Fortunately, FS Builders has the expertise to remediate these problems and can help restore your log home to a like-new condition.

Corn Blasting in WI and IL

Several methods are used for log home repair in Wisconsin and Illinois. Many involve harsh chemicals that may be acceptable for an industrial site, but objectionable for a home environment.

FS Builders uses high quality materials from PCS Products for each log home project. These include products for exterior wood finishes, chinking, energy sealants, and wood preservatives.

FS Builders believes that corn cob blasting is the natural and most effective way to prepare logs for refinishing because it accomplishes the task without developing an array of new problems.

Corn blasting is a dry method that uses a mixture of highly compressed air and fine-grade corncob media to remove the existing coatings on logs to strip them down to the bare wood. It has many advantages over harsh chemical alternatives.

• Corn cob blasting is a dry method, so your logs are ready for refinishing right away; you don’t have to wait for wet logs to dry. Ultimately, this saves time and money in the refinishing process.
• Since it is a chemical-free process, you don’t have to restrict your children or pets from your yard for days or weeks due to safety concerns.
• You will have no worries over chemical residues finding their way into your drinking water supply.
• Illinois corn blasting will not harm your landscaping as chemicals would.
• Wisconsin corn blasting is actually an eco-friendly solution for log home restoration because corncob grit is a great fertilizer. It contains nitrogen, which most plants need to survive.
