A busy season of seminars is in store for Sashco as it prepares for its 12th year of Zero Failures Wood Finishing Seminars in December. In 1999, Zero Failures was established to help log, and wood home finishers increase revenue and credibility while reducing failures.

On August 18th, 2011, Sashco was proud to partner with The Log and Timber Home Show to present an educational webinar about choosing the best stain for log and wood homes.

Sashco products rise to the “challenge” on HGTV series Designer’s Challenge.
Sashco made our HGTV debut in July. The hit HGTV series, Designer’s Challenge gives selected homeowners an opportunity to have a room in their home remodeled.
Three hopeful designers present their design ideas, but only one is selected by the homeowner to work their magic! Evergreen, Colorado residents Ron Rossi and Catherine Woods, and local designer Andrea Schumacher were given just that opportunity. The home’s living and dining rooms were beautifully transformed to reflect the family’s desire for comfortable form and practical function. Amongst of the living rooms charming features are lovely, large, log beams that expand across the width of the high ceilings.
Sashco products including Log Jam, Log Builder, Brushover and Symphony were applied to the logs to ensure both an attractive finish, and lasting performance that would extend the life of the extensive remodel. Sashco’s Vice President and Technical Director Wayne Summons assisted with the application process and commented that, “The rooms were beautifully remodeled and we were thrilled to offer our products for the finishing touches that matched the high quality of the rest of the project.”

Meet Mark. Mark is a man’s-man just like you. He works hard in the field. He does his best to make his customers happy. He uses the best products. Loves his wife and a chainsaw – you get the picture. So, what’s the difference between you and Mark? Mark won’t lose a penny on wasted product, delayed projects, or lost jobs this season. Why? Because Mark discovered Flex Tint from Sashco.We’ll let him tell you about it in his own words!
Mark, you mentioned that you recently encountered a scenario where you ran out of product and it affected a job, big time? Can you tell us about that?
“Nightmare scenario. We ran 1-gallon short of Capture stain at a job that was 5-hours away from our yard. Literally, 1 gallon! There were no distributors within a 5-hour radius. I had to overnight a 5-gallon bucket from Denver at the cost of $183.00 shipping, plus the actual price of product to avoid a 10-hour round trip that would have cost me at least a thousand bucks, two guys, two motel rooms, meals, all because we were ONE flippin’ gallon short. Good times (insert eye roll). That’s why Flex Tint is like money in my pocket. Now, when this happens, I’m ready. I simply take an extra bucket or two of neutral Capture stain as insurance and mix as needed. Done! Literally no delay.”
Has there been a time when you’ve lost money because a client changed their mind about the color?
“Oh I’ve got a story for you about that! 9,000 sq ft job for a VERY high-end client (her home is a museum). She chose her colors and signed the contract accordingly. Yep, you know where this is heading. As we were finishing the first coat, she decided she would much rather go as light as possible (aspirin anyone?). Rather than disappointing a good client, we shut down, ordered eight additional buckets of stain to complete the job, and counted dollar signs as we waited. Fast forward through a host of complications that resulted in a three-week (three!) delay. A delay that cost me nearly $30,000 in income. Any guy out here knows how limited our season is. That was a very real loss of production. Painful. Flex Tint to the rescue again! We would have simply mixed a batch of the appropriate color and kept working. I mean, are you kidding me? That’s a game-changer!”
If you could give someone new to the industry one piece of advice learned from these examples, what would it be?
“I’ll use the museum house story because it has a happy ending and a valuable lesson! Happy ending – we signed $250,000 in work for her next year. Valuable lesson? What started as a delay in getting just enough product to finish her house could have cost us $250,000 in additional work. That alone makes Flex Tint VERY important to me. My advice is to have a trailer stocked with neutral Capture (or Transformation Stain) and Flex Tint cartridges. The neutral is your insurance policy, so have good coverage. Stock up! No harm, no foul by having too much. You can always use it. Don’t learn the hard, expensive way. Flex Tint will literally keep you from throwing away money.”

Log Home Preservatives
When you apply some type of wood preservative to your log home is like taking out an inexpensive insurance policy.
These preservatives are mostly borate-based and designed to protect your wood from rot and wood-ingesting insects. Adding this affordable step at the beginning can save you many headaches down the road, including the time and money it costs to replace damaged wood. There are two main types of whole-home preservatives on the market: borate-based powders that are mixed with water and sprayed on your home (like Tim-bor®) and borate-based products in a glycol formula that are applied directly out of the container. Independent research proves that there is no difference in penetration between borate powders that are mixed with water and their glycol counterparts, but glycol preservatives are more expensive. Why pay more for the same protection?
