Media blasting your log cabin shouldn’t be a job that you do yourself. If done incorrectly, media blasting can cause a lot of damage in a very short time.

It’s a process that won’t cause any damage to your home if done by a professional.
Log Cabin Chinking
Twin Lakes, CO, Log Home Staining
Traditional painting companies won’t have the same expertise that’s needed to stain log cabins. The sealing and application process is much different from the process going into painting a home or commercial business. If you need your log home stained, you should always rely on a professional to help choose the best staining for your log cabin.
Our professional log cabin finishing contractors use Sashco products like transformation stain and the capture/cascade to stain new construction and older log homes. We even have access to custom products that are not for sale to the public to help seal the end caps of natural wood. Whether it’s the ends of your log cabins or you need to seal the ends of a rail, this protective sealant can protect your wood and color match any stain.
Just as if you were to lay mortar for bricks, chinking is the glue that holds your log cabin together. It’s a flexible material used to fill in the gaps where your logs don’t meet completely. The chinking process is necessary for most cabins because it helps eliminate heat loss and air infiltration to help maximize your cabin’s energy rating. It can also be used to help keep any unwanted bugs and insects out of your cabins. The logs used to build your cabin won’t always be perfect, so the chinking process is necessary to get the best results.
How Often Do You Need to Stain Your Log Home?
You should stain your log cabin every 3 to 5 years depending on the kind of stain previously used and how often your cabin is exposed to elements such as wind, rain, sun, hail, and other extreme weather conditions common to the Rocky Mountains.
