Log Home Restoration: Deciding on a Color

The best way to know what a color is going to look like on your log home or in this case cedar siding,  is to brush on some wet samples. During this cedar siding home restoration, a section of the cedar siding was cleaned and allowed to dry. Then several stain samples were applied. This is the only good way to determine what a color is going to look like on your home. Pictures and paint chips are not a very accurate way to determine  colors. Each house is going to be different. The type and age of the wood will dictate the shade of a stain so to really know and be sure about the color, wet samples are the best way to determine what your house will look when a new finish is applied.

When this wall is stripped, the samples will be removed and a clean bare surface will be left perfect for applying a new finish. And you will know exactly how the new finish will look.
