Before and after two very thorough cleanings with Permachink Log Wash and an application of Sascho Transformation Oil in Redwood. The first photo is a closeup showing how much gunk can buildup on a home in just 5 years. On the second photo you can see down the whole wall pictured in the first photo after cleaning and staining. I thought this was a great example of just how much buildup can occur on a new home in such a short timespan and how important regular cleaning is to your log home's appearance and health. A lot of factors determine how frequently a log home should be cleaned such as pollen, weather, UV exposure, dust if you live on a gravel road, and the construction methods and materials used in your home. I recommend annual or bi-annual cleanings. It is also an ideal opportunity to inspect your home for any other issues that may arise.

No need for full replacement on these massive 8 inch thick poplar behemoths. The decaying wood was spotted early and precision cut replacement pieces were installed with hidden log fasteners and matching chinking to make this cabin look brand new again.

This Brown County log home has been in a family for multiple generations. Over the years a log home's exterior can deteriorate from UV damage and weathering, which leaves the wood susceptible to rot and decay. Using a few wood restoration techniques we brought this cabin back to life. You can see in the last two photos the difference the restoration made to the appearance and health of the wood surface. I hope this cabin to remain beautiful and serve future generations for years to come and it is always a pleasure and privilege to work on beautiful antique homes such as this one. If you have graying, weathered, or damaged logs and would like a similar restoration and or quote contact me at 8123454761 or [email protected]

An improper flashing job on the nearby porch allowed this rot to become quite advanced. We removed the rotten wood, treated, and sealed before installing new matching half logs and chinking on a large portion of the wall. We also leveled and installed new step and cover flashing on the porch to prevent future issues. What cabin owners should takeaway and consider is that it's not always a worn finish or no/old chinking that will give way to rot. Oftentimes improper flashing, guttering, and watershed is found to be the culprit. Call us today at 812-345-4761 or email at [email protected] for a free quote

The best cosmetic repairs are ones you can't see. You want it to look like you were never even there. This cabin had holes in the chinking, mismatched color chinking repairs, and cracks-o-plenty that were showing daylight indoors and an eyesore to the homeowner. After removing bad sections, filling holes, and a little surface prep we gave this chinking a new lease on life with a bang up color correction via an elastomeric textured coating.

Never judge a book by its cover or a log by it's exterior finish! Here we have a seemingly solid looking bottom corner log when in reality the log is rotten to the core. Fortunately these homeowners were proactive and paid close attention to their home. Such a failure can and will result in a critical structural failure. Behind the surface of the log, which was protected by the stain and exterior finish, was powdery rot that was removable by hand. We caught this just in time and were able to make a replacement log from a locally sourced 110 year old oak to match the rest of this antique cabin. If you think you may have hollow or rotting cabin logs DO NOT wait. A simple way to check this yourself is by lightly tapping on the logs with the butt end of a screwdriver and listening for changes in tone. If you suspect any hollowing/rot then further inspection can be done by a log home professional. It really is worth it to be proactive and save yourself the hassle and money down the road. If you suspect you have damaged or rotten logs and would like a repair or inspection done call or text me at 812-345-4761 or email me at [email protected].

Starting this year we are selling dovetail log kits! With these kits you, your contractor of choice, or us can build and finish a dovetail cabin with all of the hard work done for you. The best part? They start at just $5,500 for a 10x10 !!! Kits include simple instructions and labeling to make your cabin as easy to assemble as a Lego kit and a heck of a lot easier than an Ikea desk! .
Here's how it works:

First, you schedule a consultation to talk about what features, window size and placement, stain/finish, and square footage you want

Second, you do nothing! After we receive your deposit you can sit back and relax while we custom cut your cabin.

Finally your logs can either be picked up in person, can be delivered locally by me, or can be shipped nation wide by the buyers company of choice.

These kit cabins can be constructed on any type of foundation including monolithic slab, skids, block, stones, etc.

These kit cabins are perfect for that pre-existing slab you have in your yard, the rustic garden shed you've always dreamed of, the ultimate grandchildren's playhouse, the mother-in-law, man cave, hunting cabin, full-time residency, and anything you can dream of.

Shown here is a home with weathering and UV damage to logs and aging synthetic chinking compound. After a chemical strip Permachink Ultra 7 stain was applied with Lifeline Advance Satin UV protective topcoat. Old chinking was pulled and replaced with the same product, Permachink in Sandstone. Woodpecker and boring insect repairs throughout as well. This is not only a cosmetic repair but is also preventative maintenance and a necessary application to ensure maximum log lifetime and weatherability. Call or text 812-345-4761 or email us at [email protected] for inquiries.
