Log Cabin Restoration

Now, looking at a Log Home or Log Cabin Restoration there are first a few things homeowners should consider and a few tips for maintaining your log home’s beauty and structural durability. Initially for a log home or log cabin, as an owner you should make visual inspections at least twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, generally. And truly, this is your investment, no quick-glance, okie-doke inspections here. You are going to want to roll up your sleeves, bring the ladder out of the shed, and really check-out all of the exterior structure. What you are primarily focused on is water flow and protection from moisture build-up. This is the #1 killer of log home dwellings. As the best Log Cabin Restoration specialists and painter Tulsa has to offer, we know what to look for. You should inspect areas where the roof connects to the walls, starting with your gutters and making sure they are not clogged and no debris is blocking any of the proper downflow system that carries rainwater away from your logs. Check all of your external faucets and hose connection for drips or leaks that can cause undue moisture to build up around your log walls and surfaces. If you have dormers as opposed to gutters, be sure and inspect your dormers, they are often overlooked and can become soaked, potentially causing rot. Then make a thorough inspection of the logs themselves. Check all the visible seals, caulking and weatherizing sealants — and that these products are doing their job. Look for cracks or separations in areas that should be sealed. Keep an eye out for dark spots or any upward facing areas that water can collect. The wood will darken here and can be an indicator of the early stages of mold or decay. It’s important again that you inspect your log home at least twice a year if not more. And always be on the lookout for any of these signs of moisture build-up or water collection. Basic maintenance and early detection can save you thousands of dollars in restoration and rebuilding costs.
