log-home-restoration-chinking Anyone can apply stain to a log home, but not everyone knows the importance or has a solid preparation plan to restore a log home. Detailed preparation will insure that the finish holds up to the changing weather elements and strong ultraviolet rays. Moisture and sunlight are the two greatest threats to wood.

Here are some of the log home preparations you can expect from the crew:

Most contractors will not sand log homes because it is a lot of preparation and a boring job. Sanding is so important because it not only creates a smooth finish, but allows the stain to penetrate more uniformly, have better adhesion, and achieve a more consistent look.
