Add a glow to your cedar cladding: Cedar Tech
Cedar is known as the Rolls-Royce of cladding systems. Just like any premium product, it requires a premium and specialist level of service to maintain it.
If you own a cedar-clad home or are looking at buying or building, denying maintenance requirements won’t make them go away.
Cedar maintenance and restoration is a specialist trade, and that is where local company Cedar Tech comes in. “We’re not painters who dabble in cedar, nor are we cedar technicians that dabble in painting,” says company owner Craig Douglas.
“We’re cedar maintenance and restoration specialists. It’s all we do, we love it, and we’re great at it.”
Craig’s clients agree. “The work was excellent.
A very informative quote from how they would clean and prepare the cedar before applying the pigment. Perfectionists!” and “Great communication throughout and very, very happy with the finished work. Kept everything clean and tidy. Thanks, and will continue to have Cedar Tech maintaining the cedar,” are just two of their reviews.
Cedar cladding is treated with semi-transparent coatings. “Nothing can be hidden behind them, so you really do need to get things right. Knowing how is important, but knowing what to do in the first place is even more so. Every job is different, so an expert cedar diagnosis is key. There’s little room for part-timers,” adds Craig. The team work all year round, so you can have your cedar treated this winter and looking stunning for your spring and summer entertaining.
Craig finds most new clients have left their cedar too long between treatments, and need restoration rather than maintenance. “It’s human nature to not take action until we really notice something’s amiss. With cedar cladding though, unfortunately by then it’s usually too late and already in need of restoration,” Craig explains.
Maintenance is cheaper than restoration, so having a regular maintenance program in place is smart. “Joining our maintenance program is definitely the way to go, but if your cedar’s already in serious strife, cedar restoration is still substantially cheaper than cedar replacement,” says Craig. “We can bring almost anything back from the brink and save you tens of thousands [of dollars] in the process.
