Log Home Maintenance

Posted by admin on Apr 26, 2010

When we work at home shows, we expect that just about all the people that stop and talk to us about building a log home, will ask something like…’what is the maintenance on a log home?’ Well, like anything, that’s an ambiguous question but cutting to the chase here’s the deal. The better the stain and sealant you buy(i.e.-NOT the cheap bottom shelf variety) the longer it will last. We use a product that ensures when you are ‘maintaining’ your home, that the subsequent finish coats are NOT staining, but only sealing. You need to get to know the products available. If you buy cheap, the maintenance cycle will be short-2-4 years. If you buy for the long haul, and get a good stain system, you will add longevity to the home’s exterior, {3-5 years, maybe 6 years depending on the direction your home faces, sun exposure, shade etc.} hence reducing the overall number of times you have to seal the home’s exterior, which will actually SAVE you money over the long haul. That is our opinion and we believe that if you pay for quality now, you will save money in the future.
