Media Blasting
Precision eco-friendly wood stripping and surface prep for log and timber structures. Mountain Man Painting delivers exceptional surface prep, premium coatings, and a finish built for Colorado's mountain environment.
Professional Media Blasting in Colorado Mountain Communities
Media blasting is a controlled, dry stripping method used to remove failed stain, paint, or weathered wood fiber from log and timber surfaces. It's often the right first step when a log home needs full restoration.
Using pressurized eco-friendly media, we strip coatings back to clean, bright wood so a new stain can penetrate and bond properly—without forcing gallons of water into the logs.
Who This Is For
Log home owners with severely degraded, darkened, or failing stain that can't be recoated without full removal.
Surfaces & Project Types
- Exterior log walls
- Log siding and timber beams
- Other exterior wood where coating removal is required
Preparation Process
- Surface testing to confirm the right media and pressure
- Containment to manage dust and spent media
- Protection of surrounding areas, glass, and landscaping
Application & Materials
- Controlled blasting to remove failed coating and weathered fiber
- Media and pressure matched to the wood and coating condition
- Wood preserved—only the failing layer is removed
- Cleanup of spent media followed by sanding and brightening
Climate & Durability Considerations
Because blasting is a dry process, it avoids driving moisture into logs that would need days to dry before staining—useful in Colorado's short exterior season.
Service-Specific Benefits
- Strips failed coatings to clean wood
- Dry process avoids water intrusion into logs
- Prepares the surface for proper stain penetration
- Controlled removal preserves sound wood

What Customers Say
"Contracted to stain our 21 year old log cabin. Although the cabin has been well maintained, Derek pointed to some improvements that could make it even better. His team was outstanding. They were focused but responsive and did an unbelievable job of covering everything that we signed up for. Outstanding job, done with a likeable but talented 4 man team and finished in record time of 1 1/2 days. What was amazing is that ALL of the staining was done by brush which is very very rare today and it showed in a glowing example of what a knowledgeable, focused team can deliver on. We will definitely use them again....and again as you must stay on top of the maintenance for real log cabins. Thank you Mountain Man Painting"
— Charles Whipple"Great experience!! Our deck needed serious help. Derek shored up loose wooden planks and did a bang up job with the paint. They also repaired water damage on a cinder block wall and painted it. Everything looks so much better. They do excellent work. They put all the furniture back afterwards. I am grateful to have them help care for our cabin."
