On Eds place we stripped the stain from the the house and brightened the wood siding to accept new stain. Cabots wood brightner brings back the new look luster of fresh new cedar. The roof was pressure washed entirely and re-oiled.


Because the liken had such a heavy build-up on the roof, we also sanded addtional liken off the shakes.

We re-placed Brads wood columns on the back deck with fiberglass columns. The wood columns didn't hold up on the beach front!

As you can see there were quite a few problem areas on Brad Tonkins Ocean front beach home needing attention. We specialize in wood rot replacement using Smith and Company epoxy products.
