Mold, mildew, water damage and insect infestation can be the obvious enemies to your log home or cabin. A more overlooked source of deterioration comes from overhead. Direct sunlight produces ultra violet rays that rapidly break down the cells of wood. This results in discoloration into a grey and even black hue. If this goes untreated then over a period of time the surface of the wood will begin to split and crack allowing the other enemies of moisture and insects to invade more easily. A great reason to have the skilled professionals refinish your home or cabin’s exterior with a strong, fresh coat of stain and varnish. Modern log refinishing products protect the surface of your log home from ultra violet rays just as a sunscreen protects your skin.
A Wise Investment
Your log home is a large investment that you want to last for generations to come. To keep your palace pristine, invest in the professional services to inspect, clean, restore, or refinish.
Log Home Refinishing & Staining
The beauty of wood, with its swirling grains and pleasant textures, is what draws thousands of people to purchase or build log homes. Wood is extremely durable, highly valued and very versatile. However, once the protective bark is removed, another source of protection is needed to keep it looking good indefinitely. Log home staining and varnishing is the preferred method of adding that protective barrier because it allows the natural grains and textures to remain visible. However, after time natural elements break down the barrier or dingy the view of the wood’s natural beauty. If deterioration is allowed to make its way to the raw material, moisture and insects will invade the logs and cause severe damage.
Refinishing and painting are two things I must admit, I am awful at! I live in North Carolina so seeing that you guys specialize in this area is fantastic! I will be in touch soon for some work. My home is a bit “aged” to say the least. I inherited it and it needs some work. I know if I don’t get it done sooner than later, it will just turn in to some bigger damages. Thanks for this information.
Hello! I see that you guys service my area, I live in Pennsylvania. My fiance’s father is going to be giving us his winter cabin home to have as our first home and we both don’t know anything about maintaining it! We will likely be in touch very soon just to get everything updated and refinished. How often does it need to be cleaned and is this a service you offer as well?
