Welcome

The first step in the project is a thorough inspection of the interior and exterior logs to determine the scope of repair or maintenance needed.  We check for any damage from weather or pests that will have to be addressed as we begin the process of restoration.

Any logs or structural aspects that are weakened or damaged will need to be addressed.  Our log experts will repair areas as needed, blending the new work into the existing structure, making it hard to detect areas that were modified.

If older stain removal is necessary, we use different media blasting techniques to strip and ready the logs.  This process is done "dry", using abrasive materials such as sand or corn media to safely remove old stain.

After stain removal, our experts will sand the logs using a variety of tools and techniques to further prepare the surfaces.  Special attention is shown to rougher areas with wire brushes.  

After sanding, we begin final prep, which includes careful cleaning of the logs and taping all openings such as windows and doors.  We are careful to protect other areas like decks, railings, and other nearby items for the next stage of repair.

The right stain will make your logs look refreshed and new. But stain also can offer the best protection against aging and weathering. We offer many options for staining and sealing that provide the best of both worlds – making your home beautiful while also protecting from the elements.

After the log staining is complete, we attend to any touch ups needed for trim or flashing around doors and windows.  This is an optional step, but addressing these areas in addition to the logs can provide a more holistic refresh to the entire project. 

The final step in the process is addressing the chinking, which provides beauty and functionality in sealing your logs.  Chinking keeps your home insulated from drafts, bad weather, insects, and moisture, in addition to adding that unique look to your log cabin.

While log restoration is our main passion, we have deep experience in custom carpentry design and execution, as well as home remodeling services. If you have a special project in mind, we are always happy to help bring your dreams to life!
