Log and Siding Home Restoration for CEO of Wild TV

This beautiful log and siding home belongs to the CEO of Wild TV, and we had the pleasure of working with him and his wonderful family during the summer of 2021. Set among the trees in Spruce Grove, Alberta, the property showcases the timeless charm and warmth that only a true log home can offer. However, after years of exposure to the elements, the exterior had begun to lose its rich tone and protective finish. Our team at Ocean Pacific Log Home Restoration was brought in to bring the home back to life — restoring its natural beauty, renewing its finish, and ensuring the structure would remain protected for many seasons to come.

The restoration process began with a full log and siding blast to remove the weathered stain and surface buildup that had accumulated over time. We used our specialized media blasting technique to gently strip away the failed finish without damaging the underlying wood fibers. This step is essential for every restoration project, as it prepares the wood to properly absorb new stain and protective coatings. Once the blasting was complete, the true color and texture of the logs were revealed again — clean, even, and ready for refinishing.

With the surface restored to a fresh, natural state, our crew applied three coats of Sikkens Natural 078 Log & Siding, a premium product known for its durability and deep, warm tone. Each coat was applied with care to ensure consistent coverage and optimal absorption into the wood grain. This approach helps create a long-lasting finish that resists UV damage, moisture, and fading — key for homes exposed to Alberta’s wide range of weather conditions, from hot, dry summers to freezing winters.

Throughout the project, we worked closely with the homeowners to make sure the finish color met their expectations. They wanted to restore the home’s original aesthetic while adding a layer of modern protection that would reduce future maintenance needs. By combining quality product with our attention to detail, we achieved a finish that not only looks stunning but also enhances the home’s longevity and value.

Once the log home staining was complete, the transformation was remarkable. The home’s rich golden-brown tones once again stood out against the green landscape, and the logs regained the depth and character that define a well-maintained log structure. The Sikkens coating provided a smooth, even finish that highlighted the natural grain patterns and knots, giving the home a warm, inviting appearance from every angle.

As with all of our log building restoration projects, our team followed a meticulous cleanup process to ensure the property was left spotless. We removed blasting debris, checked each log and siding board for potential areas needing additional attention. The end result was a fully restored log and siding home that looked as though it had just been built — with the added benefit of superior protection for the years ahead.
