Log Home Inspections

Are You Considering The Purchase Of A Log Home or Cabin in North Carolina?

There is no doubt that log homes make for beautiful places to live.  The natural, rustic beauty of a log home is something very few will give up once they've lived in one.  Because they are made with logs (a natural product) log homes can be very susceptible to the elements and also insects which can cause damage to your home and accelerate it's deterioration.

WoodTeks LLC is a log home refinishing and restoration specialist based out of North Carolina and serving South Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, and Virginia.  One of the services we offer that has become quite popular is our thorough log home or log cabin inspections.  We offer our inspections for either prospective log home buyers or people who may have an older log home they've lived in for many years or possibly a vacation home that isn't visited frequently.  Our log home inspections can let you know of any trouble areas, structural issues, and preventative maintenance that should be done.

With a WoodTeks LLC log home inspection you can have the peace of mind knowing that the professionals have gone through the home's construction and condition with a fine tooth comb.  Our log home refinishing experts know exactly what to look for and where to look for it when dealing with log homes.

What Are We Looking For With a Log Home Inspection?

One of the first things we are looking for is the overall condition of the logs themselves.  Have they been cleaned before?  Have they been refinished before and with what type of finish?  We are also on the lookout for any signs of insect infestations or rot that might be occurring within some of the logs.  Repairing a log home is not as easy as cutting out some affected drywall and replacing it.  Every log in your homes structure plays an important role and any repair or replacement work must be completed by skilled professionals.

Log Home Inspections and Maintenance

We understand that consumers are naturally concerned about the condition of a log home and probably even more concerned about the maintenance to preserve it.  While inspecting your log home (or log home you might be going to buy) we will also talk about recommended maintenance for the home, what should be getting done and how often.  Log structures last a very long time when properly cared for. WoodTeks LLC works on log homes and cabins everyday.  If you need to have a log home or cabin inspected in the North Carolina area then please give us a call today and we'll get right back to you.

*Please note that we are not licensed home inspectors. For potential buyers we first recommend that a licensed inspector look at the house. If you desire, we can gladly schedule a time to come out and inspect the house afterwards.

If you’d like to receive an estimate to inspect your log home or cabin then please give us a call (336) 488-3277 or send us an email through our contact form today!

Log Home Inspections

When conducting detailed log home inspections, WoodTeks LLC leverages its specialized knowledge of log homes and timber structures to provide invaluable insights, particularly beneficial for potential buyers or vacation home owners who require expert eyes to monitor their properties. While we still emphasize the importance of a comprehensive home inspection by a licensed professional, our expertise in log homes allows us to identify specific issues that might be overlooked by general inspectors.

Here’s a detailed list of what we focus on during our log home inspections:

Log Condition:

Examining the logs for signs of decay, rot, or damage from insects such as termites, carpenter ants, and wood-boring beetles. This includes looking for soft spots, cracks, and holes that could indicate underlying problems.

Moisture Levels:

Measuring moisture levels in the wood to identify areas of concern. Excessive moisture can lead to rot and decay, making this a critical aspect of the inspection.

Sealant and Chinking Integrity:

Checking the condition of the sealant and chinking to ensure they are effectively sealing gaps between logs, around windows, and doors to prevent air and water infiltration.

Staining and Finishing:

Evaluating the condition of the exterior stain and finish for signs of wear, fading, or failure. Proper maintenance of the stain and finish is crucial for protecting the logs from UV damage and moisture.

Pest Infestation:

Looking for evidence of pest infestations, not only in the logs but also in the surrounding property. Identifying signs of pests early can prevent significant damage.

Interior Inspection:

Examining the interior of the log home for any signs of water damage, rot, or insect damage. This includes inspecting ceilings, walls, and floors for any abnormalities.

Our detailed log home inspections are designed to give potential buyers and vacation home owners peace of mind by identifying any issues that could impact the home's value, safety, and durability. With our intricate knowledge of log homes and timber structures, WoodTeks LLC provides an extra layer of insight, ensuring your log home remains a cherished and secure investment.

We couldn’t be more pleased with the results of our log cabin restoration. Woodteks gave us an honest evaluation and a very fair price. The team is dedicated, professional, hard working, courteous, and knowledgeable. They took great pains to keep the job site clean. They finished on time, adjusted their schedule around rain delays, and additional unexpected repairs. We definitely recommend their service and plan to welcome them back when we do more preventative maintenance.

Dave and Matt with WoodTeks did an excellent job replacing damaged logs and deck rails, caulking, and staining the whole house and deck rails and pillars. I couldn’t have asked for a nicer crew. You can tell that they’ve been doing this for a good while and they know their materials and their trade well! I would highly recommend them for any log home needs! Thank you, Jason!

Woodteks did a great job replacing rotten logs in my family’s 50 year old log home. Jason responded promptly to my initial inquiry and communicated with us throughout the entire process. David and his crew did amazing craftsmanship on the replacement logs. The crew stayed in the home while work was done and left it clean and clearly cared for. They sent photo updates throughout the process which I greatly appreciated as we were not in town to see for ourselves. I highly recommend them for any log home restoration.

The guys at WoodTeks are awesome! They do excellent work, are kind & polite, clean up after themselves, and bend over backwards for their customers. After work on my log cabin was completed, a tree was blown down and damaged the roof. They came the next day and tarped the roof before rain had damaged the contents. Thank you, WoodTeks!!!

We recently purchased a log home built in the 80's that was not maintained properly. Jason and his crew replaced logs, media blasted to get rid of old, worn wood, sealed and stained the home. The home was much more efficient this winter and the logs look so refreshed with the new stain. Our home looks as close to new as it could thanks to WoodTeks.

We were looking for someone to strip and stain our log home and we came upon Woodteks. Jason and his crew did a fantastic job. They are very professional. We could not be more pleased with the final outcome. Jason met with us and explained the entire process completely. The logs were stripped and cleaned then our whole house was stained. We had a bad experience once before with a different company's stain crew but Jason's crew did a phenomenal job. No streaks or runs. Very happy that we found them! We would recommend them to anyone who is wanting a professional job and they cleaned up well. We absolutely love the final product.
