Cedar Restoration in Mays Landing, New Jersey

We recently completed a cedar wood restoration project at a home in Mays Landing, New Jersey. Over time, the cedar siding had weathered and grayed from exposure to the elements. To restore it properly, we started by applying a specialized wood cleaner to remove dirt, mildew, and old stains. After a gentle, low-pressure wash to avoid damaging the soft wood fibers, we allowed the surface to fully dry before applying a high-quality wood brightener. This step is crucial, as it neutralizes the cleaner, brings out the wood’s natural color, and prepares it for sealing. Once the wood was clean and brightened, we finished with a professional-grade, UV-protective stain to enhance the wood’s appearance and shield it from future weathering.

Restoring cedar requires the right techniques and materials to preserve the beauty and integrity of the wood. High-pressure washing or skipping key steps like neutralizing can leave permanent damage or shorten the life of the siding. By following a proper restoration process, we were able to revive the natural warmth and character of the cedar while also protecting it for years to come. The homeowner was thrilled with the transformation and the renewed life it brought back to their home’s exterior.
