History
 |
Based out of Cawston, British Columbia, Canada, Franklin Industries Inc. is an industry-leading expert in timber frame and log home restoration.
Company founder Chris Franklin has extensive experience as an industrial painter, working on bridges and other large industrial structures. Recognizing the need for professional, knowledgeable service and maintenance providers in the timber frame and log home restoration industry, Franklin and his partners were able to transfer their significant skills, experience and professionalism to a sector that lacked qualified experts.
Keeping with their industrial background, Franklin and partners ensure all Franklin Industries employees are fully trained and ticketed journeyman coating and surface preparation specialists.
As well, to ensure clients are protected, all Franklin Industries workers are fully covered by liability insurance and Worksafe (WCB). Each work crew has first-aid trained members for client peace of mind and jobsite safety.
During and after every project Franklin Industries does a full environmental clean up. Franklin Industries crews also follow environmentally friendly practices and, whenever possible, use environmentally-friendly and ecologically-sound materials and practices.
Franklin Industries has a similar mindset for each product: The best for your needs and for the environment.
While Franklin Industries is based in British Columbia, they have clients all over North America and will travel anywhere to aide in completion of a project. Whether it is a restoration or a new construction Franklin Industries has the expertise in diagnosing project and client needs and providing a competitive price based on quality workmanship.
Franklin Industries specialize in:
- Chinking: Franklin Industries uses high quality acrylic latex and polyurethane chinking material with other traditional or compatible products depending on particular restoration needs to seal up any cracks or holes.
- Staining and fine finishes: When possible, Franklin Industries uses water-born products that are environmentally friendly coatings and are low VOC compliant. However, we will also use many other fine finishing products such as spar varnish, Danish oil, tung oil, teak oil, lacquers, polyurethanes and others. The goal is to attain beauty and most importantly, longevity from your finish.
- Restorations: Franklin Industries will restore your floors, decks, windows, doors and ceilings, focusing on rot, mildew and corrosion inhibition and removal.
