Choosing the Best Maintenance Plan For Your Log Home.

We’re here to help you choose the best maintenance plan for your log home.

Everyone knows that a $30 oil change two or three times a year beats a $2,000 mechanic’s bill or a $5,000 new engine (eek!). Similarly, creating a proper routine maintenance plan for your log home will keep it looking beautiful and help prevent unnecessary and costly repairs. In this month’s Here to Help!, we’ll walk you through a proper maintenance plan you can implement this month before the warm days of summer slip away.

Keeping your log home beautiful and protected is a big deal. You’ve invested too much to skimp when it comes to maintenance. Consistent maintenance inspections and routine reapplication of stain or clear coats where needed, when needed, are the key to keeping your dream log home, well, dreamy.

With the right tools and a “git ‘er done!” attitude, a couple of weekends a year are all it takes and can mean the difference between a few days (and fewer dollars) or an expensive headache. So, sit back, plan your maintenance, and get on with life. We’re “Here to help!”
