Keep good wood good.
Decks, cedar siding and log homes deserve more than a coat of color. Superior cleans, restores and preserves exterior wood with nearly three decades of hands-on experience.
Real project · St. Louis areaPreservation, not decoration
The finish should protect the wood, not just make it brown.
Sun and weathering break down coatings and deplete the oils in exterior wood. Once that protection is gone, moisture becomes a much bigger problem. Our work starts with understanding what is already on the surface, cleaning it without damaging the wood, and choosing a finish that makes sense for the material—not simply covering it up.
What we do
Wood first. Service labels second.
Customers call it power washing, staining, sealing or restoration. The name matters less than doing each step correctly for the wood in front of us.
Cedar Siding
Older cedar, different grain patterns, mildew, cupping, woodpeckers and decades of weathering all require judgment, not brute force.

Log Homes
Maintenance and preservation for logs that see different exposure on every side of the house—including difficult-access projects.

Maintenance beats replacement
You shouldn't have to wait for rot to call us.
Horizontal deck surfaces normally need attention sooner than rails and other vertical wood. A regular maintenance cycle keeps the preservative in the wood and gives us a chance to deal with small problems before they become expensive ones.
I'd much rather keep their wood from rotting to begin with.How we maintain decks
The sun tells on itself
One side can look years older than the rest.
Log homes make weather exposure easy to see. The side that takes the hardest sun often loses its finish first, turns darker, dries out and checks more heavily while protected walls still look respectable.
The answer isn't more pressure. It's understanding the condition of the wood, cleaning it appropriately and putting protection back where weathering has taken it away.

Experience shows up in the details
Forty-year-old cedar doesn't need to be treated like new lumber.
Wide lap siding can cup and crack. Older soft fibers can erode away. Horizontal grain holds pollen and moisture differently than vertical grain. Carpenter bees can invite woodpeckers to turn one tunnel into a row of holes.
None of that is unusual after nearly three decades working on cedar homes. The goal is to preserve what can be preserved, repair what makes sense, and be honest about what age and weathering can't undo.
About cedar siding
Not everything fits a neat category
Cedar specialist. Painter. Problem solver.
Some cedar homes already have solid-color finishes. Some projects start as a small repair and turn into custom fabrication. And occasionally a refrigerator needs real oak doors because the old panels simply won't work.
