Log Home Maintenance

What is the key to log home maintenance? Inspection! You want to know every aspect of your home and identify areas that are more troublesome than others. Your goal is to discover why a problem may be occurring so that you can correct it and not just treat the symptom.

Log Home Staining & Stains for logs

Although this is the third application step in the maintenance process, two homework items should have been accomplished much earlier: researching compatibility of the new stain to the existing stain on your home and to chinking and caulking, and color testing liquid samples of the colors that you are considering on an inconspicuous part of your home. You really don’t want to stall your project now making these decisions, especially once you have the logs clean, preserved and ready for stain.

The best way to address the compatibility issue is to call the manufacturer of the stain you are considering and ask them for assistance. You will be asked to provide the name of the stain, the color, and the manufacturer of the existing stain on your home. Contrary to popular thought, not all oil-based stains for logs are compatible with one another; the same is true of latex-based stains.
