MEDIA AND SANDBLASTING WOOD
Removing Old Finish
We use a specific grit of Black Walnut shell to blast the log or wood back to bare wood. This process removes the old stain, watermarks, mold, and UV damage. It is gentle enough to do all the window casings without damaging the glass. Sometimes sandblasting wood is needed. We know all the benefits and risks when working with a bigger grit on your wood home and are specialized in creating the best finish for your home.
LOG HOME STAIN
Protecting Your Investment
It is very important to protect your investment. Protection from UV degradation is the defining factor in the longevity of your log or wood home. The UV damage will happen somewhere between 3 to 10 years, depending on the wall’s orientation. Wood will weather differently depending on which direction the wall is facing. South and North walls will weather differently than the East and West. That is precisely why it is important to look at each wall to find which process and products are needed. Our log home stain is specialized to protect from the UV damage.
LOG HOME CHINKING
Filling In The Gaps
Log home chinking is a very flexible product that is installed in between the logs of a log home. It provides an airtight seal that stops unwanted infiltration of air, water, insects, and rodents. It is of the utmost importance that the chinking is installed properly with backer-rod in between the log which allows for the proper adherence to the upper and lower log. We at Above Board are very proud of our skill and attention when we install chinking in our log homes. We have a variety of looks available to suit your home and preferences.
WOOD ROT REPAIR
Stopping From Further Deterioration
At Above Board we can repair mild wood rot damage on your log home. We inject the wood with special epoxy’s to harden and protect against further damage. In some cases, the rot is too extreme and we have to cut out the rotten log and replace it to complete the wood rot repair.
BLASTING CEDAR SIDING

We can also blast cedar siding and wood shake homes to remove sun damage or old finishes. Our walnut shell blasting is soft enough to only remove the top layer and make your cedar siding look like new.
