Expert Log Home Restoration Services
Log homes require specialized care to maintain their strength and appearance over time. Exposure to sunlight, moisture, pests, and seasonal weather changes can cause wear and tear, leading to fading, cracking, and gaps between logs. Without proper maintenance, log homes can lose both their visual appeal and structural integrity.
Our log home restoration process helps homeowners protect their investment while preserving the character of their property. Whether you're looking to refresh the appearance of your log home, seal drafts, or repair damage, we provide sandblasting, chinking, and staining to bring your home back to life.
Our Log Home Restoration Process
We take a comprehensive approach to log home restoration, confirming every stage of the process is handled with precision and care.
01.
Media Blasting: Removing Old Stains and Weathered Finishes
Over time, log homes accumulate layers of old stain, dirt, and sun damage that can lead to uneven color and reduced protection. We use a range of media blasting techniques—including traditional sandblasting and corn cob blasting—to safely strip away these layers and bring out the natural beauty of your logs. Corn cob media is 100% eco-friendly, making it an excellent choice for preserving both your home and the surrounding environment.
Media blasting not only removes buildup but also prepares the logs for new treatments. A clean, properly prepped surface allows stains and sealants to absorb more effectively, resulting in a smoother, longer-lasting finish.
02.
Chinking: Sealing Gaps and Improving Energy Efficiency
As logs naturally expand and contract over time, small gaps can form between them, allowing air drafts, moisture, and pests to enter. This can lead to heat loss in winter and increased cooling costs in summer.
Our chinking services create a tight, flexible seal between logs, preventing leaks and improving insulation. This helps keep your home comfortable year-round while also preventing water damage that could lead to wood rot or structural issues.
03.
Staining: Protecting and Preserving the Wood
Staining is the final step in log home restoration, providing protection against UV rays, moisture, and insects while enhancing the wood’s natural color. We offer a variety of stain options, from clear protective coats that highlight the wood’s grain to rich, deep finishes that add character.
Proper staining not only improves the appearance of your log home but also extends the life of the wood, reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
