Log and wood-sided homes have natural enemies in the sun, wind and bugs. To prevent expensive log replacement and restoration, regular maintenance is required, no matter if it’s a new construction project or one that’s been standing for years.
An inspection of your home should be done annually. When looking over your home, be sure to take notes so you can refer to them later if or when problems should arise. And be certain to get in the difficult areas, where bugs may become a problem or places where water leaks may be possible. Early detection is the key to inexpensive repair.
Your home should be cleaned and stained periodically, especially on the south-facing side of your home. Regular touch-ups can extend the life of your existing stain many years.
Decks and other horizontal surfaces, cedar and log siding as well as cedar shakes should be cleaned and sealed regularly. We can provide products to service these items or our expert staff can treat them for you.
If preferred, The Log Doctor can set up a recurring schedule to inspect your home and make suggestions about upkeep. Ongoing maintenance could save you thousands of dollars in repairs down the road.
