Wood Care
Lane County · Oregon
Cedar that can take Oregon weather.
We refinish cedar houses across Lane County — gentle wash, honest prep, stain or oil, and a seal that lets the wood breathe. Not a coat of paint.

What we do
Cedar houses, not generic painting.
Most painters treat siding like a wall to cover. Cedar is a skin that still needs to breathe in a wet climate. We restore it so it weathers well in Oregon rain, instead of slapping on a coat of paint.
All services01
Wash & restore
A gentle wash and careful prep so the wood is clean without being torn up.
02
Stain & oil
Penetrating color and oil that move with the wood, instead of a film that peels.
03
Seal & maintain
A breathable seal where the house needs it, and a simple plan for the next coat.
Paint covers cedar. We restore it.
A film finish fails in this weather. A penetrating stain or oil, put on in a dry window, is how a Lane County house keeps looking like wood.
How a job goes
Walkthrough to aftercare
01
Walkthrough
We come look at the house. We talk about what the cedar is doing — gray, tired, peeling, or just due — not only what color you have in mind.
02
Honest scope
What is sound, what is tired, and what a finish can and cannot fix. If something is out of our work, we say so before anyone picks up a brush.
03
Weather window
Stain and oil need dry days. In Lane County that usually means late spring through early fall. We schedule around the rain, not through it.
04
Wash and prep
A gentle wash. Failed finish comes off. We do not blast the grain into fuzz. The boards have to be ready to take oil, not just look wet and clean for an hour.
05
Stain or oil
Penetrating finish, worked in, not filmed over. We choose a color and sheen you can live with as it weathers — cedar should still look like cedar.
06
Seal and aftercare
Where the house needs a sealer, we apply it. You leave with a simple plan for the next coat, years out, written in plain language.

Example photography until we have job photos. One card is reserved for Tim’s own house — the restore that started this.
