Our process

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.

Where these jobs go wrong

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