A Better Way to Stain”
It’s about Transformation: old and weathered logs brought to life again, or timbers refreshed with color when they were once only gray.
These are the results we want for our dream home, but sometimes those results seem like a distant fantasy. We’ve seen other log and timber homes scorched by the sun and are afraid of the “big project” nature and the hefty price tag of maintaining our own. Contrary to common wisdom, having a great quality stain is only half the battle. The other half is what is neglected the most: routine maintenance.
Over time, routine maintenance is truly the key to easier and less expensive staining. When done every 3-5 years, we find that routine maintenance saves a lot of time and money by elimination much of the prep work before staining. Simply do a light power wash, allow the wood to dry at least 2 to 3 drying days and apply a maintenance coat. No Sanding or stain removal necessary. Your contractor will be happy you called sooner than later, and your pocketbook will be, too! It’s that simple.
Use a quality stain like Transformation Log & Timber and you’ll transform the look of your wood. Practice routine maintenance, and you’ll discover a better way to stain.

Routine Maintenance
Everyone knows that a $30.00 oil change twice a year beats a $2,000 mechanic’s bill. Routine maintenance on your logs or timbers could be the difference between $2,000 every 3-5 years or $20,000 to completely redo the job. It’s truly the key to a better way to stain.
