunately for the logs, they were unable to breathe naturally resulting
in deterioration and rot development in many areas around the house, this
corner was particularly bad. MM Technicians
corncob blasted
the home,
brightened the logs, sanded the logs
thoroughly, repaired the rotted log sections, and well, you can see the
results! |

Above right are happy logs, fully nourished and protected.
To the left are unhappy logs, their wood grain clouded, the acrylic coating is
peeling off and the logs are beginning to dry out and check. What to do?
Off with the 100% Acrylic wood finish, not only does the acrylic finishes make
the logs look plastic, or chalky, the underlying dislike we have for these
"surface coatings" is chemically and scientifically based. Bottom line, we
feel that acrylics are not appropriate for the long term care of your logs and
cedar, period. Call us toll free to discuss our philosophies on wood care,
we care for hundreds of log and cedar homes in the Pacific Northwest and know
through experience what logs and cedar siding crave, it's Lovitt's Natural Gold
Professional Wood Finish. We saved this home from further
decay and embarrassment and removed the acrylic coating and applied
Lovitt's Natural Gold
Professional Wood Finish
Olympia, WA
As you can see on the home above, we removed the failed finish
with Lovitt's Wood
Cleaner/Brightener and restored the logs to a new condition and finished the logs with 2 coats of
Lovitt's Natural
Gold Wood Finish back-brushed into the wood to saturation. Next, we
removed the old tattered metal roof, made repairs, and installed a new metal
roof. Some finishing touches included the painting of electrical boxes,
screen doors, and miscellaneous trim.

home repair and restoration, call us now for a free estimate on your project.
Coeur d' Alene, ID
Another home restored with Lovitt's Wood Cleaner and
Brightener and then Stained with Lovitt's Natural Gold Wood Finish. A home
like this one needs a lot of maintenance to keep it looking this way, as you can
see there are no soffit overhangs to protect the siding from the rain.
Also, there are no trees or hills to shade the home. This means the home
will require more maintenance than a home that enjoys the aforementioned shade
cover and soffit overhangs. We recommend maintenance using
Lovitt's Wood Cleaner and
Brightener and a light coat of
Lovitt's Natural Gold Wood Finish every 3-5
years... A long term maintenance plan is essential to keep your natural
wood or log home looking great year after year but most of all, structurally
protected from weather, rot, and insect infiltration.

Sudden Valley, WA
On this particular home, we restored the logs using Lovitt's
Wood Cleaner/Brightener, buffed the logs to perfection, then finished them
with Lovitt's Natural Gold w/Pine tint. Once the finish cured, we came back with a 1" average chink between the logs using
trapezoid backer rod and Perma-Chink™ Chinking. This customer noticed the warmth and coziness
that chinking can provide (along with preventing insect and water infiltration among
other things), we recommend chinking on most every log home design, even those "chinkless"
styles.
The logs were finished with
Lovitt's Natural Gold Wood Finish!

AND............ This Old Vintage Log Home in Stanwood, WA on
The Lake!
This Old log home was restored using Lovitt's Cleaner &
Brightener, Finished with 2 coats of Lovitt's Natural Gold Wood Finish, and
finished off with the removal of the existing mortar concrete chinking and
replacing it with modern professional acrylic chinking, what a difference!
This project was completed on schedule! The neighbors
can't believe the transformation! More pictures to come.......
This home needed a lot of attention, we gave her all she
needed. We restored the logs and made various small repairs, then we
finished her with
Lovitt's Natural Gold with a Honey
Tint! Next up for attention was the roof, we restored that also using
Lovitt's Wood Restorer & Brightener as we did on the logs. The roof was
treated with P-Wood
for long term protection. The owners opted not to finish the roof with
Lovitt's Natural Gold, as they wanted the wood to gray out naturally but still
have protection, P-Wood
was the perfect product to accomplish their goals.
If you are unhappy with the way the wood exterior of your log
home, cedar home, fences, and decks look, let us help you get them back to the way you want it. All MM
Wood Restoration and Protection 
Exterior wood requires
protection from the elements. If the wood is not protected, it becomes
susceptible to damage caused by the elements. Structural decay due to
sun, water and mold can be prevented by professional preparation and then treating the wood with a high quality
wood finish.
