Major restoration in Spooner, WI - This log lodge was built around the turn of the century and over the years, it was used as a resort as well as a private residence. In 2006, it was bought by the Pundyk family.
The lodge and property were in pretty rough shape. Edmunds and Company worked with the Pundyks and a great group of contractors to the restore the lodge, bringing it back from 30 years of neglect.
We replaced over 500 feet of rotted logs, blasted the exterior and interior logs, applied a borate treatment to the exterior logs, and finally stained and chinked the outside of the building.
|
In the end the project lasted over two years. This project
is a prime example of the type of project that we do. While the scope
of the log work and the restoration in general was very large in this
case, it exemplifies the quality of restoration we provide to our
clients.
Testimonial: "We realized we were in great hands from our first meeting with Matt Edmunds prior to purchasing our 100+ year old log lodge in Northwest Wisconsin. Matt's expertise was apparent as he surveyed the building and gave us a realistic estimate on the extent of the structural restoration that would be required and the necessary time frame to complete the job.
At the start of the next summer, Matt and his highly talented team, led by Jesse Sopiwnik, began the extensive repair to over 25% of the building. Most of the problems in the structure arose from years of water damage which had never been addressed properly. The Edmunds crew approached these problem areas from engineering, architectural and aesthetic perspectives and replaced whole sections of the original building, while staying true to the original historic character. |
|
For over five months, the talented men and women of the Edmunds crew came to the project every day with amazing energy, enthusiasm and skill. They made even the most difficult obstacle seem like just another interesting challenge.
The restoration is now complete, and we cannot believe the transformation. In addition to extensive log replacement and repair, the Edmunds team also sand blasted and stained all of the exterior logs and applied fresh chinking. Our historic log lodge, which had previously been dull and weathered, is now restored to it's original splendour. We are thrilled with Matt and his team and give them our highest endorsement."
