Log Home Log Replacing.

Lack of preventive maintenance can result in extensive log rot any may require actual replacement of your logs. The log home here (25 years old) had no preservatives for rot and bug infestation control.
Before staking, logs should be soaked in a glycol borate solution, sprayed or dipped. Not only is that a must but also all log ends under fascia's.

Log replacement warrants a master craftsman; measure twice, cut once and must be reserved only for the qualified. Log replacing is a MAJOR task and the structural integrity of your log home relies on this job being done correctly.


We will be replacing logs on the Northwest corner of this log home where log rot has all but destroyed the structural integrity of this home. Note: Everything that you see going on here, could have been prevented. To prevent this from happening to your log home investment, give us a call.


25 years old. No log preservatives. Just like any piece of unprotected wood left outside to the elements.		This log home had it all. Major damage from carpenter ants. UV damage and general neglect.

Did we get here in the nick of time?		If this had been much worse the potential for this wall collapsing would have been critical!

Considerably more going on here than weather damage to this home's logs..		You can see here that log damage was creeping in to every where and beyond.

This is a mandatory "Hard Hat Area".		A real tricky part of log replacement. Cutting out the destroyed logs without the home collapsing.

Obviously this was more than a one day job. Plastic is put up to protect the interior of the home.		Knowing where to obtain replacement logs that are going to match existing logs is important.

For years, log maintenance conditioning is what we accomplish. Here too, we spray a small stream of glycol borate or borate solution in lower and extended log upper checks on the weathered sides.		Here we are working on salvaging and restoring log ends on the adjacent side of our damaged area.
