A Stunning Cedar Revival with Resene Woodsman! This Auckland home had lost its cedar glow, with weathered, greying cladding in need of attention. We carried out a professional cedar wash and applied Resene Woodsman stain to bring out the timber’s natural grain. The transformation was dramatic — rich, warm tones now give the home a refreshed, high-end finish that’s both beautiful and protected. Another great example of how expert cedar maintenance can breathe new life into your exterior.
