MAINTENANCE
Log home maintenance is no more difficult, than caring for a stick-built house; it's just a different process. Maintain your log home regularly. Basic log maintenance means cleaning your log home every 2-3 years. Develop a schedule for recoating logs based on the manufacturer's instructions and warranty guidelines, as well as the needs of the home's exterior. All finishes wear with time-look for differences or bubbles in the finish, especially on the sunny side of your home. Always use the same products used in the first treatment and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
A log home is a unique product. Discuss your maintenance project with your Finnhus or the manufacturer of the preservatives or sealants you are using-both have the experience to guide you in the right direction.
