“…cycles of wet and dry, swelling and shrinking, cause wood to warp, split, cup and crack. All of these
conditions lead to shortened wood life and expensive repairs or replacement without proper care.”
Log exteriors, cedar roofs, and wood decks add dramatically to the beauty and value of your home. Replacing a wood deck or cedar roof can easily cost $30,000. That’s why it makes dollars and sense to protect your investment in quality exterior wood.
Log Home Care: We can all attest to a log home’s beauty. But like no other homes built today they are susceptible to the elements. And when a log home is neglected or improperly cared for the outcome can be devastating. Caulking, chinking, borate treatments, stains, sealers backer rod, buffing, sanding, re-facing, checks, cracks, splits - a lot of knowledge is needed to care for a log home. Not unlike other exterior wood surfaces protection is the key.
Routine maintenance is important for protecting the exterior of your home. Over time, dirt, grime, mold and algae begin to collect on exterior surfaces. Properly cleaning the exterior of a house makes your home look better and removes the base for molds and algae to grow.
