If you live in the Northeastern United States and need log home repair services, we can help! The Northeast can be a brutally cold place in the winter so proper caulking and chinking is a must to keep your heating bills down. During the summer, moist and damp conditions can cause rotting and sun exposure can cause stains to weather. Log Replacement is usually not as severe as it can be in the southern states but is still one of the leading problems we find in this region. Contact a professional if your log home is showing signs of rot or weathering.

Natural occurrences to watch:

• Sun. Because the sun has a natural effect on your logs, be sure to have UV protecting stain applied to your log home. Pay close attention to the west and south sides of your log home / cabin, as these angles are likely to get the most sun exposure.
• Water. Like the sun, water also has a natural effect on your logs. Watch the amount of water that splashes on your lower logs during rain storms. Excessive water runoff will cause dirt to collect and keep your logs damp and more susceptible to log rot, insects, or black mold.
• Wind. The windy side of your log home will drive rain directly into your logs as well.
• Together. Combine all these natural occurrences with a lack of maintenance and you're in trouble. Be sure to keep a maintenance schedule and keep your log home as beautiful as the day it was built!
