Wood & Timber

Delicate restoration of historic wood and fire damage recovery without sanding.

When a deadline, deal, or safety situation is on the line, RayVault responds fast.

Mobile, chemical-free laser cleaning for mold, graffiti, oil spills, and biohazard decontamination — priority response throughout Portland and the Pacific Northwest.

The Only Method That Respects the Wood

Aggressive sanding erases historic saw marks. Chemicals raise grain and discolor. Power washing promotes mold. Laser removes only the unwanted layer — paint, varnish, char, mold — while leaving all original character intact.

Wood & Timber Applications

We handle paint and varnish removal from siding and trim, fire char removal, mold elimination, refinishing prep, graffiti removal, and gentle cleaning of carved millwork. We work with preservationists, woodworkers, timber framers, and home restorers throughout Portland.

What Homeowners & Preservationists Ask About Laser Wood Cleaning

Will laser cleaning raise the wood grain or cause discoloration?

No. The process occurs at the surface only — grain patterns, color, and historic saw marks are fully preserved.

Can laser cleaning remove mold from wood without spreading spores?

Is laser cleaning appropriate for soft or delicate historic wood species?

Trauma Scene & Biohazard Surface Decontamination

We understand that some situations go beyond standard cleaning. Our laser ablation process fully decontaminates surfaces affected by trauma or biohazard events — including biological material — at both the surface and pore level, without chemicals, without cross-contamination risk, and without leaving residue. We respond with discretion, professionalism, and genuine care for everyone involved.

Trauma Scene Decontamination

When a traumatic event has occurred, surfaces need more than cleaning — they need full decontamination. We remove biological contamination from concrete, wood, metal, and masonry thoroughly and without chemical residue, so the space can be restored properly.

Biohazard Surface Treatment

For surfaces requiring certified-level decontamination, our laser process vaporizes hazardous biological material at the surface and within porous substrates — no liquid waste, no chemical introduction, no residue left behind.

Discreet & Documented Response

We work quietly, respectfully, and on your timeline. Unmarked vehicle options are available, and we provide post-treatment documentation for insurance, legal, or compliance needs as required.
