Log Home Maintenance Coats – Protect Your Investment

A log home isn’t just a place to live—it’s a legacy. To preserve its beauty and structural integrity, regular maintenance is essential. At Superior Log & Rail, we recommend applying a maintenance coat of stain every 3 to 5 years, depending on your home’s exposure to the elements and overall condition.

Why a Maintenance Coat Matters

Over time, sun, wind, moisture, and temperature changes wear away even the best finishes. A maintenance coat acts as a protective barrier, keeping your logs sealed, your stain vibrant, and preventing costly repairs down the road.

Without it, your log home is vulnerable to:

UV damage and fading
Moisture intrusion and rot
Cracking, peeling, or flaking stain
Insect and pest issues

Our Process

When you choose us for your maintenance coat, we:

Inspect your home’s exterior for wear, damage, and problem areas.
Clean the logs with low-pressure washing to remove dirt, mildew, and debris.
Touch up or reapply caulking and chinking if needed.
Apply a fresh coat of stain, matched to your current color or refreshed for a new look.
Seal and protect your home with a UV- and water-resistant finish.

How Often Is Right for You?

Most log homes need a maintenance coat every 3–5 years, but the timeline depends on your location, weather, and how much sun or shade your home gets. We’re happy to assess your home and recommend a personalized schedule.

Book Your Maintenance Early

Spots fill up fast each season—especially spring and fall. If it’s been a few years since your last coat or you’re unsure, we’ll gladly come out and take a look.
