Protecting Vigas, Beams, and Architectural Wood Accents
Exposed wood features like vigas, corbels, and wooden lintels are iconic to New Mexico architecture, but they are highly vulnerable to the desert environment. Without proper preservation, intense UV radiation and dry winds will quickly cause architectural wood to crack, splinter, and gray.
Our targeted painting services include expert wood preservation. We use deeply penetrating, oil-based stains and high-grade UV sealants specifically formulated for extreme climates. This process restores the rich, natural color of your exterior wood while locking out moisture and preventing structural degradation.

Q: What type of wood preservative do you use for exterior staining?
