Log homes are beautiful and durable, but logs can succumb to wear and tear from the elements over time. Whether it’s due to rot, insect damage, or simply aging, addressing repairs and replacements quickly is key to preserving your home's beauty and structural integrity. We specialize in log repairs and replacements and will ensure your log home stays safe, functional, and stunning for years to come.

We'll begin with a comprehensive inspection of your log home to identify areas that need attention. This includes checking for rot, cracks, gaps, and any signs of insect damage. By understanding the full extent of the issue, we can provide a customized plan for repair or replacement that best suits your home’s needs.

REPAIRING DAMAGED LOGS

Once we've identified the problem areas, we move on to repairing damaged logs. Depending on the severity of the damage, we use a variety of methods, including:

Wood Epoxy & Patching

For smaller areas of rot or cracks, we use high-quality wood epoxy or filler to restore the strength and appearance of the log.

Partial Log Replacement
If only a section of your log is damaged or deteriorated, we’ll carefully remove and replace just the affected area. Partial replacements are perfect for localized damage and can help extend the life of your home without the need for costly, large-scale work.

Whole Log Replacement
For more extensive damage—whether from rot, structural issues, or pest infestation—we offer whole log replacements. We’ll remove the damaged logs, replace them with custom-cut logs, and ensure that everything is properly sealed and finished. Whole log replacements restore the strength and aesthetic appeal of your home, protecting it for many years to come.

LOG REPLACEMENT

If a log is beyond repair, we carefully replace it with a matching piece of high-quality wood that blends seamlessly with your existing logs. Our replacement logs are selected to match the size, shape, and color of your home’s original logs, preserving both the look and function of your log home.

Sealing & Finishing
After repairs and replacements are made, we treat the new and repaired logs with a protective sealant or finish that shields them from the elements. This ensures that the logs remain resistant to moisture, UV rays, and insects, while also enhancing the natural beauty of the wood.

CHINKING SERVICES

Chinking is an essential part of log home maintenance, helping to seal the gaps between logs, prevent drafts, and protect your home from moisture, insects, and the elements. Whether you’re restoring an old chinking job or applying it for the first time, our chinking services are designed to keep your log home safe, comfortable, and energy-efficient.

Initial Inspection & Assessment
We begin by thoroughly inspecting your log home, checking for gaps, cracks, and areas where chinking may be needed. We'll assess the overall condition of the existing chinking (if applicable), as well as the logs, to identify any potential issues such as water damage or pest infiltration.

Cleaning & Preparation
Before applying new chinking, we carefully clean the joints between the logs to remove dirt, debris, and old, failing chinking. This step ensures that the new chinking adheres properly and forms a tight, long-lasting seal. If necessary, we also treat the wood for moisture or pest concerns before applying the chinking material.

Chinking Application:
Using high-quality, flexible chinking materials designed specifically for log homes, we apply the new chinking to fill the gaps between your logs. Our chinking options come in a range of colors and textures to complement your home’s natural aesthetic while providing a strong, durable seal. We use specialized tools to ensure the chinking is evenly applied, creating a smooth and attractive finish.
