The goal of the Contractor Inspiration Center is to pass on to you, the contractor, the many techniques, practices and time saving measures learned and developed during many years in the wood restoration industry.
My company was established in the spring of 1974 for the sole purpose of restoring and preserving wood decks, wood fencing, wood sided homes and log cabins. The company initiated an expansion program in late 1979 utilizing in house employees. Over the next 20 years, the company expanded operations to 28 locations in 19 States. Beginning in mid 1999, many of the owner/managers purchased their respective operations.
The Company has never deviated from the original goal: Restoration and Preservation of exterior wood.

This article will address chemical stripping of oil-based finishes. Blasting media and the removal of water-based finishes will be covered at a later date.
This article may seem elementary to some of you; however, there are some parts that will be of benefit to all.
"I have had the good fortune to know and learn from Mark Smith for the past 6 years. Whether the subject is business or craftsmanship in exterior wood restoration, Mark's advice and guidance has been invaluable and just dead on."
Rick Petry
It has been my great fortune to have been introduced to the 'oldest woody in the world', Mr. Mark Smith. Through his sharing of hard earned experience and insight, my business is able to deliver results my competitiors can only dream of. Mr. Smith has valuable knowledge to share in both the trenches of wood restoration and the sales approach. As he will tell you, you have to follow through with good advice and implement what you learn.
