Damage Control
Mother Nature: A Log Home’s Worst Enemy
For log homeowners, the elements that contribute to the allure of a rustic retreat can also become formidable adversaries. These forces of nature do not merely affect the appearance of your home; they can compromise its structural integrity and your peace of mind.
Water Damage
Rain and snow can become destructive when they penetrate the wood of your home. Moisture damages timber and promotes the growth of mold and mildew, which are hazardous to both your health and the home’s interior.
Sun Damage
Strong UV rays can exploit vulnerabilities in your log home. Over time, this can lead to loosened seals, cracked logs, and a decrease in your home’s energy efficiency and safety.
Insect Infestation
Your log home’s remote setting is the perfect breeding ground for insects like termites, carpenter ants, and beetles. These pests degrade the strength of your logs, compromising your home’s stability without visible signs until substantial damage has occurred.
Log Rot
Log rot occurs when water can sit undisturbed, penetrating the wood and breaking down its fibers, leading to decay. If not addressed promptly, log rot can lead to significant structural failures.
Log Masters’ specialized restoration and maintenance services tackle these and other log home issues. We can explain the science behind these issues and employ modern techniques and treatments that enhance your home’s resilience against these natural elements. Together, we can extend the life of your home and to improve your living experience, safeguarding your investment for generations.
Get Started
Our Log Home Restoration Process
Assess
Log home damage is not always visible to the naked eye, especially if you are not a log home maintenance specialist. Luckily, Log Masters Restorations provides free online estimates or paid in-person service evaluations.
During our initial assessment, we will explore visible signs of damage and the rest of your log home’s exterior. We will request photographs of the damage and may even request additional images or video clips as needed.
Plan
After we complete an online or in-person initial assessment of your home, the Log Masters team will draft a comprehensive log home restoration plan that may include media blasting, log replacement, chinking, and staining.
You will receive a detailed restoration plan with an estimated project cost and expected timeline for completion. Typically, we can develop this plan and send it to you within a few days of completing our evaluation.
Implement
Once you approve Log Masters’ comprehensive log home restoration plan, it’s time to work!
A team of restoration specialists will arrive with everything needed to complete your project. The project manager will discuss the Customer Quality Control List for your project so you have total clarity on the work we will perform. Once complete, your log home will be fully restored to its original charm and beauty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does log home restoration involve?
Typical log home restorations consist of stripping the exterior of previous stains or paints via media blasting or chemical processes. Homes can then be repaired as needed, caulked or chinked, and finally sealed (stained) with proper log home coating products and techniques.
How often should my log home be maintained to prevent major issues?
We recommend yearly washes and visual inspections.
What are the signs that my log home needs immediate attention?
Unstained or grey wood, peeling, flaking, and cracking finishes are signs of failed coatings. Surface mold/mildew/algae/fungus can be signs of log damage. Water leaking during rain or weather, cold drafts, or central air overworking can be signs of caulking/chinking failure.
Can you help add modern amenities to my log home without losing its rustic charm?
Modern technology and design have created many items that can update a rustic space. Changing dated exterior fixtures to timed or motion-sensitive ones or adding smart fixtures and outlets can bring a home into the 21st century. Log Masters is happy to assist with any of these projects.
What treatments do you use to protect log homes from pests and decay?
Before staining, we apply borate to bare wood surfaces as the primary defense against pests and decay. Borate will help keep surface-growing molds and mildews at bay while preventing wood-ingesting insects like termites and carpenter ants.
How do you handle water damage and prevent future issues?
If the water damage is severe enough, rot may be present, which must be cut out and repaired. Keeping up with caulking, chinking, and stain maintenance is always the first defense.
What is the typical cost range for your restoration and maintenance services?
Restoration prices will vary based on the size of the home, landscaping difficulties, the scope of work needed, and the products used. Each home is different. Call for an estimate today!
How long does a typical restoration project take?

How can I prepare my log home for harsh weather conditions?
Being diligent in maintenance, using only premium products designed specifically for log homes, and hiring a qualified and insured professional to perform the work can help prepare your home for many years of whatever Mother Nature has to throw at it!
