Log Home Restoration Questions — Waterford, MI
How often does a log home need restaining?
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.
What is media blasting?
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.
Can rotted logs be repaired without replacement?
Minor rot can be consolidated with epoxy. Severely rotted sections may need log replacement or splicing. A thorough assessment determines the best approach.
