What is required to maintain my log home?

Living in an elegant log home is a dream come true for many people. Log homes are impressive and their natural beauty is without question. However, there is a certain amount of maintenance required to keep your log home in good condition and looking its very best. Everyday weather like sun and rain, as well as a variety of insects, eventually degrade the appearance and structure of your home. Routine maintenance and professional refinishing are necessary for the upkeep of any log home. Careful attention to the condition of the stain, logs and structure of the home are required.

What finish or stain should I use on my log home?

Over the years we have researched and tested numerous stain products for log homes. We understand the properties of wood, stain formulations and what makes one better than another in certain situations. There are a number of factors to determine which is best for each specific home. We will find out what you are looking for and explain the pros and cons of each type of finish. There is NO one finish that is best! It is extremely important to have whichever stain you choose applied by professionals to maintain the log home’s appearance and protect the wood.

Finally, when deciding on a finish, homeowners must also decide how they want their stain to look. If you want a sheen to the logs, i.e. satin or gloss. We can use a combination stain with a clear coat. With a number of stain options available, our experts are able to help you choose the ideal finish for your home.

Our Log Home Refinishing Process

A high-quality staining job requires a detailed and specific process

What are the steps in refinishing or restoring a log home?

Inspection

We come out and take a look at your log home. We check to see what type of wood was used in constructing your home. We also check for any places of rot(we have master carpenters who can replace anything). Once we look at the wood we then check to see if any previous stain or sealer has been applied to your home. We then get measurements and go over in detail the steps needed to make your home look new again.

Removing Gutter Downspouts and Prep Work

Before we begin the restoration process we remove the gutter downspouts, lights, fans and anything else that needs to be removed in order to refinish all wood that could be exposed to the weather.

Media Blasting

The first step in the restoration process involves using corn cob or recycled crushed glass and a media blaster to remove the old coating, gray UV damaged wood and mildew. This is a dry process and works great on many coatings and grayed wood fibers. This is our most used process.

Buffing, Sanding and Other Prep

This is an additional step, sometimes required, depending on the condition of the logs and the desired finished look to get the right texture on the surface. We will be able to tell you more, with an on-site inspection.

Borate Preservation

Depending on the home and type of finish we may recommend the application of a borate solution to all exterior logs, porches and exterior beams. This is a vital step and one that should only have to be done one time for the life of the house. This is a permanent treatment that is designed to kill wood ingesting insects and to prevent rot. Once the stain is applied it seals in the borate.

What about caulking and chinking?

When restoring or refinishing a log home, caulking and chinking are applied after the stain. Caulking and chinking are flexible textured compounds specially formulated to fill in the spaces between the logs. This helps stop airflow from entering the home, and helps to prevent water and bug damage. Poor chinking or caulking is one of the leading causes of water damage and log rot, which is why it is especially important to have it applied by a professional. Caulking is generally used in joints that are less than 1”. For larger gaps, chinking is used. When applied correctly, caulking and chinking provide essential protection against the elements, insects and other animal intruders. We ONLY use Sashco brand caulking and chinking. Lab results have proven it to be the very best in the log home industry.

What Our Clients Say...

Brady Dugas

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.

WoodTeks LLC is an awesome company. Jason and his crew are really good at what they do. They just recently restored our wood sided home and now it looks like it was just built yesterday! I highly recommend them for anyone that wants their log home or wood sided home restored to look brand new. Jason and crew are not only good at what they do but their personalities and work ethics make it very easy to do business with them. They really care and understand what you want and no job is too big. Dave & Marilyn Collings

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.
