Log Home Maintenance



With proper maintenance, your log home can look fantastic for years to come! We use log home care products designed to preserve and protect your home and keep it looking like new. Our crews are specially trained to apply these products. Our maintenance service begins with a visit to your home. Here, we will inspect the condition of the log wall material to determine the type of care is needed. After close examination, we will work with you to develop a plan for what products are to be used and who will handle their application. The services that we offer include the following:

• Cleaning and restoring logs
• Applying wood preservatives
• Applying stains and finishes
• Caulking and chinking
• Repairing damaged logs

Whether you log home is newly constructed or seasoned for many years, we will work with you to develop a program for treating the logs to maintain their rustic beauty and structural integrity.

The homes pictured below show two before and after examples of corn cob cleaning.

Before Corn Blasting A dark, solid stain covered this log home. We were asked to remove the stain and replace it with a more natural, semi-transparent stain.	After Corn Blasting Corn cob cleaning proved an effective way to remove the old stain and give the logs a fresh start. From here, a wood preservative can be applied followed by any shade of stain.
Before Corn Blasting This log home had become darker through natural aging. The black streaks created by exposure to the sun and rain give the logs an almost burnt look.	After Corn Blasting We were able to remove all of the dark and streaky features using the corn cleaning method. The natural look achieved is much more pleasing and will greatly improve the overall look of the house.
