$13,200 Extreme Wood Restoration in Garibaldi Highlands

In the scenic community of Garibaldi Highlands in Squamish, BC, this residential project was a true showcase of craftsmanship and precision. The homeowner entrusted Colour Craft with a full wood restoration of their property’s exterior — a detailed project that included trim, decks, doors, siding, and garage doors.

Over the course of 13 days, our team worked on approximately several thousand square feet of exterior wood, breathing new life into weathered surfaces that had lost their original character and protection.

This wasn’t just a typical painting job. It was a high-end restoration involving careful sanding and re-staining using Sikkens Cetol SRD RE, a premium oil-based stain known for its longevity and natural wood enhancement.

Priced at $13,200, the project reflected both the scale and the meticulous attention to detail required to achieve a professional-grade finish that would last for years in the challenging coastal climate of Squamish.

Cetol 1 – Sikkens Cetol SRD RE (Oil Based)

$13,200

Squamish weather had taken their toll. The sun had faded the color, moisture had dulled the sheen, and certain areas showed early signs of wear and discoloration. They wanted the property to look like new again — rich, natural, and elegant — without compromising the integrity of the original materials.

After researching local experts, they discovered Colour Craft and were drawn to our reputation for high attention to detail and commitment to craftsmanship. The homeowner especially appreciated how we take the time to restore wood surfaces properly instead of just applying another coat of stain over existing damage.

From our first visit, it was clear this project would require precision and patience. We explained every step of the process, from surface preparation to the selection of the Cetol SRD RE system. That transparency and care earned their trust, and they confidently chose Colour Craft for their restoration.

Each phase was methodically completed, ensuring consistency in tone, sheen, and durability across all wood elements of the home.

Materials and Process

• • Sikkens Cetol SRD RE (Oil-Based): Applied to all exterior wood surfaces including siding, decks, trim, and doors. Chosen for its UV resistance, deep wood penetration, and long-lasting, natural-looking finish.

  • Progressive Sandpapers (Various Grits): Used for detailed surface prep to remove previous coatings and ensure optimal adhesion of the new stain.

  • Specialized Brushes and Pads: Employed to achieve even stain absorption and eliminate lap marks on vertical and horizontal surfaces.

  Every product and tool used was carefully selected to match the high-end expectations of the homeowner and the unique demands of the project’s environment.

Transformation Highlights

Before Colour Craft began, the wood exterior showed clear signs of weather fatigue — fading, dull grain, and inconsistent color from years of sun and rain exposure. After our thorough sanding and staining process, the home’s appearance was completely revitalized.

The new finish restored the warmth and natural grain of the wood, balancing elegance and authenticity. What once appeared worn and gray now radiated depth and character, seamlessly blending with the home’s natural surroundings in Garibaldi Highlands.

Outstanding Results They Love

The homeowner was thrilled with the transformation. They described the result as “better than new — natural, even, and glowing.” Their satisfaction was evident in the glowing Google review they left for Colour Craft, praising our communication, care, and craftsmanship.

The restoration not only enhanced curb appeal but also extended the lifespan of every treated surface, reducing maintenance needs for years to come.

Inspection after completion confirmed even absorption, smooth transitions, and strong adhesion — hallmarks of a professional restoration done right.
