What was needed
How the surface was prepared.
The work focused on the oak porch frame and its weathered outer surfaces. Existing finish, ingrained dirt and greyed weathering were progressively removed with a gentle, measured cleaning approach rather than aggressive blasting. The timber was treated consistently across the visible frame so its natural grain could show through in a fresher, more even presentation.
