Our Services

Cleaning & Softwashing

We utilize gentle softwashing techniques to safely remove organic buildup (such as mold, mildew, and dirt) without damaging the wood. This essential service prevents organic growth that can damage finishes and lead to long-term deterioration.

Media Blasting

To properly prepare the wood surface for restoration, we use media blasting to strip away old or failing stains and sealants. This process creates a clean, even base that allows for optimal adhesion of new coatings.

Log Repair

Logs can develop cracks, rot, or damage from moisture and environmental exposure. Our expert repair and replacement services restore the structural strength and visual consistency of affected areas while preventing further decay.

Sealants & Chinking

To improve insulation and protection, we apply professional-grade sealants and chinking. This step seals gaps between logs to prevent air leaks, water infiltration, and pest entry, all while allowing the home to naturally breathe and move.

Staining & New Coatings Application

We utilize premium Perma-Chink systems, providing high-quality coatings that offer UV resistance, moisture protection, and long-lasting color. This flexible, breathable finish adapts to seasonal wood movement without cracking or peeling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Log cabins should typically be cleaned annually to remove dirt, mold, and mildew buildup that can break down protective finishes. A full inspection is also recommended each year to identify early signs of wear, allowing for timely maintenance before larger issues develop.

Media blasting is a method for removing old or deteriorating finishes from log surfaces. It prepares the wood for new coatings by creating a clean and even surface, which is essential for proper adhesion and long-lasting results.

The lifespan of stains and coatings depends on product quality, exposure to the elements, and maintenance practices. High-quality systems like Permachink can last several years, but regular cleaning and inspections are key to maximizing their performance.

Project timelines vary based on the size of the home and the extent of restoration required. Smaller maintenance jobs may take a few days, while full restorations involving blasting, repairs, and refinishing can take several days to a few weeks.
