Restoration and Preservation

Our Services

Offering more than 75 years of experience, Log Building Solutions professionally trained and certified crews offer homeowners the expertise necessary to professionally inspect, repair and maintain log structures. An extensive examination of the interior and exterior of the log structure is performed prior to refurbishing to determine if structural repair is necessary. Log Building Solutions utilizes corn cob blasting technology to remove aged and deteriorated finishes without damage to the home's compliments and surroundings, followed by the application of environmentally friendly agents to transform and preserve the original wood surface.
Cob Blasting
Corn media utilized in the removal of aged and deteriorated finishes is a biodegradable, non-toxic method favored by many log home professionals. This method is proven to remove up to 98% of the existing finish and produces a clean, dry and textured surface ideal for optimal penetration and adhesion of stains and other finishes. The original bare wood surface is ready to be transformed into the new color and finish of your choice. Learn More

Wood Decay and Log Placement
Decay is a natural process for any living matter that is exposed to the elements.  Wood is no exception.  When a tree is cut down, debarked and left unprotected it starts the decay process.  Log homes are commonly sold with a preservative treatment to help protect the logs.  However, over time these preservatives can break down for multiple reasons (uv rays, rain, sleet, snow, bugs etc.).Learn More
Air Filtration
There are multiple reasons for possible air infiltration in log homes.  Wood is a hygroscopic material, meaning it always will gain and lose moisture, therefore, there are opportunities for gaps to form between your logs.  Most log home companies have adequate sealing systems between the logs, however, there are times when the sealing system will fail.
