The truth is that every single log home in the world is high maintenance. Log home restoration projects usually include stripping or cleaning, repairing any wood that is damaged, chinking, caulking and adding a new finish. Due to stain failure or simply because you might want to change home color, it is quite common that you need to strip your log house. Out of the many different maintenance procedures available, stripping old paint or stain is definitely aggressive, expensive and labor intensive. This makes us tend to neglect the process but you should never do that.

People usually believe that the only thing they need to look at when choosing a log home restoration contractor is money. That is actually not the case. You need to look at everything that is included in the estimate to make sure that you know exactly what will be done. There\’s no point in paying less if it means that not everything will be done. Every single log home has its own needs and they need to be met for the log home restoration to be a real success.

Most people that have a home made out of wood make a really common mistake. They tend to try to do all log home repair alone instead of relying on a professional.
