Northern Log Home Restoration proudly offers new log home construction services, including expert staining and finishing to protect and enhance your investment from the start. Staining new construction is a critical process that ensures your logs are properly sealed and protected against the elements. The process begins with a thorough inspection and most importantly the logs need to be prepped properly prior to any application of products. The most effective way to prep the logs is to use a powder form media followed by a light sanding or Osborne brushing. This will guarantee the wood pores are open and will allow proper absorption of the stain. If this process is excluded, the stain will not be absorbed and just lay on the surface of the log causing product failure. We then apply one coat of a high-quality exterior stain followed by caulking of all windows, doors, between log courses, joints, corners, upward checks, Etc. The second coat of stain is then applied sealing all the caulking or chinking to ensure the home is weather-tight and energy-efficient. Our meticulous approach to staining new construction helps preserve the beauty and integrity of your log home for years to come. Save yourself the headaches and do it right the first time!
