Why Choose Franklin Industries?

1. Decay and Rot from Neglected Maintenance

The Problem: Moisture infiltration causes structural decay, requiring immediate attention to avoid costly repairs. Dampness and rot spread rapidly, making repairs increasingly complex if not addressed promptly.

Our Solution: We repair damaged areas, replace severely rotted wood, treat the wood to prevent future rot, and apply advanced protective coatings to seal out moisture.

2. Pest Infestations

The Problem: Insects like termites and carpenter ants can wreak havoc on untreated or improperly maintained wood. Woodpecker damage is also a common issue that affects both the aesthetics and structural integrity of logs.

Our Solution: We identify infestations, repair pest-damaged areas and woodpecker holes, perform targeted treatments, and use coatings designed to deter pests while preserving your homeâ€™s natural beauty.

3. Old Coatings and Improper Finishes

The Problem: Outdated or low-quality finishes can crack, peel, and fail to protect the wood from UV rays and weather, leaving the structure vulnerable to damage.

Our Solution: We meticulously remove old coatings using industry-leading techniques, prep the surface for optimal adherence, and apply premium Sansin Products for long-lasting protection and a flawless finish.

4. Cracking and Gaps in Logs (Checks and Joints)

The Problem: Unsealed cracks allow water and air infiltration, leading to rot, heat loss, and pest entry. These cracks can also expand over time, worsening the damage. Aesthetics are also critical for homeowners, and poorly applied chinking can detract from the beauty of your home.

Our Solution: Using high-quality chinking and sealants, we expertly fill gaps and cracks, ensuring your home is airtight, weatherproof, and energy-efficient. Our skilled application process ensures an aesthetically pleasing result. We also replace damaged logs when necessary to maintain the structural integrity and appearance of your home
