“We hired Mark without having met him or having seen his work, so it was a bit of a leap of faith. To our delight, Mark did a fantastic job! We were thrilled with his work, his attitude, work ethic and how he kept the work site clean. The end result was terrific! He did a partial restoration, and it turned out beautifully. The logs looked great and still do. Our vacation overlapped a few days while Mark was working and we got a chance to know him a bit. We really enjoyed having him stay with us – he’s professional, personable and we’d highly recommend him. Bottom line is that we were really happy with his work and we’d hire him again in a heartbeat. Thanks again, Mark!"
“We left our custom log home to be stripped and restained in Mark’s more that capable hands and where blown away by the care he put forth to bring our Western Red Cedar logs back to life. I would recommend his work to anyone who wanted a great job done without any concerns, as I live 300kms away from the summer home, and he completed his craft without any supervision. It was truly a job done to the highest standards. Good job, Mark!”
VI Kings recently did an amazing restoration and staining of the exterior of our new home on the Sunshine Coast in B.C. The house is a Pan-Abode construction, built in 1976. The weathered exterior had been neglected for years, and any re-staining had been done with a bad medley of products, mostly linseed oil, which had left a lot of uneven coverage – thick and gummy in some areas, and almost non-existent in others. The house needed work!
Mark from VI Kings kindly made the trip out to do an estimate for us, and was extremely precise and fair with that. He laid out our options clearly, and we decided to hire him to grind the log ends smooth, then to sandblast the house exterior in order to bring it back to the original grain, and finally to re-stain it with Timber Pro products.
We could not be happier with the results! Beautiful work. And Mark and his helper (who on this job happened to be his awesome Dad, Leroy!) did the job with an efficiency, skill and integrity that is rare to find. And, it was just really nice to have them around! Super nice people. A lot of love and care goes into the work that VI Kings does. Thanks so much, Mark.
