From first call to final walkthrough — here is what to expect.
Detailed inspection of all log surfaces for rot, insect damage, checking, and finish failure. Moisture readings taken to identify problem areas.
Corn cob or walnut shell media blasting to remove old finish down to bare wood. Gentler than sandblasting, preserving the natural log texture.
Borate treatment for insect prevention, epoxy consolidation of soft spots, and new chinking/caulking where needed. Gaps sealed against air infiltration.
Two coats of premium log home stain applied by brush for maximum penetration, followed by UV-resistant topcoat on sun-exposed walls.
Real before-and-after log home restoration projects completed for homeowners in Lyon Township and surrounding Oakland County communities.

Cedar surfaces cleaned, repaired, and restained — including replacement of 40+ damaged shakes before staining.
Most log homes in Michigan need restaining every 3–5 years on sun-exposed walls and every 5–7 years on shaded walls. Regular maintenance prevents costly full restorations.
Media blasting uses ground corn cob or walnut shells propelled by air to strip old finish from logs. It's gentler than sandblasting and won't damage the wood grain.
Minor rot can be consolidated with epoxy. Severely rotted sections may need log replacement or splicing. A thorough assessment determines the best approach.
