Log Home Sandblasting

Controlled low-pressure media blasting designed to safely remove failed coatings, surface damage, and weathered wood fibres while preserving the strength and integrity of your log home.

What is Log Home Sandblasting?

Exterior log surfaces gradually deteriorate due to constant exposure to sunlight, moisture, and environmental contaminants. Over time, protective coatings fail, and the outer layer of the wood becomes weathered and unstable.

CedarShield uses a controlled low-pressure abrasive blasting process to safely restore the surface of the timber without damaging the structure beneath.

This process prepares the wood for proper absorption of protective treatments and ensures long-term performance of new coating systems.

What Our Sandblasting Removes

Our Process Safely Removes
  • Failed or peeling stain systems
  • Paint, varnish, and clear sealers
  • Surface greying and UV-damaged fibres
  • Mold, mildew, and fungal growth
  • Dirt, contaminants, and environmental buildup
  • Multiple layers of incompatible coatings

Restoring the natural wood surface allows new treatments to bond directly to the timber.

Benefits of Professional Sandblasting

Professional log home sandblasting restores the natural surface of the wood by removing failed coatings, weathered fibres, and environmental buildup. This process creates a clean, stable substrate that allows stains, borate treatments, and protective coatings to properly penetrate and bond with the timber.

Proper surface preparation improves the appearance of the logs, enhances the performance and lifespan of new coating systems, and helps prevent premature coating failure. By restoring the wood to a sound condition, sandblasting plays a critical role in protecting your log home from long-term weather, moisture, and UV damage.

Signs Your Log Home Needs Sandblasting

When Surface Restoration is Recommended

  • Logs appear grey, faded, or weathered
  • Existing stain is peeling, cracking, or uneven
  • Multiple coating layers are visible
  • Mold or dark staining is present
  • The home has not been refinished in 5–10 years

If these conditions are present, professional surface preparation is typically required before applying new protective treatments.
