Log home restoration & protection · Western NC
Bring your log home back, and keep it that way.
Weathered, gray, or peeling logs are not a lost cause. The right cleaning, preparation, and penetrating stain can restore a log home and protect it for years against UV, rain, and mountain humidity.
Log homes are everywhere in the mountains around Asheville, and most of them are overdue. A log exterior is exposed wood; without a maintained finish it grays, checks, and lets water in. We clean, brighten, remove failed coatings, and apply stains and clear coats formulated for logs.
We're honest about scope. Cleaning, stain removal, staining, sealing, and ongoing maintenance are our core log home services. Structural log replacement, chinking, and media blasting are coordinated through qualified specialist partners when a project calls for them, and we'll tell you up front.

Common questions
How often should a log home be stained?
Most log homes in Western NC need a maintenance coat every 3 to 5 years, sooner on sun-facing walls. Catching it early is far less expensive than a full restoration.
How long does log home stain last?
A quality penetrating stain, properly applied over clean prepared wood, protects for 3 to 5 years before a maintenance coat; full restoration cycles run longer. Exposure and overhangs make the biggest difference.
What causes log home finishes to fail?
UV breaks down the finish, water gets behind it, and mildew grows underneath. Thin coats, poor prep, and painting over mill glaze are the usual culprits.
Do you do chinking and log repair?
We coordinate chinking, rot repair, and log replacement with trusted specialists so your project is handled end to end.
