The way we work it

Clean, treat, repair and refinish rather than replace, where the wood is still sound.

Clean, treat, consolidate what's salvageable and replace only what isn't. Old-growth siding and trim is denser than anything you can buy now, and it's worth keeping where it's still sound.

Common failure we see

Replacing original wood that only needed cleaning and consolidation. You lose the profile and the material quality and gain nothing.

Common Questions

Questions We Get Asked

Is old wood worth saving?

Usually. Old-growth stock outperforms modern replacement lumber if it's still sound.

When does it need replacing?

When rot goes past roughly a quarter of the thickness, or the piece has lost structural integrity.
