How to Maintain Your Log Home in the Summer!!

Warmer Weather is finally here!

Sometimes it feels like summer is not going to show up, but then the weather quickly changes. Now is the prime time of year for conducting routine inspections on your log homes and cabins to ensure they’re adequately shielded from the elements. While numerous maintenance checklists exist, I’ll refrain from delving into specifics. However, it’s crucial to annually inspect key components of your home, including the roof, chimney, eaves, walls, foundations, decks, railings, and patios. Our attention centers on safeguarding your logs and wood products to guarantee they’re adequately protected. Should any maintenance be necessary, our array of stains, sealers, finishes, accessories, and repair products stands ready to meet your needs.

Not sure what to do?

If you find something that needs attention, now is a good time to reach out to an expert to help you in determining what should be done to address any issues that you find. If you need help, even to do the inspection or finding an expert, please give us a call or send us an email requesting assistance.  Putting issues off until some other time can cost you much more down the road as the repairs become costlier the longer you wait.

Ideally, your exterior log walls would retain their surface integrity, requiring only a straightforward cleaning. However, if the water bead test indicates the necessity for a maintenance coat to bolster protection over the next few years, feel free to reach out to us or visit our shop for assistance. We have high quality products, such as PermaChink’s Lifeline, Weatherall’s UV Guard or Weatherall’s SuSTAIN Oil product lines, for all situations large and small.

If the home has not been maintained or the wall services are just weather worn, it might be time to start over with bringing your logs back to life. This usually requires removing the surface material to get to good wood, and putting a fresh coat of stain on your logs to give them the protection they need.

In either case, whether it be a simple maintenance coat or repair, or something more involved, we are here to help in any way we can. The products we sell are the best in the industry and readily available. Use Coupon Code 24Summer10 to get 10% Off your first purchase of the year.

 Thanks, and enjoy your Summer!
