Renovated with stone, logs and Haida skirl, this log and wood hybrid home in Errington naturally reflects its forest landscape. This home was refinished with a combination of media glass blasting, sanding and power washing. The garage doors and front entrance were also restored with the same three coat stain used throughout.
Our Projects
The Haida Skirl
Owner built, full cedar siding home detailed with fir posts and window trim. This Vancouver Island home was in great need of an update of the peeling finish and unprotected wood. The home was brush sanded and hand sanded before applying three coats of stain to match the newer garage addition along with painting of the window trims.
Cedar Owner Build
The new owner of this hybrid log and timber home recently purchased in Nanoose Bay wanted to ensure the wood was kept as preserved as possible. The log and wood details were sanded, wood preserve was applied, borate rods were installed at the bottoms of all posts and stain was applied. One rotted support log was replaced with a new one.
Hybrid Waterfront Home
Conditions before the sale of this Ladysmith log home included repair of three rotten logs. The logs were replaced, colour match stain applied, and the home was sealed.
Repair To Sell
After purchasing a log home on Saltspring Island, the new owner found years of neglect from water damage and unprotected logs. The sill logs and corner logs had to be replaced. The rotted logs were removed, remaining wood preserved and replacement log ends installed.
Neglected Cottage
Portions of this Saltspring Island log home were rotting out due to exposure to water and needed replacing. The rotten portion of the logs were removed and replacement logs were scribed and fitted into place. They were then stained and sealed to increase the longevity of the home.
New Purchase Remediation
The eavestrough and the edge of the roof had been leaking water over the side of this log structure for about 10 years. The logs had rotted where the water was hitting and needed to be cut out and replaced. The replacement part of the wall was pre-built, and installed on site.
Shirley Seaside
After a vehicle struck this log house, the owner had us come in to assess the conditions of the logs and to replace any that were damaged. The impact of the vehicle exposed rotten portions of the log house as well as bringing attention to other portions rotting due to very poor eaves-trough water management. We replaced six log ends and a further five portions of log lengths on various portions of the house.
The Log House Pub
This outdoor uncovered market was in need of refinishing work on all of it's benches and tables. The stain had been weathered off in some instances while the beginning stages of rot were seen in others. Two picnic tables were left unprotected for many years leading to extensive rot and their subsequent removal. These were replaced with new stained and preserved tables. The pavillion log structure was in need of the replacement of two rotted posts and a rotted sill plate. The entire structure was sanded and stained.
Farmer's Market Refresh
After a decade without maintenance, the owners of this beautiful Errington log home wanted to preserve and protect the logs from bugs and to restore the cleanliness and brightness of the home.
Log Home Acreage
A client in Victoria contacted us to assess rotted log ends on the outside wall of their log home. It was suspected that runoff water from a closely planted shrub had caused the wood to rot over the course of many years.
Swedish Cope Repair
After a repair was completed on this Nanoose Bay log home, the customer contacted us to chink and stain the new logs so they would match the aged and weathered look of the existing log home finish.
Colour Match Stain
A stunning new-build log home on Mount Washington, Vancouver Island, in need of staining inside and out before completion.
New Build Stain
This community park entrance in Errington was in need of a new roof and completed post covers.
The roof was showing deterioration of the ridge caps and the cedar shakes that composed it.
After 20+ years it was time for an update.
Community Park
Two log homes tied together. The original log house was built in the 1970’s and boasts as the first log home in the Comox valley. It was left in its original state at the owners request while the log addition, along with the siding, was refinished and stained.
Courtenay Farmhouse
This 60+ year old log home had an addition built on to it 20 years ago. Unfortunately, poorly placed flashing and eaves led to the concentration of water and moisture within three of the bottom log ends, resulting in extensive rot. The condition was poor enough that the bottom log end fell off, leading to our call to come repair it.
Farmstead Log House
This log house in Qualicum Beach is composed of uniform milled logs that are tied together to form a hexagon. Due to the tight conditions where the log ends meet, it was decided to perform a combination of stripping the stain, sanding, buffing, and washing.
Hexagon Home
This hybrid log and timber post and beam house was in need of log post and fir railing replacements.
