Stains And Finishes
We feel the importance of applying quality log home finishes to your investment cannot be emphasized strongly enough. Water and UV Rays will destroy the structural integrity of your log home if left unfinished. The average log home buyer will spend many hours discussing wood species and home design but are sometimes unsure about the products available.
Log Home Repair and Restoration Services is committed to giving special attention to research of a variety of preservatives, stains and top coats available in the log home industry today. Because our company believes in protecting your log home we will work with you to establish the best products for your log home while taking into consideration factors such as log species, moisture content and geological location.
Finishes are available in water based and oil based finishes. Oil based finishes are deep penetrating stains that soak deep into the wood’s fibers and water based stains coat the exterior surface of the logs. Most homeowners chose a clear transparent stain, a semi transparent stain, semi solid transparent stain or a solid stain. We do not recommend a clear stain but recommend a stain with the pigment to offer your home protection from the UV rays.
In order to professionally apply stains and finishes to your log home, we properly clean the log surfaces and first apply a borate treatment to your logs. During the staining process, we also offer stain additives such as mildewcides and insecticides to assist with problematic issues such as high humidity and insects.
Log Home Repair and Restoration Services will assist you in obtaining the right finish and right look for your log home .We can apply the finishes, help you with the application procedures needed to apply it yourself and assist you with purchasing the appropriate products.
