Log Home Staining & Restoration
Sashco Certified log home staining, stripping, refinishing, and complete restoration. Mountain Man Painting delivers exceptional surface prep, premium coatings, and a finish built for Colorado's mountain environment.
Professional Log Home Staining & Restoration in Colorado Mountain Communities
Log homes need more than standard exterior paint. Exposed wood requires breathable stains, flexible sealants, and careful preparation to protect against Colorado's severe mountain weather while preserving the natural character of the logs.
As a Sashco Log Home Certified contractor, Mountain Man Painting specializes in log home staining, restoration, and refinishing—from maintenance topcoats to full stripping and re-staining of weathered structures.
Who This Is For
Log cabin and log home owners across Twin Lakes, Buena Vista, Breckenridge, Leadville, and surrounding mountain communities.
Surfaces & Project Types
- Exterior log walls and corners
- Log siding and timber trim
- Decks and railings on log structures
- Interior log and timber accents where applicable
Preparation Process
- Inspection of log condition, moisture, and existing coating
- Removal of failed stain through media blasting or chemical stripping where required
- Cleaning and wood brightening to restore natural color
- Sanding to open wood grain for stain penetration
- Checking and sealing gaps before staining
Application & Materials
- Compatible Sashco stain and sealant systems selected for the log condition
- Hand-brushed and back-brushed application for even penetration
- Maintenance topcoats on sound finishes to extend coating life
- Sealing of checks and joints to block moisture and air
Climate & Durability Considerations
High-altitude UV bleaches and breaks down log finishes faster than on standard siding. South and west exposures degrade first. Regular maintenance staining prevents the silvering, checking, and rot that lead to costly full restoration.
Service-Specific Benefits
- Sashco-certified application
- Hand-brushed stain for deep, even penetration
- Breathable finishes that protect without trapping moisture
- Maintenance planning to extend coating life

What Customers Say
"Contracted to stain our 21 year old log cabin. Although the cabin has been well maintained, Derek pointed to some improvements that could make it even better. His team was outstanding. They were focused but responsive and did an unbelievable job of covering everything that we signed up for. Outstanding job, done with a likeable but talented 4 man team and finished in record time of 1 1/2 days. What was amazing is that ALL of the staining was done by brush which is very very rare today and it showed in a glowing example of what a knowledgeable, focused team can deliver on. We will definitely use them again....and again as you must stay on top of the maintenance for real log cabins. Thank you Mountain Man Painting"
— Charles Whipple"Great experience!! Our deck needed serious help. Derek shored up loose wooden planks and did a bang up job with the paint. They also repaired water damage on a cinder block wall and painted it. Everything looks so much better. They do excellent work. They put all the furniture back afterwards. I am grateful to have them help care for our cabin."
