The Problem
Heart pine on a semi-exterior porch expands and contracts aggressively, and the previous finish had checked and grayed. The homeowner wanted the deep amber to return without replacing the historic wood.
Our Solution
We hand-sanded to preserve the narrow-plank profile, filled cracks with color-matched wood filler, and applied three coats of marine-grade spar urethane in gloss for UV and moisture resistance.
