Types Of Log Cabins That We Stain
Real Log Cabins
There’s nothing quite like the allure of a real log cabin. Protecting the original charm and integrity of real log cabins is essential. First, we clean, sand, and inspect for any damage. We use Sashco stains because of its longevity, durability, and resistance to the elements (we both love the sun, but your cabin’s future doesn’t). After we apply four coats of your choice of color, you will be free to enjoy your cabin, worry-free!

Log Siding
Log siding is made of log shaped planks placed on the outside of other building material. We do a quick inspection for the health of the wood, and if any cleaning is needed. We choose a stain that is best for your wood and environment. Regular maintenance is important.

Log cabins are built to be durable in all weather conditions. However, if regular maintenance is neglected, sunshine, rain and other natural weather conditions in your area will wear down the wood so it becomes discolored and eventually leads to rot. With the right stain application, the lifespan of your log cabin is extended, adding a layer of moisture protection and a coating of UV defense.
How Often Do I Need to Stain My Log Cabin?
As experts in the field, we recommend reapplying one layer of stain on top of the outer layer every five years. Additionally, keep an eye on other aspects of the health and quality of your log home, looking for general wear and tear, moss growth, or expanding gaps between logs. Also, consider how much sunlight your log home soaks in and how much inclement weather you’ve had.
Our Log Cabin Home Staining Process
In a few easy steps, our team will ensure that your log cabin is both stained and protected from the elements. First, our professionals clean the exterior of your log cabin home by pressure washing and sometimes, media blasting. Second, we use Conceal color match caulk from Sashco to fill any cracks or holes along the exterior of your log cabin. Once that is finished, our team uses airless paint sprayers to create a smooth, beautiful stain job. Then, we ensure the stain is also applied within the cracks along the surface of the logs by using back brushes. Wow, can’t you just envision the beauty?!
