TRANSFORMATION:  THE FIVE STEP PROCESS

LOG HOME RESTORATION BEFORE MEDIA BLASTING

It Starts With the Prep

To give you that perfect result, extreme care must be put into preparing the logs.  Our craftsman have each restored hundreds of thousands of feet of wood just like yours, and you can trust us to strip your home properly the first time.   We have three methods that we use for prep, but more often than not, we use a combination of these three methods:  media blasting, chemical stripping, and sanding.  We will discuss each method with you before giving our expert recommendation on your unique project.

Preserving the Wood: Do It Once, Do It Right

Nothing is more important to the safety of your family than the structural integrity of your logs.  And nobody takes this more seriously than 888-LOG-GUYS.   We have one chance to apply our preservatives to the wood — when the wood is bare and without stain.  But before we apply these preservatives, we must first wash the house to rinse off all dust and sanitize the surface.  While others might skip an invisible step like this, we are fanatical about only offering the best to our clients.  Once the house is sanitized, we apply the preservatives to a deep saturation.  This step is vital, because your family matters to us.

Sealing Your Home: Your Log Home Makeover Starts to Come Together!

The mortal enemy of a log home is water.  There is no better way that we can keep the water, cold air, and insects out of your log home than by properly sealing it with either chinking or Energy Seal.  And what we’ve found our clients really like about this service is that it only needs to be done once!  But there is also no service that can be more costly when done incorrectly than the sealant installation.   Poorly installed sealant will lead to log rot, and that is why it is imperative that you trust this service to 888-LOG-GUYS today!  Save your time and money and let us help you get rid of those pesky water leaks, air drafts, and insect problems.

The Decks: Bringing It All Together

Often times the decks, porch ceilings, rails, and stair cases have more wood that the actual home itself!  And nothing will pull it all together more nicely than refinished decks.  We strip them of their failed stain back to bare wood, and depending on the plan you select, we may sand them prior to applying the best deck stain on the market.  I like to stain the decks a color that is just a shade different than the house color to make it all look interesting.  How about you?  What color would you want your decks to be?

Staining Your Home: The Warm Beauty of Natural Wood

The lasting impression that we will leave you with is the subtle, glowing, amber hue of a well-executed stain job.  Whether you choose a light golden oak color, a rich mahogany tone, or an earthy walnut effect, this will be the step that finally makes this your home.   Which of those color ideas resonated with you?  What color do you envision seeing on a snowy day?  Can you picture which color would look just perfect on your home when the spring flowers are blooming all around your house?  For most people, a specific color comes to mind.  We are passionate about giving that to you.  After all, this final impression is what will define your special log home.
